Ambuja Cements has reported a significant decline in its net profit for the second quarter of the financial year 2025 (Q2 FY25), with a drop of 42.5% to ₹455.96 crore, down from ₹792.96 crore in the same period last year. This decline was partly attributed to an exceptional item worth ₹156.20 crore related to the settlement of arbitral proceedings between ACC Mineral Resources Ltd and JMS Mining Pvt Ltd. Despite this profit drop, the company’s revenue from operations saw a slight increase of 1.24%, reaching ₹7,516.11 crore compared to ₹7,423.95 crore in the previous year.

Ajay Kapur, the Whole Time Director and CEO of Ambuja Cements, highlighted the company’s strategic growth initiatives, stating that they are expanding into new geographies and are on track to achieve a capacity of over 100 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) by the end of the fiscal year. The company has also reported improvements in operational efficiencies and cost management, particularly through the use of lower-cost fuel options which have contributed to a reduction in kiln fuel costs. Additionally, Ambuja Cements’ stock experienced a notable surge of 4.61% following the Q2 results, reflecting investor confidence despite the profit decline. The company has also announced plans to acquire a nearly 47% stake in rival Orient Cement for ₹3,791 crore, which is expected to enhance its market presence further.
