“As India enters a transformative era of infrastructure and economic development, UltraTech is well-positioned to meet the rising demand for cement and contribute meaningfully to the nation’s journey towards Viksit Bharat 2047.” - Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman, Aditya Birla Group

October 2025 : UltraTech Cement, the Aditya Birla Group flagship, has recently announced a massive fresh capital expenditure (capex) of ₹10,255 crores to significantly boost its production capacity. This strategic investment will add 22.8 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) to its capacity, including that of its subsidiary, India Cements Limited.

The expansion, approved by the company's Board of Directors, will be executed through a mix of brownfield and greenfield projects. Once fully operational, the move is expected to catapult UltraTech's total global cement capacity to a commanding 240.76 mtpa, reinforcing its position as a global cement powerhouse.

Confidence in India's Economic Flywheel - The fresh commitment underscores the company's deep conviction in India's sustained economic growth and ambitious infrastructure agenda.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman, Aditya Birla Group stated, “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 Rs.50,000 crores invested over the past five years, underscoring deep and sustained confidence in the Indian economy and the scale of its infrastructure ambitions. Capital, when deployed strategically, has a catalytic effect. It energises ecosystems, deepens industrial linkages, and creates durable employment. 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 and contribute meaningfully to the nation’s journey towards Viksit Bharat 2047.”

Global Scale and Future Readiness - UltraTech, already ranked as the second-largest cement company globally by capacity and the largest by sales volume (excluding China), is strategically positioning itself to meet the nation's burgeoning demand for housing, roads, and other vital infrastructure. The new capacities are expected to commence commercial production in a phased manner, starting from Financial Year 2028 (FY28), solidifying UltraTech's dominance in the domestic market and cementing its role as a key enabler of India's rapid development.
