Nomura maintained its 'Buy' rating on Ambuja Cements but cut its target price by 6%, from Rs 500 to Rs 470, citing operational challenges and cost pressures. The company announced plans for a new expansion requiring a total capital expenditure of around Rs 14,500 crore. This expansion is expected to add 30 metric tonnes per annum of cement and 10 metric tonnes per annum of clinker.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Nomura noted that Ambuja Cements' EBITDA per tonne continues to trail peers and expressed concerns that accelerating capacity additions appear premature. The brokerage pointed out that while 51% of the new capacity is in the West, 39% is located in the East and Northeast, regions characterized by intense competition.
