Ambuja Cements reported unaudited standalone results for September 2026. Revenue rose 10% to Rs 6,113 crore, but profit after tax fell to Rs 114 crore from Rs 1,158 crore; prior period had a Rs 1,180 crore tax write-back. Six-month profit after tax was Rs 618 crore and operating cash flow was negative Rs 2,352 crore. Rs 14 crore severance cost was exceptional. Prior figures were restated after amalgamations. It approved 26% of SWE Renewables.
Profit and cash flow weakened sharply, likely pressuring sentiment. Higher borrowings add funding risk, while revenue growth offers support.
