Ahmedabad, April 29 (NationPress) Ambuja Cements, a key player in the cement and building materials sector under the diversified Adani Group, announced an impressive 9 percent increase in its annual PAT, reaching Rs 5,158 crore for FY25. This milestone also marks the company’s achievement of crossing the 100 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) production capacity last fiscal year.

With this accomplishment, Ambuja has positioned itself among the world’s top nine cement companies.

The organization recorded its highest-ever annual revenue at Rs 35,045 crore, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 6 percent. Furthermore, it achieved a record annual volume of 65.2 million tonnes in FY25, which is a 10 percent increase compared to the previous year.

This impressive performance can be attributed to enhanced KPIs across various operational metrics, showcasing the company's resilience, healthy volume growth, effective asset management, robust cost leadership, and synergies within the group.

“This year represents a historic milestone in Ambuja Cements' journey as we surpass the 100 MTPA capacity. We are actively pursuing organic expansions at multiple sites across the nation, aiming for a capacity of 118 MTPA by the conclusion of FY 2026, which will bring us closer to our target of 140 MTPA by 2028,” stated Vinod Bahety, Whole Time Director and CEO of Ambuja Cements.

“The 100 MTPA milestone signifies more than just a figure; it epitomizes our ambition, resilience, and purpose.

The company has successfully commissioned a 2.4 MTPA brownfield expansion of general use (GU) in Farakka (West Bengal), alongside debottlenecking efforts that resulted in an additional 0.5 MTPA across various facilities.

Moreover, the cement manufacturer has initiated the commissioning of 299 MW of renewable energy power out of a planned total of 1,000 MW, with the remaining to be achieved progressively by June 2026.

Logistics costs have also been reduced by 2 percent, now standing at Rs 1,238 per tonne, reflecting improvements in operational efficiency.
