The proposed integration into the One Cement Platform is expected to accelerate both efficiency and growth, enabling deeper synergies across procurement, manufacturing and distribution once statutory approvals are completed. Our digitalization agenda under CiNOC is designed to substantially improve productivity and optimize business operations at scale. Our Reliability, Environment, Quality and Safety (RESQ) pillars continue to be the cornerstone of how we run our plants and processes, and we have further tightened systems around these. On the market side, our premium portfolio, led by ACC Gold, continues to deliver superior EBITDA margins, and the increasing share of Trade and Premium is expected to sustain realization advantages. We are grateful to our customers, our expansive dealer and retailer network of over one lakh partners, and the seven‑lakh‑plus influencers (masons/contractors) who power the Adani Cement Parivar.
