- Company mitigating pressures through fuel mix optimisation, renewable energy adoption, logistics efficiencies, and disciplined cost management
Industry Outlook

Management Commentary
Mr. Vinod Bahety, Whole-Time Director & CEO, ACC Limited stated: "We have commenced FY'27 with a resilient performance, driven by a higher share of trade volumes and continued premiumization. During the quarter, profitability reflected the impact of planned maintenance of larger Integrated Units, higher MSA with parent Ambuja Cements, even as we continued to prioritize value-led growth and quality earnings."
He added: "Our journey towards building a simpler, stronger and more integrated business continues through the proposed One Cement Platform. Combined with strategic capacity expansions at Salai Banwa and Kalamboli, CiNOC-enabled operational excellence and customer-focused solutions, we have a good visibility of improved performance in the coming quarters. Leveraging the strength of our integrated business model and group synergies, Adani Cement at consolidated level remains committed to delivering approximately Rs 250 PMT cost reductions in FY'27."
