It is the lowest Ebitda/tonne in last 22 quarters. The sequential decrease in Ebitda was primarily due to higher power and fuel and freight cost, offset by marginal increase in cement realisation.

ACC is set to improve efficiency with commissioning of Jamul and Kymore waste heat recovery system plants by Q3 CY22, while orders are placed for further capacity addition at Chanda and Wadi plants (29 mega watt) taking total capacity to 75 mega watt.
