Andhra Cements Limited reported a 61.5% increase in revenue to ₹44,249 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, compared to ₹27,405 crore in the previous year. Despite the top-line growth, the company narrowed its net loss to ₹6,716 crore from ₹15,211 crore in the previous year. The loss before exceptional items and tax stood at ₹15,648 crore, while the basic and diluted earnings per share were reported at (₹7.29) each.

The company’s total expenses rose to ₹60,887 crore from ₹44,979 crore, driven by higher finance costs of ₹9,799 crore and depreciation of ₹8,445 crore. Profit before interest, depreciation and tax turned positive at ₹2,596 crore against a loss of ₹2,176 crore in the prior year. Other income for the year was ₹990 crore.

Financial Highlights

The company’s balance sheet showed total assets of ₹1,42,006 crore and total liabilities of ₹1,33,932 crore as of March 31, 2026. The net current liabilities exceeded current assets by ₹9,521 crore, casting significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management, however, stated that the financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, supported by financial support from its holding company, Sagar Cements Limited.

The Board of Directors approved the audited financial statements on May 13, 2026. M/s B S R and Co., Chartered Accountants, audited the financial statements and issued an unmodified opinion.
