Outlook

Cement demand during Q1 FY’26 registered 4% growth, compared to the marginal 2% growth during the same period in FY’25. Growth was largely driven by the Government’s ongoing flagship programmes – PMAY, PMSY, Bharatmala, Sagarmala and other cement intensive projects. The cement sector’s growth outlook for Q2 FY’26 continues to remain positive. For FY‘26, we expect cement demand to grow in the range of 7% - 8% backed by sturdy rural and urban demand, modest pickup in infrastructure spending and a steady recovery in housing & real estate. Ambuja Cements is well-positioned to capitalise on this growth with its expanding capacity, cost leadership, and sustainability focus.
