UltraTech Cement to invest ₹10,255cr in capacity expansion
UltraTech Cement, part of the Aditya Birla Group, just announced a massive ₹10,255 crore plan to ramp up its cement production by 22.8 million tons per year.
This upgrade—mixing both new and existing plants—will see commercial production from these new capacities expected to begin in a phased manner starting from FY28, raising UltraTech's total global capacity to nearly 241 million tons.
UltraTech's big bet on India's growth story
UltraTech isn't just spending big for the sake of it. After investing over ₹50,000 crore in the past five years, this move shows real confidence in India's future—especially as cities grow and infrastructure projects take off.
Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla emphasizes the importance of supporting job creation and building stronger industrial ecosystems.
Balancing old and new for optimal growth
With infrastructure and housing expanding fast, UltraTech's bet is that India will need a lot more cement.
By balancing upgrades to old plants (brownfield) and building new ones (greenfield), the company is positioning itself to fuel the country's economic transformation—one bag of cement at a time.
