UltraTech Cement Targets 200 MTPA Capacity

UltraTech Cement, India's leading cement manufacturer, is set to achieve a production capacity of 200 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) by the financial year 2026-27, according to Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla. This ambitious target reflects the company's ongoing expansion strategy, aimed at strengthening its leadership position in the Indian cement industry and meeting the rising demand for cement in the country.

The expansion plan involves significant investments in new plants, capacity upgrades, and technological advancements across its existing facilities. UltraTech's current capacity stands at around 137 MTPA, and the company is focused on rapidly scaling up its production capabilities over the next few years. This expansion is expected to be driven by a mix of organic growth through greenfield and brownfield projects, as well as strategic acquisitions that align with the company's long-term objectives.

Kumar Mangalam Birla emphasized that UltraTech's growth strategy is aligned with the robust infrastructure and housing development expected in India. The company's capacity augmentation will cater to the increasing demand for cement driven by government initiatives such as the PM Gati Shakti Master Plan, Smart Cities Mission, and affordable housing schemes. Additionally, the push for urbanization and the development of mega infrastructure projects like highways, airports, and ports are also anticipated to boost cement consumption.

UltraTech Cement?s focus on sustainability and innovation will play a crucial role in its expansion efforts. The company is committed to reducing its carbon footprint by adopting eco-friendly technologies, increasing the use of alternative fuels, and enhancing energy efficiency across its operations. As part of its sustainability agenda, UltraTech plans to increase the share of blended cement in its product portfolio and invest in carbon capture and utilization technologies.

This expansion will further consolidate UltraTech?s position as the largest cement producer in India and one of the leading players globally. The company?s robust supply chain network, strong brand equity, and extensive market reach are expected to support its growth ambitions, allowing it to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the Indian and global markets.
