26 Nov 2025 CW Team

Akshat Seth, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of BirlaNu, said the investment aligns with the company’s long-term growth roadmap while supporting regional employment. The first phase involves an outlay of Rs 1.27 billion to set up a large-scale unit expected to generate nearly 600 direct and indirect jobs. The plant will cater to both domestic and export markets, improving fibre cement board availability for fast-growing construction and infrastructure sectors.

The upcoming facility will incorporate advanced production technologies and efficient process workflows. BirlaNu plans to use fly ash from coal-based thermal power plants as a key raw material, reducing industrial waste and promoting circular-economy practices within the Nellore industrial belt. The strategy aims to streamline raw-material sourcing, increase cost competitiveness and build a resilient supply chain for fibre cement board production.

BirlaNu also intends to scale the Nellore site further in a planned second phase, adding units for PVC pipes, fittings and construction chemicals. This integrated approach will allow the company to supply a broader range of building-material solutions from a single location, enhancing operational efficiency and market responsiveness.

The multi-phase project underscores BirlaNu’s commitment to expanding its manufacturing footprint across India while supporting local economic development through job creation and supply-chain participation. The Nellore facility is expected to become a key contributor to the company’s long-term growth strategy in the building-materials sector.
