Anjani Portland Cement has commenced a phased transition of its cement brand from 'Anjani' to 'Chettinad' as part of a brand harmonization initiative by its parent company, Chettinad Cement Corporation Private Limited. The Board of Directors approved the transition on June 11, 2026, to leverage the established brand recall of the Chettinad group. This strategic shift aims to strengthen brand equity under a unified national brand, improve market visibility, and align sales and distribution channels.

The company's subsidiary, M/s Bhavya Cements Private Limited, will also transition its cement brand from 'Bhavya' to 'Chettinad'. The transition is being implemented gradually in line with business requirements and market conditions. Anjani Portland Cement Limited is a subsidiary of Chettinad Cement Corporation Private Limited, which holds 75.00% of the company’s equity share capital.

Strategic Benefits

The brand harmonization exercise is expected to deliver several key benefits:

• Strengthening of brand equity under a unified and well-established national brand
• Improved market visibility and alignment of sales and distribution channels
• Optimization of marketing and operational efficiencies
• Long-term value creation for shareholders and other stakeholders

Corporate and Personnel Changes

As part of the business integration, Mr. A Narayana Rao, Senior Vice President – Marketing of the company, has been transferred to Chettinad Cement Corporation Private Limited via an internal transfer. The company confirmed that this brand harmonization does not alter the legal identity of Anjani Portland Cement Limited as a listed entity. All applicable provisions of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, will continue to be complied with.
