Vinod Bahety, Whole Time Director & CEO, Ambuja Cements, said: “We have started FY27 with strong momentum, driven by our focus on value-led growth, premiumisation and disciplined execution. Higher trade sales and an increased share of premium products strengthened our market mix, resulting in improved profitability and quality of earnings. Despite temporary cost headwinds arising from the West Asia geopolitical tensions, we delivered a sequential cost reduction of Rs. 206 PMT through operational excellence, improved energy efficiency, a lower clinker factor and disciplined cost management. This resulted in a 331 bps QoQ expansion in EBITDA margin to 16.7%. Looking ahead, we are confident on continuing our momentum and improve our cost structure further. We are well on track to increase our capacity to 119 MTPA by the end of FY27, with the commissioning of Dahej (1.2 MTPA), Salai Banwa (2.4 MTPA), Bathinda (1.2 MTPA) Jodhpur (2 MTPA), Kalamboli (1 MTPA) and Warisaliganj (2.4 MTPA). We are firmly on course to deliver cost reduction of approximately Rs 250 PMT to achieve the targeted cost of Rs 4,250 PMT by the end of FY27. At the same time, we continue to strengthen our leadership in sustainable construction through innovation and our partnership with LEILAC, accelerating our low-carbon transition and building capabilities that will support the next phase of growth."
