ACC Q2 profit jumps fivefold to Rs 1,119 crore on strong cement demand and higher sales

ACC Ltd, one of India’s leading cement manufacturers, reported an impressive fivefold surge in its consolidated profit after tax (PAT) to Rs 1,119 crore for the September quarter. The significant growth was attributed to strong cement demand, improved sales realization, and cost efficiency measures.

According to the company’s regulatory filing, ACC had posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 199.7 crore during the same quarter last year. The strong financial performance this year reflects a steady recovery in infrastructure and housing demand across key markets.

Consolidated revenue from operations rose sharply to Rs 5,896 crore in the September quarter, up from Rs 4,542 crore in the corresponding period last year. Total expenses also increased to Rs 5,393 crore compared to Rs 4,473 crore in the previous fiscal period, mainly due to higher input and logistics costs.

The cement and ancillary services segment, which forms the core of ACC’s business, recorded revenues of Rs 5,519 crore, as against Rs 4,373 crore a year earlier. Meanwhile, the ready-mix concrete (RMC) division reported revenue of Rs 453.6 crore, a notable jump from Rs 289 crore in the same period last year.

Industry experts note that ACC’s performance mirrors the broader momentum in India’s construction sector, where government-led infrastructure projects and robust housing activity have driven cement consumption to record highs. The company’s focus on sustainability, operational efficiency, and expanding its product portfolio has also strengthened its market position.

Analysts expect cement demand to remain strong in the coming quarters, supported by the ongoing infrastructure push and steady growth in the real estate sector. ACC’s continued investment in capacity expansion and green initiatives is likely to enhance its long-term profitability.

With this strong quarterly performance, ACC has reaffirmed its leadership position in the Indian cement industry, signaling positive prospects for the remainder of the fiscal year.
