Ambuja Cements has clarified that the company filed a Scheme of Arrangement for merging Penna Cement Industries Limited into Ambuja Cements Limited. The Hon'ble NCLT Ahmedabad Bench heard the matter on March 19, 2026 and pronounced an order sanctioning the Scheme on March 30, 2026. The company states all relevant updates about the merger were disclosed to stock exchanges from December 2024 onwards. The media report dated March 30, 2026 does not contain any new material information as the NCLT order was already disclosed on the same date.
