ACC Limited Posts Resilient Q1 FY'27 Results, Driven by Premiumization and Strategic Initiatives​

Ahmedabad: ACC Limited announced its consolidated results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 (Q1 FY'27), reporting resilient performance amidst industry headwinds. The company achieved a quarterly revenue of Rs 5,808 Cr and registered an Operating EBITDA of Rs 457 Cr, driven by increased share of trade volumes and continuous premiumization efforts, according to the results released on July 24, 2026.

The performance reflects marginal cost reductions achieved through focused operational optimization initiatives, despite facing headwinds related to geopolitical developments in West Asia that drove up fuel and logistics costs.

Consolidated Financial Highlights​

ACC Limited demonstrated a shift towards higher-margin products during Q1 FY'27. The company maintained quarterly sales volume at 10 Million Tonnes (MnT). The premium product segment accounted for 44% of trade sales, up by three percentage points year-over-year.

The consolidated financial figures for the first quarter of FY'27 are detailed below:

Strategic Business Updates and Capacity Expansion​

The company continues its journey toward building a simpler and more integrated business structure through the proposed amalgamation of ACC with Ambuja Cements, aiming to establish a One Cement Platform. This transaction is expected to be completed during FY'27.

In operational updates, the company has commenced trial runs for expanding grinding units at Salai Banwa (UP) and Kalamboli (MH), which are slated to add 1 MTPA capacity in the Q3 of FY'27. Furthermore, the share of Green Power increased from 26% to 31% in Q1 FY'27.

The company also achieved significant ESG certifications for its product portfolio. ACC received CII’s GreenPro certification and GRIHA certification across its entire B2B and B2C blended cement portfolio. This included additional recognition for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and innovation based on Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), validating the products' lifecycle performance.

Management Commentary​

Mr Vinod Bahety, Whole-Time Director and CEO of ACC Limited, stated that the company commenced FY'27 with a resilient performance trajectory, which was driven by a higher share of trade volumes and continued premiumization. He noted that profitability reflected planned maintenance of larger Integrated Units and increased material supply agreements (MSA) with parent Ambuja Cements.

Mr Bahety added that combined with strategic capacity expansions in Salai Banwa and Kalamboli, the company has visibility for improved performance in forthcoming quarters. Adani Cement is committed to delivering approximately Rs 250 PMT cost reductions in FY'27 through leveraging the integrated business model and group synergies.

Operational Metrics and ESG Milestones​

The operational metrics reflect a shift toward efficiency and sustainability focus:


Beyond core cement, the company’s Ready Mix (RMX) business footprint grew to 119 plants, with volume increasing by 17% at 0.97 Mn m3 year-over-year.

ACC Limited was recognized as India's Most Sustainable Company 2026 in the Cement Sector by Business Today. Additionally, Jamul Plant secured a Silver Award at the 18th CII National EHS Excellence Awards, and Ametha Plant received the British Safety Council International Safety Award 2026 (Merit Category).

Market Outlook and Risk Mitigation​

The Indian cement sector faces input cost pressures due to higher prices of imported fuels such as petcoke and thermal coal, alongside elevated freight costs stemming from geopolitical developments in West Asia. Given a 60 to 90 day fuel inventory cycle, the impact of peak fuel inflation is anticipated to align with the seasonally weaker Q2 quarter.

To mitigate these pressures, ACC Limited continues efforts through fuel mix optimization, increased renewable energy adoption, logistics efficiencies, and disciplined cost management. The long-term outlook for the sector remains constructive, supported by sustained infrastructure investments and urbanization, even as near-term demand is projected to remain soft at around 5% for FY'27.
