ACC Limited, one of India’s leading producers of cement and concrete solutions and part of the Adani Group, has announced its results for the quarter ending June 30, 2025. The company has started the financial year on a strong note, supported by increased demand for premium products, expanding reach through new ready-mix concrete (RMX) plants, and continued focus on operational efficiency and responsible growth.
Vinod Bahety, Whole-Time Director & CEO of ACC Limited, said “Our first-quarter results reflect consistent execution of a focused strategy centered on product leadership, operational discipline, and sustainability. The growth in volumes, efficiency gains, and digital advancements underscore our commitment to delivering value while scaling responsibly. With validated science-based climate targets, we remain at the forefront of sustainable construction in India and beyond.”
ACC Limited recorded a 12% year-on-year increase in overall sales volumes during the first quarter. This growth was driven by strong trade channel performance and a notable shift toward higher-value offerings. Premium products now account for a greater share of sales, with a 7-percentage-point rise in their contribution to trade volumes—an encouraging sign of growing customer demand for advanced construction materials.
The company continued to strengthen its cost competitiveness through tighter operational controls and improved capital allocation. These efforts translated into margin gains and further established ACC as one of the most efficient companies in the building materials sector, ensuring its long-term resilience in a dynamic market environment.
ACC made significant progress in increasing its renewable energy use. The contribution from Waste Heat Recovery Systems (WHRS) rose from 9.9% to 13.9%, while solar power’s share increased from 3.4% to 11.3%. These combined efforts pushed the total green energy share to 26.2%—an 11.9 percentage point rise over the previous period. The company remains well ahead of its roadmap to reach a 60% share of renewable power by FY28.
Together with Ambuja Cements, ACC became one of only four major global cement manufacturers to have both short- and long-term emissions goals validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This milestone reflects the company’s deep commitment to aligning its operations with internationally recognized climate science.
The company launched a fully digital Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for FY 2024–25. This interactive platform provides stakeholders with user-friendly access to environmental, social, and governance data, reinforcing ACC’s dedication to transparency and corporate responsibility.
ACC achieved key sustainability certifications by completing Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) and securing Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for both PPC cement and ready-mix concrete. These certifications, aligned with ISO standards, are now listed on the EPD International Portal based in Sweden—making product-level environmental data publicly available.
In an effort to reach new customer segments and promote sustainable construction, ACC signed a strategic partnership with CREDAI. The company also launched a high-impact digital ad campaign for its premium product line, which surpassed 125 million views. Additional branding efforts during IPL 2025 reached over 600 million viewers. Offline and digital promotional efforts—including training workshops for nearly 4,000 contractors and audio campaigns across platforms like Spotify and JioSaavn—have also strengthened its B2B and B2C presence.
On the technology front, ACC implemented DIGIPIN to support address standardization and hyperlocal marketing. The company also adopted SAP Funds Management to improve financial oversight and cost control. Remote access to plant systems was enabled for real-time monitoring, and a Master Data Management (MDM) initiative was launched to enhance data consistency and streamline system integration across operations.
With a legacy spanning nearly 90 years, ACC operates 20 cement plants, 114 ready-mix concrete facilities, and a wide network of distributors across India. The company is accelerating its transition to sustainable practices through greater use of clean energy, improved resource efficiency, and investment in digital systems.
Together with Ambuja Cements, ACC is among the few global building materials companies committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, with near-term goals already validated by the SBTi. Through collaboration with the broader Adani Group, ACC benefits from synergies in logistics, energy, infrastructure, and digitalization.
In recognition of its climate action, CDP awarded ACC a Leadership Score of A–. Its innovative products are listed in the GRIHA catalogue, contributing to India’s shift toward low-emission construction. ACC continues to rank among India’s Most Trusted Cement Brands (TRA Research) and has been recognized for the third year in a row as one of the ‘Iconic Brands of India’ by The Economic Times.
