ACC Limited — PPTs, 04-05-2026: Investor Presentation

Ambuja Cements reported strong FY26, with consolidated cement sales volume growing 16% to 73.7 MnT and revenue up 15% to ₹ 40,656 Cr. Annual operating EBITDA per tonne increased 12% to ₹ 887. Q4FY26 saw 10% volume growth, but operating EBITDA and normalized PAT declined due to higher fuel costs and supply constraints.

The company is aggressively expanding capacity, targeting ~119 MTPA by H1FY27 from 109 MTPA, focusing on stabilizing new units and boosting utilization to 85%. Cost optimization efforts, including fuel mix changes, increased green power, and logistics efficiency, aim to reduce total cement cost by ₹ 150-200 PMT in FY27. Digital initiatives like CiNOC are enhancing operational control.

Ambuja has successfully merged Sanghi Industries and Penna Cement; amalgamation schemes for ACC and Orient Cement are progressing. A new clinkering line at Jodhpur and a grinding unit trial at Dahej have started. For FY26, normalized PAT grew 17% to ₹ 2,647 Cr, with diluted EPS at ₹ 19.05. The company remains debt-free with ₹ 1,770 Cr in cash & equivalents.

Management anticipates soft demand growth (~5%) for FY27 due to external conflicts and monsoon forecasts, but highlights strong long-term demand drivers. Focus remains on cost-mitigation, asset reliability, and improving capacity utilization.
