Mumbai, India – Industrial conglomerate Adani Group is reportedly planning to invest $3 billion to acquire significant stakes in major cement companies in India. Market sources have indicated that the group is targeting large cement manufacturers with production capacities exceeding 10 million tonnes per annum.

“Adani is looking at a war chest of $3 billion to make these acquisitions,” said an anonymous industry source familiar with the matter. “The group is looking for cement companies with good market share and strong balance sheets.”

The Adani Group’s foray into the cement industry aligns with its ambitious expansion strategy in essential sectors. The group, led by billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani, has already made significant investments in ports, logistics, energy, and mining.

“Cement is a key infrastructure material and has a strong demand in India’s growing economy,” said an Adani Group executive. “Our entry into this sector will allow us to tap into this growing market and contribute to the nation’s infrastructure development.”

Industry analysts believe that Adani’s entry into the cement market could reshape the competitive landscape. The group’s financial strength and experience in large-scale acquisitions will make it a formidable player.

“Adani’s entry will definitely shake up the cement industry,” said a cement industry analyst. “It will force existing players to consolidate and explore new growth opportunities.”

Sources indicate that Adani Group is in talks with several cement companies and is expected to announce its first acquisition in the coming months. The group’s $3 billion investment plan is expected to be executed over the next two to three years.
