New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 24% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings.

Ambuja Cements Limited Announces Investment of INR 6,000 Million in Renewable Power Projects Ambuja Cements Limited has unveiled an audacious goal solidifying its position as a frontrunner in the global arena of sustainable cement production. In a monumental stride towards a greener future, the Company has committed a significant investment of INR 6,000 million in renewable power projects, targeting a capacity of 1,000 MW. This transformative investment encompasses a diverse portfolio of solar and wind power projects strategically positioned across Gujarat and Rajasthan. The lineup includes a 600 MW Solar Power project and 150 MW Wind Power project in Gujarat and a 250 MW Solar Power project in Rajasthan. This will be achieved by Fiscal Year 2026 (200 MW by March'24) in addition to the existing 84 MW of Solar & Wind Power. The investment not only demonstrates commitment to environmental sustainability but also promises compelling economic advantages to Ambuja's planned larger capacity of 140 MPTA. With lower cost of generation from green power, the power cost will come down from INR 1.30 per kWh (20%), which translates into INR 90 PMT of cement for targeted capacity of 140 MTPA by Fiscal Year 2028, accelerating the Company's ESG targets. Additionally, green power will assist in enabling an increased supply of green cement, making it possible for the user industry (inf infrastructure and housing) to go green. Ambuja Cements is also enhancing its Waste Heat Recovery Systems (WHRS) capacity from the current 103 MW to 397 MW over the period of 5 years (134 MW by March'24), which will further reduce the power cost. These initiatives are pivotal part of a broader vision which will help Ambuja achieve the leading share of Green Power amongst its peers, reaching 60% for the planned capacity of 140 MTPA from the current 19%.
