From Orient Cement's Q4 FY26 earnings-call transcript · updated 24 Aug 2026.

Revenue & Sales Performance

Ambuja Cements expects consolidated volumes to grow around 8% to reach approximately 80 million tonnes in FY '27, despite softer industry demand forecast of 5-5.5%.
Growth will be driven by stabilizing acquired assets (Sanghi, Penna) and commissioning ongoing expansions adding about 10 million tonnes capacity by September FY '27.
Utilization targets for acquired assets: Sanghi at 65-70%, Penna at 55-60%, Orient at full capacity; existing assets targeted at 75-80% utilization.
Capacity expansion plans are being recalibrated with focus on optimizing existing capacities and disciplined capital allocation; capacity expected to reach 119 million tonnes by end FY '27.
Medium to long-term plans to increase capacity to 140-155 million tonnes have been deferred by 1-2 years, likely shifting targets to FY '30.
Emphasis on growing sales through strengthening brand penetration, scaling trade and premium cement sales, and cost and capital discipline.
