Dalmia Cement to Acquire 5.2 MnTPA Capacity

26 May 2026 CW Team

The acquisition covers cement plants located at Rewa in Madhya Pradesh, and Churk, Chunar and Sadwa in Uttar Pradesh. The assets include 5.2 MnTPA cement capacity, 3.3 MnTPA clinker capacity, 99 MW thermal power capacity, railway sidings at Rewa and Chunar, and a common railway siding at Churk. The enterprise value of the transaction is Rs 28.5 billion.

Following completion of the transaction, Dalmia Bharat’s cement capacity will increase to 54.7 MnTPA. Its ongoing expansion projects at Belgaum, Pune and Kadapa are expected to further raise capacity to 66.7 MnTPA by the second or third quarter of FY28. The transaction is expected to be completed within two weeks.

Dalmia Cement had entered into a framework agreement with Jaiprakash Associates in December 2022 for the sale of business assets and related agreements, including a business transfer agreement and cement sale purchase agreement. The agreements were intended to settle disputes between the parties, including those under the long-term clinker supply agreement. However, the transaction could not be completed after Jaiprakash Associates was admitted to insolvency.

Following approval of the Adani Group’s resolution plan for Jaiprakash Associates under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, Dalmia Cement requested that the earlier agreement be considered to settle pending disputes. The company has now executed a fresh Business Transfer Agreement with Jaiprakash Associates and Adani Infra (India) for the cement undertaking.

The acquisition supports Dalmia Bharat’s strategy to become a pan-India cement player and provides faster access to Central markets compared to a greenfield project. The assets also offer expansion potential through debottlenecking and brownfield development.

Puneet Dalmia, Managing Director and CEO, Dalmia Bharat, said the assets are a strong strategic fit and will help the company serve high-potential markets in the Central region. He added that the expansion potential of the assets and their proximity to Dalmia’s captive mines could help create a future capacity hub.
