July 2026 : Nuvoco Vistas Corp. Ltd. has officially marked its entry into Gujarat's high-growth market. The building materials giant inaugurated its Limla Cement Plant (LCP) in Surat on Saturday, unveiling a new 2 MMTPA (Million Metric Tonnes Per Annum) grinding capacity.
The milestone comes ahead of schedule, representing the first major breakthrough in Nuvoco's turnaround strategy for Vadraj Cement Limited (VCL). VCL was acquired out of bankruptcy in June 2025 for ₹1,800 crore. The acquisition handed Nuvoco a powerful asset base in the West, including the Limla grinding unit, a clinker facility in Kutch, captive limestone reserves, and a dedicated jetty.
Once VCL’s assets are fully operational, the North and West regions will account for nearly 40% of Nuvoco's manufacturing footprint. This optimization allows Nuvoco to supply Gujarat and Western Maharashtra locally, freeing up its northern plants to serve North India exclusively. The company is now firmly on track to scale its consolidated capacity to 35 MMTPA by FY 2028.
The newly opened plant will roll out Nuvoco's entire premium portfolio, including OPC, PSC, PPC, PCC, and its popular Duraguard Microfibre range.
Celebrating this milestone, Mr. Jayakumar Krishnaswamy, Managing Director, Nuvoco Vistas Corp. Ltd., commented: “The inauguration of the Limla Grinding Unit (Surat) marks a defining milestone in Nuvoco’s growth journey and reinforces our commitment to disciplined, value-accretive expansion. Gujarat is a strategically important market for Nuvoco, offering significant growth opportunities supported by robust infrastructure development, industrial expansion, rapid urbanisation, and sustained demand across the housing and construction sectors. This achievement strengthens our footprint, enhances our operational agility, and expands our ability to serve customers across the North and West market with greater reliability and efficiency.”
He further added: “As part of the Vadraj acquisition, we have successfully refurbished and revived a strategically important asset, bringing it back into operations in a record time through outstanding execution and collaboration across teams. This achievement has demonstrated our ability to unlock value from acquired assets, deliver on our commitments, and continue earning the trust and confidence of our stakeholders. This milestone further reflects the strength of our project execution capabilities and our focus on creating sustainable long-term profitable growth.”
