Ambuja Cements Limited (Adani Group) completed acquisition of ~46.66% promoter-group stake in April 2025 (post FY 2024-25 reporting period end of 31 March 2025). The Board of Directors who approved this FY 2024-25 Annual Report on April 13, 2025 (the CK Birla group board) were replaced effective April 22-23, 2025 by an Ambuja/Adani-nominated board. FY 2025-26 BRSR will likely be consolidated under Ambuja Cements / Adani Cement (Orient's 8.5 MTPA cement capacity adds to Adani Cement portfolio reaching 100.3 MTPA per Ambuja AR FY 2024-25 disclosure). For benchmarking purposes, FY 2024-25 Orient Cement BRSR remains a valid standalone observation in this dataset; for FY 2025-26 onwards, Orient may not be a separate observation. KEY DATA QUALITY NOTES: (1) LTIFR table cells appear empty in the text-extracted PDF for both employees and workers — only 'Nil' fatalities are disclosed clearly; the actual LTIFR numeric value needs manual review of the source PDF page (likely the table cell text rendered as image or with whitespace that broke text extraction). (2) Scope 1 emissions disclosed in TWO bases per revised SEBI guidelines: gross (incl CPP) = 3,451,629 tCO2 vs net (excl CPP) = 3,128,207.5 tCO2e — both retained. Note unit-label disclosed as 'Metric tonnes of CO2' for gross and 'Metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent' for net. (3) Scope 3 disclosed as aggregate only (290,990 tCO2e); no category-level breakdown. Large 55% YoY drop from 641,616 tCO2e in FY 2023-24 — unclear methodology basis for the drop; possibly scope/methodology change rather than real reduction. (4) Specific thermal energy (MJ/kg clinker) and specific electrical energy (kWh/t cement) NOT disclosed in standard BRSR template numerics; emissions intensity reported as kg CO2/MT cementitious material = 583 (down from 594 prior year, ~2% reduction). (5) Water FY 2024-25 vs FY 2023-24 categorisation changed mid-period per Telangana State Government rule — surface/groundwater split is NOT directly YoY-comparable; total withdrawal/consumption comparison remains valid. (6) Assurance is LIMITED (not Reasonable) — Orient Cement was not within SEBI Top 250 for FY 2024-25, so BRSR Core reasonable assurance was not statutorily mandatory; Limited assurance obtained voluntarily by TUV India Private Limited under ISAE 3000 (Revised); separate Limited CO2 assurance also obtained. (7) Major financial decline FY 2024-25: revenue from operations ₹2,708.83 cr (-15% YoY from ₹3,185.09 cr); total income ₹2,728.70 cr (-15% from ₹3,200.61 cr); EBITDA ₹321.19 cr vs ₹464.75 cr (-31%); operating profit margin 11.86% vs 14.59% (-19% relative); reflects soft cement demand environment, declining capacity utilisation (~64%, down 8pp), and Jalgaon ramp-up costs. (8) Total workers includes 3,117 contractual workers (87% of total worker headcount); permanent worker base is only 466. Note: 97 female contractual workers vs only 24 female permanent workers — female share of workforce is meaningfully higher when 'other than permanent' workers are included.", "notes_audit_2026_05_27": { "audit_method": "Single-page PDF Read calls; Orient Cement Limited Integrated Annual Report FY 2024-25 (129 pages, 13.7MB); BRSR section printed pp 105-148.
