Ambuja Cements Delivers 24% Profit Surge in Q1FY26, Powered by Orient Cement Acquisition

Ambuja Cements, an Adani Group company, has posted impressive results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 (Q1FY26), showing substantial growth in both profit and revenue. The company’s consolidated net profit rose by 23.81% year-on-year to ?969.66 crore, up from ?783.18 crore in the same quarter last year. Meanwhile, revenue from operations surged 23.54% to ?10,244.11 crore, compared to ?8,292.10 crore in Q1FY25.


Despite an increase in tax outgo — rising to ?362.97 crore from ?310.88 crore — Ambuja’s profitability was bolstered by cost efficiencies and strategic expansion moves. A major contributor to the strong financial performance was the acquisition of a 72% majority stake in Orient Cement, completed during the quarter for over ?5,900 crore.


With the deal finalized on June 18, 2025, and operational control secured, Orient Cement’s financials were consolidated into Ambuja’s books from April 22, 2025. This integration significantly amplified Ambuja’s topline and bottom-line figures for the quarter.


The company continues to benefit from scale efficiencies, improved logistics, and a wider distribution network, reinforcing its position in the Indian cement sector. This performance sets a positive tone for the rest of FY26 as Ambuja leverages its expanded footprint and synergized operations.
