UltraTech To Hit 200 MTPA Cement Capacity In FY26

21 Aug 2025 CW Team

UltraTech Cement Ltd. will achieve a cement production capacity of 200 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) in FY26, a year ahead of its original FY27 target, Aditya Birla Group Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla announced at the company’s 25th Annual General Meeting.

“Your company now operates 34 integrated units, 30 grinding units, and nine bulk terminals across India. With a channel partner network of over 145,000, we cover more than 80 per cent of India’s geography,” Mr Birla said.

During FY25, UltraTech added 42.6 MTPA of capacity — 16.3 MTPA through organic expansion and 26.3 MTPA through acquisitions, notably of India Cements and Kesoram Industries. As of March 2025, the company’s consolidated capacity stood at 188.8 MTPA. With nearly 70 per cent of its capital expenditure allocated to growth, UltraTech is firmly on track to cross 200 MTPA in FY26.

“This acceleration places us on an even stronger and more sustained growth trajectory. UltraTech is now well poised to become the largest cement-selling company in the world outside China,” Mr Birla told shareholders.

In FY25, UltraTech also achieved a cumulative 1GW of renewable energy capacity for captive use, becoming one of the first industrial companies in India to reach this milestone.

Highlighting the company’s role in nation building, Mr Birla said:

“We do not merely produce cement. We enable highways that connect cities, homes that nurture families, bridges that accelerate commerce, and infrastructure that powers growth. Our contribution transcends physical construction — it is embedded in a deeper belief in the transformative power of infrastructure to ignite aspirations, elevate lives, and empower communities to thrive.”

He added that the company remains committed to inclusive, sustainable, and enduring growth, aligned with India’s development aspirations.
