UltraTech Cement has commissioned 8.7 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of new cement grinding capacity across three locations: a 2.7 mtpa unit in Shahjahanpur (Uttar Pradesh), a 3.0 mtpa unit in Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh), and a 3.0 mtpa unit in Patratu (Jharkhand). With this expansion, the company's total domestic grey cement manufacturing capacity has reached 200.1 mtpa. Combined with its overseas capacity of 5.4 mtpa, UltraTech's global cement capacity now stands at 205.5 mtpa. The company claims to be the world's largest cement manufacturer by sales volume and the largest single-country cement maker globally (excluding China).
This capacity addition strengthens UltraTech's market leadership position in India's cement sector and should support future revenue growth. The stock is likely to react positively as the expansion demonstrates execution capability and increases operational scale.
