Nuvoco Vistas Acquisition of Vadraj Cement Gets Green Light
The Mumbai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal has approved Nuvoco Vistas’ acquisition of Vadraj Cement through India’s bankruptcy process. Vadraj Cement, formerly owned by ABG Shipyard, had liabilities totalling $1.1bn. Nuvoco Vistas, part of the Nirma Group, will pay US$209m for the Gujarat-based company, which includes grinding units in Surat and a clinker plant in Kutch. This acquisition boosts Nuvoco’s total cement capacity to approximately 31Mt/yr, positioning it as India’s fifth-largest cement producer. Nuvoco secured the deal through a competitive auction, surpassing bids from JK Cement, JSW Cement, KIFS, RKG Fund and Orissa Metaliks.

India’s Cement Demand to Grow 7.5 per cent in FY 2025–26: CRISIL
India’s cement demand is projected to rise by 6.5–7.5 per cent in FY 2025–26, buoyed by a 10 per cent increase in infrastructure allocations and expectations of a strong monsoon, according to a CRISIL report. In FY 2025, growth was limited to 4.5–5.5 per cent due to election-related delays and a high base effect. Infrastructure—led by roads, railways, and irrigation—remains the biggest demand driver, contributing up to 31 per cent of consumption. Rural housing, expected to account for 32–34 per cent will benefit from increased agricultural income and schemes like PMGSY and MNREGA. Urban housing is also set to recover, aided by interest rate cuts and a 45 per cent budget hike for PMAY–Urban.
