ACC Q1FY27- Key highlights
ACC sold 10 million tonnes of cement during the quarter, lower than 10.7 million tonnes in Q1FY26. However, the company increased its trade sales share by five percentage points to 81%, while premium products accounted for 44% of trade sales, up three percentage points from a year earlier.
ACC said imported fuel prices, including petcoke and thermal coal, remained elevated during the quarter due to geopolitical tensions in West Asia. Higher freight and logistics costs also impacted profitability.
The company said it achieved marginal sequential cost savings through focused cost optimisation initiatives despite these headwinds. It added that the peak impact of higher fuel costs is expected to coincide with the seasonally weaker second quarter because of the industry’s 60-90 day fuel inventory cycle.
Outlook
ACC said cement demand is expected to grow around 5% in FY27. While monsoon-related weakness, geopolitical uncertainties and input cost volatility could affect near-term demand, the company expects long-term growth to remain supported by infrastructure spending, urbanisation and housing demand.
Planned maintenance hit Q1 profit: ACC CEO
Whole-Time Director and CEO of ACC, Vinod Bahety says profit was hurt by maintenance shutdowns at key plants and higher service-related charges paid to parent Ambuja Cements. “We have commenced FY’27 with a resilient performance, driven by a higher share of trade volumes and continued premiumization. During the quarter, profitability reflected the impact of planned maintenance of larger Integrated Units, higher MSA with parent Ambuja Cements, even as we continued to prioritize value-led growth and quality earnings,” Bahety.
