UltraTech Cement Unveils Rs 100 Bn Expansion Plan for FY26

The investment comes amid rising demand for cement, fuelled by accelerated infrastructure development and urbanisation across India. UltraTech is projecting 7 per cent growth in FY26, driven by strong market momentum and policy support.

Strategic Growth: M&A and Organic Expansion
In FY25, the company added 26.3 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of grey cement capacity through the acquisitions of India Cements and Kesoram Industries. It further plans to add 28.8 MTPA organically by FY27, taking total consolidated capacity to 192.26 MTPA as of 30 June 2025.

According to the company, UltraTech alone contributed 55 per cent of the cement sector’s total capacity expansion in FY25, having added 42.6 MTPA in a single year.

Positive Outlook for Cement Demand
Despite temporary slowdowns due to delayed infrastructure spending and an extended monsoon, UltraTech remains optimistic. It expects cement demand to grow 6–7 per cent in FY26, buoyed by government-led infrastructure initiatives and sustained urban expansion.

In FY25, the company posted revenue of over Rs 75,000 crore, reinforcing its market strength and readiness for the next phase of growth.

With this aggressive capex blueprint, UltraTech Cement continues to consolidate its position as India’s leading cement manufacturer and is well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of a growing economy.
