Commenting on the results Mr. Neeraj Akhoury, CEO, Holcim India, and Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Ambuja Cements Limited said: “Ambuja has recorded robust volume growth of 15%, and top-line growth of 18%. Ambuja Kawach, our green cement, demonstrated a growth of 22% year on year. The April to June 2022 quarter was impacted by rising fuel prices and related inflationary impacts. This was partly mitigated by improved efficiencies delivered under our 'I CAN' program which continues to deliver strong results. In addition, the Master Supply Agreement with ACC also led to strong performance on logistics costs. Our expansion projects of 8.5 million tonnes of cement capacity at Ropar and Bhatapara are on track. The ongoing Waste Heat recovery projects of - 53 MW are to be commissioned in the third quarter of 2022, which will support our efficiency initiatives and lead to the delivery of our sustainability goals.”
