ACC profit soars 460 percent in Q2
ACC Limited, part of the Adani Portfolio, reported a 460 percent year-on-year jump in profit after tax to Rs 1,119 crore for the September quarter, driven by record volume sales of 10 million tonnes, up 16 percent. Revenue rose 28 percent to Rs 5,932 crore, the highest ever for a Q2 period.
Despite prolonged monsoons, the company cited supportive policy measures including GST 2.0 reforms, the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme, and removal of coal cess as key demand drivers. Capacity additions from the Salai Banwa and Kalamboli projects will bring 3.4 million tonnes per annum online this year. Plant and logistics debottlenecking efforts aim to unlock 5.6 million tonnes of additional capacity and boost utilization.
ACC’s net worth grew by Rs 1,151 crore during the quarter to Rs 19,937 crore. The company remains debt-free with Crisil AAA (Stable)/A1+ ratings. As part of the Adani Cement group under Ambuja Cements, ACC benefits from shared logistics, renewable energy, and innovation. Upcoming Ambuja assets—including 30 million tonnes of clinker capacity and 1,000 MW of renewable power—will support ACC through master service agreements. The company targets a cost of Rs 3,650 per tonne by FY28 and sees a positive outlook for the rest of FY26.
