Ambuja Cements reported a significant rise in Q4 FY26 consolidated net profit, with figures ranging from Rs 1,644 crore to Rs 1,857 crore across sources, driven by higher cement sales volumes and operational gains despite cost pressures. Revenue increased between 5.5% and 10% year-on-year, supported by infrastructure demand. The company faced margin pressures from rising fuel and packaging costs and benefited from tax credits. Ambuja declared a Rs 2 per share dividend for FY26, while its CEO noted a soft growth outlook for FY27 due to geopolitical challenges and forecasted below-normal monsoon.
