This strategic acquisition, valued at an Enterprise Value of Rs 5,185 crore, enhances Ambuja Cement’s market presence underscoring Adani Group’s steadfast commitment to India’s housing and infrastructure development.

Ambuja Cements is engaged in manufacturing and marketing of cement and clinker for both domestic and export markets. It is a material company of Adani Cement and part of the diversified Adani Group.
