Following the acquisition, Adani added Sanghi Industries (Gujarat), Penna Cement (South India), and Orient Cement (South India) to further expand capacity \u2014 with the combined entity targeting 155 MTPA by FY2028 to challenge UltraTech&#8217;s 133 MTPA leadership.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_cement_brands_does_Ambuja_operate\"><\/span><strong>What cement brands does Ambuja operate?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Ambuja Cements operates: Ambuja brand (premium OPC and PPC \u2014 strong in West India and North India), ACC brand (established nationally \u2014 one of India&#8217;s oldest cement brands), Sanghi Industries brand (Gujarat), Penna Cement brand (South India speciality white and grey cement), and Orient Cement brand (South India, Telangana).
