Ambuja Cements Limited reported a 90 percent year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to Rs 236 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to Rs 2,336 crore in the same quarter of the previous year. Revenue from operations was largely flat at Rs 9,197 crore, with sales volume at 16.5 million tonnes. The company commissioned 4.6 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of new capacity during the quarter and is ramping up 3.2 MTPA at Bathinda and Jodhpur Penna, while 2.4 MTPA at Warisaliganj is expected to be commissioned in the second half of FY27.
The sharp drop in profit was influenced by the absence of tax benefits recorded in the previous year, when a net tax credit of Rs 1,453 crore was recognised compared to a tax expense of Rs 62 crore in Q2 FY27. For the first half of FY27, consolidated net profit fell to Rs 896 crore from Rs 3,377 crore a year earlier.
