UltraTech Cement to cross 200 mtpa capacity in FY26

UltraTech Cement will cross the 200 million tons per annum (mtpa) capacity by 2025-26 (FY26), a year ahead of the targeted FY27, according to a BSE filing.

The cement maker has added 42.6 mtpa of capacity during the year, with 16.3 mtpa through organic expansion, and 26.3 mtpa through strategic acquisitions, notably India Cements and Kesoram Industries. With this, the total consolidated capacity as of March 2025 stood at 188.8 mtpa.

With nearly 70 percent of capital expenditure focused on growth, the company is firmly on track to cross 200 mtpa capacity in FY26.

“This acceleration places us on an even stronger 4 and more sustained growth trajectory for the years ahead. I am happy to share that UltraTech is now well and truly poised to become the largest cement selling company in the world, outside of China,” said Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman, Aditya Birla Group.

At present, Ultra Tech operates 34 integrated units, 30 grinding units, and 9 bulk

terminals in India. With a channel partner network of over 145,000, the cement maker covers more than 80 percent of India’s geography.

“This scale and presence uniquely position us to serve the country’s growing demand across urban centres and rural landscapes, from highways and metro projects to housing, industrial zones, and last-mile rural roads,” the Chairman added.
