Gautam Adani acquires Ambuja and ACC in a $10.5-billion

Gautam Adani is planning to make a foray into the cement sector. The business magnate will now make cement by taking over Ambuja and ACC Cement. This move is likely to give Adani a stronghold in the Indian cement market.

Adani is known for his business acumen and this move is likely to be a game-changer in the cement sector.

The Ambuja and ACC Cement deal will give Adani a combined market share of 10 percent. This is a significant increase from the current 2 percent market share that Adani holds.

The acquisition will also help Adani reduce his dependence on coal. Cement is a key ingredient in the construction sector and with India’s infrastructure development plans, the demand for cement is set to increase.

The acquisition of Ambuja and ACC Cement will also give Adani a manufacturing base in South India. Currently, most of Adani’s operations are concentrated in North India.

This is a big move by Adani and it is likely to have a significant impact on the cement sector in India.
