en.Wedoany.com Reported - Karan Adani, Chairman of ACC Limited (ACC Ltd), an Indian cement and ready-mix concrete company, stated in the company's latest annual report that ACC will prudently expand cement capacity, deepen its ready-mix concrete business layout, and accelerate the application of low-carbon technologies, aiming to become a comprehensive building materials solutions provider that is both competitive and responsible.
In his letter to shareholders in the annual report, Adani disclosed that India's public capital expenditure has grown to over 12 trillion Indian rupees (approximately $127 billion), accounting for about 4.4% of the country's GDP. He pointed out that India is simultaneously advancing urban housing expansion, logistics network modernization, renewable energy capacity construction, and industrial ecosystem strengthening. These multiple growth factors require building materials companies to transform from commodity suppliers into comprehensive solutions providers.
Adani stated that cement and concrete together form the language of construction, with infrastructure and real estate development increasingly demanding engineered solutions delivered at the application site. "We are no longer distant participants in the construction industry, but partners in execution," he added, noting that technical involvement, mix optimization, and application support are helping improve project timelines, reduce waste, and enhance structural durability. ACC is embedding data analytics, digital visibility, and predictive systems across its manufacturing, logistics, and market operations to improve efficiency and responsiveness.
Founded in 1936 and headquartered in Ahmedabad, India, ACC Limited has been part of the Adani Group since 2022. The company is a leading supplier of cement and ready-mix concrete in India, operating 18 cement manufacturing plants and over 82 ready-mix concrete batching plants. As of March 31, 2025, ACC's cement capacity stood at 35.8 million tonnes per year. In fiscal year 2025, the company reported revenue of 228.347 billion rupees. ACC, along with its parent company Ambuja Cements, belongs to the Adani Cement platform and is pursuing capacity expansion through organic growth and acquisitions, targeting a cement capacity of 140 million tonnes by fiscal year 2027-28.
In terms of sustainable development, Adani stated that the company is committed to reducing its environmental footprint by increasing the use of blended cement, renewable energy, alternative fuels, and improving thermal efficiency, ensuring that industrial growth progresses in tandem with environmental responsibility. Over 85% of the product portfolio of ACC and Ambuja Cements consists of low-carbon green cement. ACC is currently advancing a merger with its parent company Ambuja Cements and Orient Cement to create a unified pan-Indian building materials platform.
