Commenting on the results, Mr. Ajay Kapur, Whole Time Director & CEO, ACC Limited said: "Higher demand for cement due to a pickup in construction activities and our relentless focus on operational excellence, reduction in fuel and logistics costs by leveraging on synergies with Group's adjacencies, improvement & expansion of our dealer network to serve nearest markets, helped us to clock a robust sequential growth in our top line and margins. With the rise in construction activities across our markets, we see the continuation of the elevated demand and strong volumes in the coming quarters as well.
During the quarter, AFR Consumption volume increased by 33% due to various debottlenecking initiatives and strong focus on cost optimization. We successfully commissioned WHRS at Kymore & Jamul, while Ametha Integrated Unit expansion will be completed by Q2 of FY24. Due to transport unions' unworkable position on the freight rate and distribution model, the Company decided to temporarily suspend operations at its Gaga! plant (Bilaspur) in Himachal Pradesh. The Company is holding constructive talks with all stakeholders, including the State government, to arrive at a mutually acceptable and sustainable solution."
