Birla Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary RCCPL Private Limited has approved a ₹3,475 crore capacity expansion plan. The project involves setting up a 3.70 MTPA brownfield clinker manufacturing unit at Maihar (Madhya Pradesh) and two greenfield grinding units totalling 3.40 MTPA in Uttar Pradesh (1.4 MTPA in East UP and 2.0 MTPA in West UP). This will raise total capacity from the current 9.81 MTPA to about 16.91 MTPA — roughly a 72% increase. Existing capacity utilisation was 88.8% in FY25, signalling strong demand. The Maihar clinker unit and East UP grinding unit are expected by Q3 FY28, with the West UP unit by Q4 FY29. Funding will come from a mix of debt and internal accruals.
This is a large growth-oriented capex (~₹3,475 Cr, likely above 40% of the company's net worth) which should drive long-term volume and revenue growth, but may pressure near-term returns due to higher depreciation, interest costs, and execution risk. Shareholders should monitor funding mix, debt levels, and timely commissioning.
