Ambuja Cement, part of the Adani Group, has added an additional 6 million tonnes in capacity with the acquisition of Sanghi Industries units in Kutch, marking another chapter in the ongoing consolidation of the Indian cement industry.
The deal also brings Adani’s cement business another step closer to Ultratech, the country’s largest cement maker, as both vie for the biggest company crown by the end of the decade. And finally, it marks the return of Adani to the dealmaking table post the Hindenburg report controversy that saw the group’s valuation plunge by over $100 billon.
