 Notes:

 1)                                    With effect from January 1, 2008 the Company transferred its Ready-Mix Concrete business to its
wholly-owned subsidiary- ACC
                                       Concrete Limited.- for a consideration of Rs.10,000.00 Lakhs. Consequent to the transfer of this
business, the Company has only a
                                       single segment comprising its cement operations. Further, the results for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 2008 are not
                                       strictly comparable with those of the corresponding previous period.
 2)                                      The State of Uttar Pradesh introduced Value Added Tax (VAT) with effect from January 1, 2008 which
resulted into net sales being
                                       lower by Rs. 2,783.18 Lakhs for the quarter, and Rs. 5,539.19 Lakhs for the six months ended June 30,
2008. The Company had made a
                                         representation to State of Uttar Pradesh for continuation of existing sales tax benefit instead of
the deferral scheme under the
                                                                                                                                            
                    new law.
                                       Subsequent to the quarter-end, on July 16, 2008 the State promulgated an Ordinance whereby the
exemption is being restored through
                                       a refund of VAT paid. Further, the detailed rules and procedures for conditions and computation of
the amount of VAT exempted have
                                                    not been prescribed. Accordingly, the income in respect of refund of VAT will be
recognised in the ensuing quarter/s.

 3)                                    Exceptional Item 7 comprises:
                                       (a) Loss of Rs.29.00 Lakhs on divestment of Ready-Mix Concrete business for the six months ended June
30, 2008,
                                       (b) Profit on disposal of land of Rs. 1228.82 Lakhs for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, and
                                       (c) Profit on disposal of the investment in the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, ACC Machinery
Company Ltd. of Rs. 3686.42 Lakhs
                                       for the Six months ended June 30, 2008.
 4)                                    For the year ended December 31, 2007 the Company had recognised an additional depreciation charge
arising from a change in the
                                       rates of depreciation for certain Cement Grinding plants. The depreciation and profit before tax for
the quarter are restated by
                                       Rs.819.67 Lakhs and Rs. 2046.67 Lakhs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to reflect such
depreciation relating to those
                                       period.
 5)                                    Figures for the previous period have been restated / reclassified wherever necessary
                                       to conform to the current period's presentation.
 6)                                    At the beginning of the quarter ended June 30, 2008, there was one investor complaint pending. During
the quarter, thirty one
                                       complaints were received and twenty eight complaints were resolved. Four complaints were pending
disposal as on June 30, 2008.
