Nuvoco Vistas Unveils Expansion Plans in the East

Nuvoco Vistas Corp, India’s trusted building materials company and the country’s fifth-largest cement player by capacity, has announced significant expansion plans to strengthen its presence in the East. The strategy focuses on sustainable growth, wider market reach, and enhanced competitiveness.

The company will invest approximately Rs 2 billion to increase cement grinding capacity by 4 MMTPA in the East by FY 2026-27. This includes setting up a new mill at the Arasmeta Cement Plant and executing debottlenecking projects at Jojobera, Panagarh, and Odisha plants. The phased expansion will add ~1 MMTPA in Q3 FY 2025-26, ~2 MMTPA by the end of FY 2025-26, and another ~1 MMTPA in FY 2026-27. With these enhancements, Nuvoco’s cement capacity in the East will rise by over 20 per cent, from 19 MMTPA to 23 MMTPA.

In parallel, Nuvoco has completed key projects that strengthen operational efficiency and cost competitiveness. These include a new coal unloading and clinker loading wagon system at the Sonadih Cement Plant, cutting rake handling time by nearly 50 per cent, and a railway siding at the Odisha Cement Plant to enable seamless raw material and cement transport, reducing freight costs. These initiatives will improve capacity utilisation, lower operational costs, and expand Nuvoco’s access to Eastern Madhya Pradesh, Eastern Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, and Odisha markets.

Commenting on the expansion, Jayakumar Krishnaswamy, Managing Director, Nuvoco Vistas Corp, said, “With cement demand in India estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7-8 per cent in FY 2025-26, we are well-placed for a growth trajectory in the long run. Our recent acquisition of Vadraj Cement, coupled with these strategic investments in augmenting our existing facilities, is a testament to our relentless pursuit to continue our leadership position in the East while acquiring higher market share in the West and North Markets.”

He further added, “At Nuvoco, our growth journey is deeply aligned with our commitment to sustainability. With the planned capacity enhancement, we are strategically increasing the share of blended cement which will help us to serve our customers with more sustainable choices. By improving our clinker-to-cement ratios, we expect to reduce CO₂ emissions considerably. This initiative reinforces our vision of building a safer, smarter, and sustainable world with a stronger market presence.”
