UltraTech Adds 1.8 Million Tonne Mill at Maihar Plant

UltraTech Cement Ltd, India’s largest cement maker, has commissioned its second cement grinding mill at the Maihar complex in Madhya Pradesh, adding 1.8 million tonnes per annum to production. The company said the start up aligns with its continuing expansion programme announced earlier this year.

The first Maihar mill came on stream in March 2025. With the new line, UltraTech’s domestic grey cement capacity rises to 186.86 million tonnes per annum (mtpa); including overseas operations, total capacity reaches 192.26 mtpa.

Financially, UltraTech recorded EBITDA of about Rs 46.18 billion in the quarter ended March, up 12.6 per cent from roughly Rs 41.14 billion in the preceding quarter. The EBITDA margin, however, eased by twenty basis points year on year to 20 per cent from 20.2 per cent.

Part of the Aditya Birla Group, UltraTech supplies cement for residential, commercial and infrastructure projects. Its portfolio spans ready mix concrete, high performance cements and other specialised products. The firm continues to invest in energy efficient technology and low carbon processes to meet its sustainability goals across more than twenty countries.
