Ahmedabad, April 30 (IANS). ACC Ltd, which is part of Adani Group’s cement portfolio, on Thursday reported strong financial performance for FY26.
The company said in its stock exchange filing that it recorded 18 percent year-on-year growth in revenue from operations to Rs 25,962 crore, while EBITDA stood at Rs 2,950 crore.
The company also said that it has recorded the highest sales volume of 43.9 million tonnes so far this year.
Commenting on the company’s performance, Vinod Baheti, CEO of the company, said that this growth has been possible due to better products, better utilization of capacity and strong operations. He said that in the times to come, performance will further improve by reducing costs and improving operations.
He further added, “Despite the difficult circumstances, we recorded our highest ever sales and revenues this quarter.”
The company’s income increased by 17 percent to Rs 7,146 crore in the March quarter of FY 2026, which is the highest quarterly income till date.
Sales in this quarter stood at 11.9 million tonnes, which is 8 percent more than last year.
During this period, the share of premium cement increased to 45 percent, from 41 percent a year ago.
ACC Limited’s ready-mix concrete (RMC) business also performed well. Its sales increased by 33 percent to 1.14 million cubic meters in the quarter.

The capacity utilization of the company also increased by about 9 percent to about 80 percent.
The company’s net profit in FY 2026 was Rs 1,304 crore, which was Rs 1,187 crore last year.
The company said that the profit in FY 2025 included one-time income of Rs 637 crore, which was received due to exemption in excise duty, hence the base for that year was higher.
The company said fuel and logistics costs increased due to ongoing tensions in West Asia, which put pressure on margins.
This pressure may continue in the first half of FY 2027 also. For this, the company is working on changing the fuel mix, increasing the use of renewable energy and improving logistics.
Operationally, the company has a strong balance sheet and has no debt. The company’s total assets (net worth) are Rs 20,554 crore and it has cash reserves of Rs 918 crore.
