By taking advantage of the scope and resources of the Adani Group, we aim to expand more quickly and with greater impact to gain a leadership position in the Cement industry. With the equity infusion by the promoter group in the company, the expansion program will gather pace in the coming time.

While cost pressures have not gone away, our growth plans remain strong".
