In a major development for India's cement sector, Ambuja Cements, part of the Adani Group, has received approval for the merger of ACC and Orient Cement, creating a unified ‘One Cement Platform.’ 

This move aims to strengthen the company’s position by integrating three of India's most trusted cement brands. The merger will optimise manufacturing, logistics, and capital deployment, while eliminating structural duplication and reducing administrative costs. Ambuja Cements plans to increase its cement production capacity from 107 MTPA to 155 MTPA by FY28. The merger also supports a unified ESG framework, promoting sustainable practices, renewable energy adoption, and low-carbon cement solutions. The merger simplifies the corporate structure, reduces costs, and speeds up decision-making by integrating ACC, Orient, Penna, and Sanghi into Ambuja Cements. 

With a strong, debt-free balance sheet, Ambuja plans to increase its production capacity from 107 MTPA to 155 MTPA by FY28.
