UltraTech Cement invests Rs 130 bn to add 21.9 MTPA capacity

UltraTech, the cement maker, announced a new investment of Rs 130 billion to increase its production capacity by 21.9 million tonnes per annum in the third phase of growth. This move would bring its total capacity to 182 MTPA upon completion. According to a statement from the company, the board of the Aditya Birla Group flagship firm had sanctioned the third phase of growth, involving an investment of Rs 130 billion to enhance capacity by another 21.9 MTPA through a combination of brownfield and greenfield projects.

The company currently possesses a domestic grey cement capacity of 132.45 MTPA. After the implementation of the third phase of expansion, UltraTech will have a substantial presence across the country: 35.5 MTPA in the south, 40.4 MTPA in the east, 36.2 MTPA in the north, 35.7 MTPA in the central region, and 33.8 MTPA in the west.

This expansion plan involves the establishment of four greenfield and four brownfield plants, in addition to four greenfield bulk terminals. The company anticipated that commercial production from these new capacities would commence gradually from FY26 onwards. Consequently, this development is expected to boost the company's global cement capacity to 187 MTPA.

Commenting on this significant development, Kumar Mangalam Birla, the Chairman of the Aditya Birla Group, remarked that this investment represented UltraTech's ongoing dedication to India's growth narrative. He emphasized that over the past seven years, UltraTech had strategically invested more than Rs 500 billion to support India's rapidly evolving infrastructure landscape. Birla highlighted that their fresh commitment of Rs 130 billion underscored their unwavering belief in India's economic potential. He added that each investment made by UltraTech had not only expanded their reach but also contributed significantly to fulfilling India's requirements for housing, roads, and other essential infrastructure
