What Drove Revenue Growth
ACC saw almost a 13% annual increase in its topline in Q4 FY25. This was driven by an 11% and 32% uptick in cement and ready mix concrete sales. The company's sales volume during the quarter also saw a 14% annual uptick to 11.9 million tonnes, the highest ever sales volume in a quarter.
The 3% annual dip in the company's Ebitda in Q4 was on the back of higher material costs and stock-in-trade purchases.
Demand Outlook
Cement consumption grew by 8% during the quarter, higher than 7% growth seen in the previous quarter. This increase in demand was driven by a pick-up in construction activities, better rural demand, traction in the real estate sector as well as higher government spending on infra and construction activities, ACC said.
The company states that as per the growth trends seen in second half of FY25, cement demand in FY26 will continue to benefit from the momentum gained by government spending. The company anticipates growth of 7% to 8% for FY26.
