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.
