India's Cement Sector to Invest Rs.1.25Tn in FY25-27

23 Aug 2024 CW Team

India's cement industry is set for a major expansion with an anticipated investment of ?1.25 trillion over the next three fiscal years, from FY25 to FY27. This substantial investment reflects the sector's confidence in sustained growth and the increasing demand for infrastructure development across the country.

The planned investment will be directed towards upgrading production facilities, enhancing efficiency, and expanding capacity to meet the rising consumption driven by both residential and infrastructure projects. Cement manufacturers are focusing on modernising their plants with advanced technology to improve productivity and reduce environmental impact.

The investment surge comes as the government?s infrastructure push and urbanisation trends drive higher demand for cement. Additionally, the sector's efforts to adopt green technologies and improve sustainability are expected to play a significant role in this capital infusion.

Industry experts believe that this strategic investment will position Indian cement manufacturers to better compete in the global market and support the country?s ambitious infrastructure goals. As the sector grows, it will also create job opportunities and stimulate economic activity in related industries.
