ACC Limited, the cement and building materials company of the diversified Adani Portfolio, announced robust results for Q4 and the full year ended March 31, 2025. This financial performance record results from an overall boost in volumes and consistent improvement in cost and efficiency parameters.
Vinod Bahety, Whole Time Director & CEO, ACC, said, “As we conclude this FY, ACC stands stronger, more agile and ready for the future. This year has been marked by strategic milestones reinforcing our position as a leader in the Indian cement industry.

ACC is the only large Cement company with science-based net-zero targets validated by SBTi. Innovation continues to remain central to our approach. Through our digital transformation programme, we leverage data, AI, and automation to drive efficiencies across the value chain from Quarry to Lorry. Those efforts have translated into improved operational matrices, strengthened customer engagement and long-term value creation. I want to express my heartful appreciation to our employees, partners and shareholders for their support and trust. Together, we are building a sustainable and resilient ACC, India’s oldest Cement company getting younger by the day, the TRUST factor getting stronger by the day - one that’s equipped to shape the future of construction of India.’’
The company has made significant strides in improving operational efficiency through various initiatives, resulting in notable cost reductions and volume growth. Key performance indicators (KPIs) such as volumes, efficiencies, cost, and capital expenditure have all shown healthy improvements, reinforcing the company’s commitment to cost leadership. Year-on-year, volume increased by 14%, driven by higher trade volumes and a larger share of premium products in trade sales, ensuring market leadership. The share of green power also saw substantial growth, with WHRS power increasing by 5.3 percentage points to 13.5% and solar power share rising by 5 percentage points to 7.9%, bringing the total green power share to 22.5%. The company has set a clear roadmap to achieve 60% green power share by FY 2028. In terms of fuel optimisation, the use of low-cost imported petcoke, improved coal linkages, and synergies with group companies led to a 23% reduction in kiln fuel costs. Logistics costs were also reduced by 8%, driven by efficiency improvements, including a reduction in secondary lead distances and an increase in direct dispatch. Freight cost reductions through negotiations and a shift to marine logistics will drive further improvements in the coming quarters.
The company reported its highest-ever quarterly revenue of Rs 6,067 crore, driven by increased trade sales volume and a higher percentage of premium products in trade sales, which stood at 41% (up 7 percentage points YoY). This volume growth, combined with improved operational efficiencies, contributed to strong performance across all business parameters. The operating EBITDA reached Rs 830 crore, with an EBITDA margin of 13.7%. Cash and cash equivalents stood at Rs 3,593 crore, while the company achieved its highest-ever net worth of Rs 18,559 crore, reflecting a year-on-year increase of Rs 2,227 crore. The diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter was Rs 39.9.
