Ambuja Cements (ACEM) delivered strong cons operating performance in Q4FY25 with 13% YoY volume growth (18.7mt aided by MSA and recently acquired assets). The recent uptick in cement pricing aided NSR. Increase in volumes resulted in lower operating costs delivering EBITDA/t of Rs999. Going forward, focus would remain on ramping up of Penna and Sanghi assets which are at 45-50% utilization. Penna clinker units already achieved 75-80% CU and with ACC phasing out older unfeasible clinker units, ACEM would utilize Penna and Sanghi clinker units for feeding grinding units across regions. ACEM maintained its long-term efficiency gain target of Rs500/t through long term supplier agreements, group supply chain synergies, operational efficiencies and improvement in green power.
