EBITDA increased 10% YoY to INR18.7b (vs. estimated INR14.4b), and EBITDA/t stood at INR1,001 vs. estimated INR752. Adjusted profit after MI was down ~16% YoY to INR4.5b (vs. estimated INR3.8b).

ACEM’s capacity expansion plans remain on track, and it will have a cement capacity of 140mtpa by FY28E. Most of the capacity expansion in FY26 will be through organic routes, though management is not averse to inorganic plans.
