Adani Cement, the second-largest cement manufacturer in India, is recalibrating its growth strategy by focusing on optimizing its existing production capacities rather than aggressively pursuing its previously set targets for FY28. CEO Vinod Bahety stated that the ambitious goal of expanding capacity to 155 million tonnes may now be deferred to FY30. Currently, the company operates at a production capacity of 109 million tonnes, with plans to ramp up to 120 million tonnes by the end of FY27. The company had entered the cement sector in 2022 with a significant acquisition of Ambuja Cements and ACC, which added approximately 70 million tonnes to its capacity. Bahety emphasized the importance of effectively utilizing existing assets to leverage market opportunities, particularly as cement demand is closely tied to real GDP growth.
