The buyout, entirely funded by internal accruals, brings ACC's ownership of ACCPL to 100%, with the total enterprise value of the acquisition at Rs 775 crore, including Rs 35 crore in cash and equivalent.

The acquisition supports ACC's growth strategy and commitment to value creation for stakeholders, according to Ajay Kapur, CEO of ACC Ltd.

ACC's total cement production capacity increases to 38.55 MTPA with this acquisition, and combined with Ambuja, the Adani Group's overall cement capacity rises to 77.40 MTPA.
