Ambuja Sees Cement Demand Easing To Around Five Per Cent In FY27

22 Jun 2026 CW Team

Ambuja Cements has said in its latest annual report that cement demand in India is likely to moderate to around five per cent in fiscal year twenty seven, marking a slowdown from the estimated six point five to seven point five per cent growth anticipated for fiscal year twenty six. The company described this as a transition to a more measured pace of expansion after several years of strong momentum in the sector.

It said that underlying demand drivers such as housing, infrastructure development, urbanisation and government capital expenditure remain intact and are expected to sustain cement consumption across regions. The report noted that global geopolitical uncertainties and weather risks, including forecasts of a below normal monsoon, could influence near term demand, while emphasising that the longer term infrastructure story for India continues to provide a solid foundation for the sector.

Industry observers have said that the sector may move towards mid single digit growth rates in fiscal year twenty seven after stronger performances in recent years. The company outlined a calibrated expansion strategy with capacity additions phased to match project pipelines, regional demand patterns and market absorption, seeking to avoid oversupply and pressure on pricing.

Ambuja has crossed the 100 million tonnes per annum capacity milestone (100 mn t per annum) following acquisitions and organic expansion, strengthening its position in the competitive market. The outlook in the report broadly aligns with other market assessments that placed demand at around five per cent in fiscal year twenty five, a recovery to six point five to seven point five per cent in fiscal year twenty six and an easing in fiscal year twenty seven as capacity increases. Executives remain focused on long term demand fundamentals driven by infrastructure and housing.
