ACC Cement Ltd, part of the Adani Group, posted a sharp rise in profitability for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025-26, supported by strong volume growth and a significant one-time gain from land sales.
The company reported consolidated profit after tax of approximately ₹1,119 crore for the quarter, compared with about ₹200 crore in the same period last year, marking a profit jump of roughly 460 per cent.
Revenue from operations increased nearly 30 per cent year-on-year to about ₹5,896 crore.
A portion of the profit surge came from a one-time gain of around ₹369 crore realised through the sale of land and assets at the company’s Thane facility earlier this year, which was recognised in the second-quarter results.
Operational metrics also reflected strong momentum.
ACC recorded its highest-ever quarterly output, with cement and related product volumes reaching 10 million tonnes, up from 8.6 million tonnes a year earlier.
Revenue from cement and allied services rose 26 per cent to ₹5,519 crore, while its ready-mix concrete business grew 56 per cent year-on-year to ₹453 crore.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) nearly doubled, rising to approximately ₹846 crore from ₹436 crore in the same quarter last year, and margins improved from 9.4 per cent to 14.3 per cent.
Industry reports noted that the company benefited from favourable sector dynamics, including sustained demand from infrastructure and housing projects.
ACC’s integration into the wider Adani Group ecosystem continues to offer supply-chain advantages, with efficiencies in logistics and energy sourcing contributing to lower operating costs and improved margins.
In addition to internal efficiencies, analysts pointed to improving pricing conditions in key markets and a higher share of premium cement products as contributing factors to revenue growth.
The company remains debt-free, and regulatory filings indicate that its net worth improved during the quarter.
While the exceptional profit increase was partly driven by the non-recurring land-sale gain, analysts emphasised that underlying business performance also strengthened meaningfully, supported by cost control measures, sales volume expansion and increased contribution from value-added products.
ACC stated that it will continue to focus on logistical optimisation, operational efficiencies and widening its premium product portfolio to sustain growth.
The results place ACC among the stronger performers in the domestic cement sector during the quarter, at a time when many peer companies have reported volume-driven growth supported by infrastructure spending and stable cement pricing.
