Dear Shareholder,
We are reaching greater milestones in ACC's transformative journey, elevating its
legacy to new heights under the far-reaching and diversified Adani Group. As a vital
pillar of the Group's infrastructural prowess, our cement business plays a crucial role in
driving the growth and development of our nation's infrastructure. With sustained growth

priorities, which significantly contributes to the overall market leadership of the Adani

efforts and noteworthy achievements of our strong, young team as we drive ACC's growth

Driving Growth through Opportunities
India's economic growth has been remarkable. The nation reached its first
trillion-dollar milestone 60 years after independence, with the subsequent trillions
achieved in just seven and five years, respectively. This rapid progress underscores
India's commitment to quality growth, driven by increased capital expenditure, robust
domestic consumption, a burgeoning digital and gig economy, an expanding, younger and more
skilled workforce, as well as substantial investments in infrastructure and manufacturing.
The infrastructure sector, vital to realising India's economic ambitions by 2030, is
projected to require investments of approximately USD 2.2 trillion. As a key enabler of
infrastructure growth, the cement industry stands to benefit significantly from these
investments.
As India advances towards its vision of Viksit Bharat', we take immense pride in
contributing to the nation's growth story. Our products reflect our commitment to
progress, quality and sustainability. We crossed the 100 MTPA cement capacity milestone in
April 2025, propelling us closer to our ambitious 140 MTPA target by FY 2027-28. As
India's fastest-growing cement business, we are contributing to its growth by laying a
strong, sustainable foundation for a brighter tomorrow.
