Ahmedabad, Nov 3 – Ambuja Cements, a key part of the Adani Group, announced a breakout quarter for July‑September 2025 (Q2 FY26). The company’s consolidated net profit (PAT) leapt 364 percent from the same period last year, reaching ₹2,302 crore – a record high. Stand‑alone PAT jumped 177 percent to ₹1,387.55 crore, showing the strong performance of the core business.
Revenue hit ₹9,174 crore, the biggest ever second‑quarter result for the company and up 21 percent year‑on‑year. Earnings per share (EPS) rose 267 percent to ₹7.20, reflecting a solid return to investors. The company remains debt‑free, with a net worth of ₹69,493 crore at quarter‑end.
Operational highlights include a 58 percent rise in EBITDA to ₹1,761 crore, and an operating margin that climbed to 19.2 percent. EBITDA per tonne also grew 32 percent to ₹1,060. These gains came despite challenges from a long‑lasting monsoon season.
“We’ve seen a remarkable turnaround for the cement industry,” said CEO Vinod Bahety. “Even after the monsoon, GST 2.0 reforms, the new carbon credit trading scheme and the removal of coal cess are giving the sector a boost.” Bahety added that the outlook for the rest of FY26 remains bright, with expectations for double‑digit revenue growth and a four‑digit rise in EBITDA.
The company is also pushing capacity expansion. The FY28 target has been raised from 140 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 155 MTPA, adding 15 MTPA through cost‑effective debottlenecking (about $48 per tonne). New projects include a 4 MTPA kiln line at Bhatapara, Chhattisgarh, and a 2 MTPA grinding unit at Krishnapatnam, with an additional 7 MTPA expected to go online next quarter.
In short, Ambuja Cements delivered a record‑breaking quarter, grew profit and revenue sharply, and is set to expand capacity as it aims for continued growth in FY26 and beyond.
