ACC Cement, part of the Adani Group's rapidly expanding cement vertical, is poised to benefit significantly from India's anticipated infrastructure investment of around USD 2.2 trillion by 2030. The company, which surpassed the 100 MTPA production milestone recently, has set its sights on reaching 140 MTPA by FY 2027-28. With strong backing from Adani Group's integrated logistics and energy infrastructure, ACC is enhancing cost efficiency, supply chain speed, and sustainability while playing a pivotal role in India's construction and economic development journey.
ACC Chairman Karan Adani recently stated that the cement industry would play a vital role as a "key enabler" of infrastructure development in India and is likely to reap considerable benefits from the projected USD 2.2 trillion investment in this sector by 2030. Advertisement
ACC Cement, a part of the Adani Group's cement arm, reached a production capacity milestone of over 100 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) during April 2025. Adani conveyed in the company's latest annual report that ACC is contributing meaningfully to India's progress by establishing a robust and sustainable foundation for the nation's future.
He noted that with infrastructure being crucial to achieving India's 2030 economic goals, the cement industry is uniquely positioned to thrive amid the massive investment projections. The industry, according to him, is gearing up for major expansion, with well-aligned strategic priorities to tap into the emerging opportunities.
ACC functions under Ambuja Cement, the flagship of Adani Group's cement division, led by billionaire Gautam Adani. Highlighting recent developments, Karan Adani said that having crossed the 100 MTPA threshold, the company is inching closer to its ambitious 140 MTPA capacity goal, set for completion by FY 2027-28. He emphasised that ACC stands as India's fastest-growing cement business and remains committed to delivering a solid and sustainable infrastructure base for national growth.
He also indicated that the Adani Group's dominance across related industries is having a transformative impact on ACC's operations. By tapping into the Group's extensive logistics network-encompassing ports, railways, and highways-ACC has been able to significantly cut operational costs, streamline its supply chain, and speed up deliveries.
Moreover, access to the Group's vast mining and energy assets is enabling a steady and cost-effective supply of raw materials, further sharpening ACC's competitive position. The Group plans to enhance the Master Supply Agreement (MSA) between Ambuja Cement and ACC to enable more effective procurement of cement, clinker, and raw materials, ultimately leading to operational efficiencies.
Karan Adani added that the company is determined to maximise value creation by strengthening synergies within the Adani ecosystem. This includes expanding MSAs with Ambuja Cements, acquiring additional raw material reserves, and undertaking greenfield and brownfield developments to boost capacity.
ACC is also pushing the envelope on digitalisation and sustainability. The company is actively incorporating advanced technologies to drive efficiency and remains focused on its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives.
He reiterated that the company remains focused on delivering high value, embracing innovation, and contributing significantly to India's overall development trajectory. Despite being a relatively late entrant into the cement sector, the Adani Group now accounts for nearly 30 per cent of the cement consumed across India's housing and infrastructure segments.
The company's annual report also projected that the Indian cement industry would continue its growth trajectory, expanding at an annual rate of 6-7 per cent and likely reaching 475-480 million MT in output by FY 2025-26. Currently, the country's total installed cement production capacity stands at 686 MT.
The company's ambitious expansion goals, emphasis on sustainability, and drive towards digital transformation suggest it is gearing up not just to compete but to lead in the cement sector. As the nation embarks on a multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure journey, ACC's evolving role may serve as a cornerstone in shaping India's economic and developmental landscape.
