Andhra Cements Ltd. is a company located in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh. It was incorporated on December 9, 1936, under the Indian Companies Act 1913. The company has experienced several changes in terms of promoters and management over the years. In 1994, the management of the company was transferred from M/s Bennett Coleman Co. Ltd. (BDCL) to M/s Duncan Agro Industries Ltd., also known as Duncan Industries Ltd. (DIL), under the control of Shri G.P. Goenka (Duncan Goenka Group). In 2012, Jaypee Group acquired about 60% shareholding of the company and took over the management control. However, due to financial and operational crises, the cement production activity was stopped and both units were shut down from February 2020 to March 2023. The company's financial creditors filed an insolvency petition with the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) in April 2022. Finally, the NCLT approved the resolution plan submitted by Sagar Cements Limited (SCL) on February 16, 2023. SCL infused Rs. 322.25 crores to acquire 95% shareholding of Andhra Cements Limited. As a result, SCL took over the management control of the company in March 2023. Andhra Cements Limited is now a part of the "Sagar Group" and a subsidiary of Sagar Cements Limited.
