ACC (ISIN INE116A01024) was last at INR 1,181 on the NSE on October 1, 2026 at 3:29 p.m. IST, down 1.92 percent from the prior close. The latest corporate milestone is the shareholder vote on the planned combination with Ambuja Cements, which received 95.52 percent approval on September 29, 2026, according to Financial Express.

Merger vote clears a key hurdle

The vote advances the scheme to merge ACC into Ambuja Cements, but the transaction still requires the remaining tribunal and regulatory steps. The exchange ratio is 328 Ambuja shares for every 100 ACC shares, a structure that makes the relative value of the two listed securities central to the investment case, according to Financial Express.

ACC's market value was INR 221.8 billion as of October 1, 2026, while trading volume reached 146,952 shares. The stock's 52-week range was INR 1,166.10 to INR 1,987, placing the last price 40.55 percent below the yearly high.

June quarter shows margin pressure

ACC reported total income of INR 5,861 crore for the June 2026 quarter, compared with INR 6,155.58 crore in June 2025. Profit after tax fell to INR 147 crore from INR 375.38 crore, while the net profit margin declined to 2.51 percent from 6.10 percent, according to The Economic Times.

The operating picture was weaker than the revenue comparison alone suggests. EBIT dropped to INR 225 crore from INR 591.78 crore, and the EBIT margin contracted to 3.84 percent from 9.61 percent in the year-earlier quarter, according to The Economic Times.

ACC stock stays near its yearly low

ACC stock was only INR 14.90 above its 52-week low on October 1, 2026, leaving the market focused on whether earnings recovery can keep pace with the merger process. ACC operates in cement, building materials and ready-mix concrete, with 24 integrated plants, 22 grinding units and 117 or more ready-mix concrete plants listed on its website.
