Published on April 30, 2026.
Adani Group-owned Indian cement maker ACC's Q4 profit fell by 66.2% to $26.2 million, largely due to higher input costs. Revenue rose by 17.6% to 70.54 billion rupees, driven by an 8% growth in cement sales volumes. Total expenses rose by 22.1% to 67.44 billion rupee, while operating EBITDA margin fell to 8.8%. The company expects demand to remain around 5% amid rising monsoon season and fluctuating fuel prices.
