New Delhi: Ambuja Cements has acknowledged a delay in the execution of expansion projects and said it is keeping its capital expenditure (capex) in FY27 "moderate" in the range of Rs 6,000-6,500 crore as against Rs 7,500 crore last year as it focuses on completion rather than taking on new ones.
Ambuja Cement Director Karan Adani, while replying to a query in a post-earnings investor call, admitted that execution in the cement business has fallen short of the group's standards due to contractor issues, a lack of an execution team, and incomplete engineering work.
