 UltraTech Cement has earmarked Rs 10,000 crore for capital expenditure during 2025-26 (FY26) to push expansion projects both in capacity and renewable energy sources, according to a BSE filing.

“The blueprint for the next phase of growth. It is getting stitched and ready and we will present it to our Board before the end of this calendar or worst case, before the end of this financial year, we will come back with the next phase of organic growth,” said Atul Daga, CFO.

Further, the cement maker has planned to increase the overall share of green energy in its total energy mix to 85 percent by 2030.

Currently, the Company has 691 MW of green energy capacity, which includes 262 MW of WHRS installed capacity and 429 MW of contracted renewable energy. Cumulatively, this translates to about 22% of UltraTech’s current energy requirements.

The company’s consolidated domestic grey cement capacity now stands at 186.86 mtpa. Along with its overseas capacity of 5.4 mtpa, the company’s global cement capacity stands at 192.26 mtpa.
