UltraTech Cement announced an investment of ₹10,255 crore to expand its cement production capacity by 22.8 mtpa, including that of its subsidiary India Cements Ltd., the company said in a statement on Saturday.
This expansion, approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting, will be executed through a mix of brownfield and greenfield projects.
Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman, Aditya Birla Group said, “India is now a commanding force in the global cement landscape, and UltraTech stands at the helm as its foremost champion.”
“This latest capacity expansion follows more than ₹50,000 crore invested over the past five years, underscoring deep and sustained confidence in the Indian economy and the scale of its infrastructure ambitions,” he said.
“With this investment, we are reinforcing momentum across core sectors and contributing meaningfully to the acceleration of India’s economic flywheel. As India enters a transformative era of infrastructure and economic development, UltraTech is well-positioned to meet the rising demand for cement,” he added.
UltraTech ranks as the second largest cement company globally by capacity and the largest by sales volume, (excluding China).
Commercial production from these new capacities is expected to go fully on stream in a phased manner, starting from FY28 and will increase the company’s cement capacity to 240.76 mtpa globally.
