The management control of the company was taken over by Swiss cement manufacturer Holcim Group in 2004. ACC operated as a subsidiary of Lafarge Holcim.[6] On 1 September 2006, the name of The Associated Cement Companies Limited was changed to ACC Limited.[7]

On 14 April 2022, Holcim announced that it would exit from the Indian market after 17 years of operations as part of a strategy to focus on core markets and listed its stakes in ACC and Ambuja Cements for sale.[8]

On 15 May 2022, Adani Group acquired Holcim's stake in ACC and Ambuja Cements for US$10.5 billion.[9]
