UltraTech Cement, part of the Aditya Birla Group, has announced a capital expenditure of up to ₹100 billion for FY26. The investment will target expanding production capacity, boosting energy efficiency, and enhancing overall operational performance. This move comes as cement demand in India continues to grow, fuelled by infrastructure development and rapid urbanisation.

For FY26, UltraTech expects cement demand — and its own performance — to rise by 6–7%. In FY25, the company expanded its grey cement capacity by 26.3 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) through the acquisitions of India Cements and Kesoram Industries, and aims to add another 28.8 MTPA organically by FY27. As of 30 June 2025, UltraTech’s consolidated capacity stood at 192.26 MTPA.

Remarkably, UltraTech accounted for 55% of the Indian cement sector’s total capacity additions in FY25, contributing 42.6 MTPA. Despite challenges such as delayed infrastructure projects and an extended monsoon season, the company remains confident about growth prospects. It reported revenue exceeding ₹750 billion in FY25, underlining strong market momentum. With these strategic investments and an expanding footprint, UltraTech is solidifying its leadership in the Indian cement industry and gearing up for its next phase of growth.
