Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], July 29 (ANI): ACC Limited, the cement and building materials company of the Adani Group, announced its earnings results for the April-June quarter on Monday. The cement company achieved another steady quarterly performance.
The Adani Group company reported its highest-ever volume of 10.2 million tonnes during the quarter, marking a 9 percent year-on-year increase over the last five years.

The company stated that ACC’s ready-mixed concrete business is growing steadily, with profitability driven by improved efficiency parameters and optimizing its footprint.
Regarding the outlook, the company noted that the Indian cement industry, which accounts for 23 percent of India’s building material industry, has a strong correlation with India’s GDP growth.
With a stable government and progressive policies, the Indian economy for 2024-25 is expected to grow in the range of 6.5-7.0 percent, with growth in the cement industry likely to be 7-9 percent.
