Cement maker UltraTech, a flagship firm of the Aditya Birla Group, has announced a significant investment of Rs 13,000 crore for expanding its production capacity. This investment will add 21.9 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to its existing capacity, bringing the total to 182 MTPA upon completion. The company’s board approved the third phase of growth, which includes a mix of brownfield and greenfield projects.
According to a statement from the company, UltraTech plans to set up four greenfield and four brownfield plants, along with four greenfield bulk terminals, to achieve this expansion. The new capacities are expected to begin commercial production in a phased manner starting from the fiscal year 2026. This will significantly boost the company’s cement capacity to 187 MTPA globally.
Aditya Birla Group Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla expressed his excitement about this development, highlighting that this investment demonstrates UltraTech’s commitment to India’s growth story. Over the past seven years, the company has strategically invested over Rs 50,000 crore to support the country’s rapidly changing infrastructure. This fresh commitment of Rs 13,000 crore further reinforces their belief in India’s economic potential and their dedication to meeting the nation’s infrastructure needs.
With this expansion, UltraTech Cement solidifies its position as the third largest cement producer in the world, excluding China. The company currently has a consolidated grey cement capacity of 137.85 MTPA.
