Ambuja Cements Board has recommended a final dividend of Rs. 2 per equity share (100% on face value of Rs. 2) for FY 2025-26, subject to shareholder approval at the June 26, 2026 AGM. Record date is June 12, 2026, and dividend payment will be on or after July 1, 2026. For FY 2025-26, standalone total income stood at Rs. 25,827.71 crore, with profit after tax of Rs. 3,558.37 crore (including tax write-backs of Rs. 1,250.76 crore from re-assessment of tax positions). EPS for the year is Rs. 14.41. The company also completed acquisitions of Sanghi Industries Limited and Penna Cement Industries Limited through amalgamations effective April 1, 2024 and August 16, 2024 respectively, and now holds 72.66% stake in Orient Cement Limited. Key exceptional items include Rs. 320.87 crore net expense (stamp duty on amalgamations, labour code implementation, etc.) and Rs. 40 crore indemnification claim received. Cost auditors P.M. Nanabhoy & Co. and internal auditor Grant Thornton Bharat LLP were appointed.
The dividend declaration signals consistent shareholder returns with 100% payout on face value. The strong PAT includes significant tax reversals; excluding these, underlying operating performance remains solid with Rs. 3.6K crore profit after tax. The multiple acquisitions and capacity expansion (14 MTPA from Penna including 2 MTPA under construction in Rajasthan) strengthen Ambuja's market position.
