Ambuja Cements Q1FY27: Volumes and margins

Sales volumes for the quarter came in at 17.1 million tonnes, down 7% year-on-year and 14% lower sequentially. The company attributed the sequential decline to a deliberate push toward higher-margin trade sales and blended cement, rather than chasing volume growth.

Consolidated EBITDA fell 19% year-on-year to Rs 1,589 crore from Rs 1,961 crore, though it rose 8% from Rs 1,465 crore in the March quarter. EBITDA margin narrowed to 16.7% from 19.1% a year earlier, but improved from 13.4% in the preceding quarter. 

Ambuja Cements Q1FY27: Cost pressures and mitigation

According to the company, input costs came under pressure during the quarter from higher prices of imported fuels and elevated freight and logistics costs tied to geopolitical developments in West Asia, with packaging costs alone rising 25-30% during the period. 

Despite this, the company said it achieved a sequential cost reduction of Rs 206 per tonne through fuel-mix optimisation, greater use of domestic coal, higher renewable power adoption and logistics efficiencies.
