Adani Cement

Adani Cement is the cement manufacturing division of the Adani Group, one of India's largest industrial conglomerates, controlled by billionaire Gautam Adani and headquartered in Ahmedabad. Following its acquisition of Holcim's Indian subsidiaries ACC and Ambuja Cements in 2022 for approximately $10.5bn, Adani Cement became the second-largest cement producer in India by capacity and one of the largest in Asia. The company operates dozens of plants across India with a combined capacity exceeding 110 million tonnes per annum, serving construction, infrastructure, and real-estate markets. Cement production is one of the world's most carbon-intensive industrial processes, accounting for roughly 8% of global CO2 emissions.

Adani Cement is a paying customer of Gigaton (formerly Carbon Re), a UK company that raised a $26m (£19.3m) Series A on 3 June 2026. Gigaton builds autonomous-control software that optimises cement plant operations in real time to reduce energy consumption, fuel use, and direct CO2 emissions without requiring physical modifications to existing plant infrastructure. Its industrial AI platform connects to plant control systems and uses machine learning to improve combustion efficiency and material blending.

Adani Cement's adoption of Gigaton's software is significant both commercially and as a validation signal. As one of the world's largest and fastest-growing cement producers, Adani's willingness to pay for AI-driven plant optimisation demonstrates that the industrial decarbonisation software market has reached commercial maturity among major producers, not just early-adopter Western operators.
