The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Ahmedabad Bench, has directed Ambuja Cements Limited to convene a meeting of its equity shareholders on September 28, 2026, to consider the proposed merger with Orient Cement Limited. The order, received on July 20, 2026, mandates the meeting to be held through video conference or other audio-visual means at 12:30 p.m. IST to approve the Scheme of Amalgamation under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013.

The Scheme involves the amalgamation of Orient Cement Limited, the transferor company, with Ambuja Cements Limited, the transferee company. Shareholders will consider and, if thought fit, approve the proposed scheme with or without modifications. This development follows previous disclosures made by the company on December 22, 2025, and June 4, 2026, regarding the amalgamation process.

The regulatory approval from the NCLT is a critical step in the merger process, enabling the company to seek shareholder consent. The meeting format via video conference ensures compliance with regulatory provisions while facilitating broader shareholder participation. The outcome of this meeting will determine the final approval for the merger between the two entities.

The company has confirmed that a copy of the NCLT order is attached and that all relevant documents will be available on its official website. The merger, once approved, will consolidate the operations of Orient Cement Limited into Ambuja Cements Limited, subject to the fulfillment of all regulatory and statutory requirements.

Ambuja Cements will hold an earnings call on July 28, 2026, to discuss its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The call is scheduled to begin at 16:30 IST and will provide a platform for the management to share the business outlook with investors and analysts.

The disclosure was made under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosures Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company has informed the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, BSE Limited, and Luxembourg Stock Exchange regarding the scheduled interaction.
