UltraTech's Strategic Push Nears 200 MTPA Milestone by FY26

UltraTech Cement, the flagship cement company of the Aditya Birla Group, is poised to achieve a 200 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) production capacity by the end of FY26, advancing its original target set for FY27.

During FY25, the company added 42.6 MTPA of capacity—16.3 MTPA through organic expansion and 26.3 MTPA via strategic acquisitions of India Cements and Kesoram Industries—bringing its total consolidated capacity to 188.8 MTPA as of March 2025.

Addressing shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla said, “The company is firmly on track to cross 200 MTPA in FY26, well ahead of schedule,” noting that nearly 70% of the planned capex has already been completed.

UltraTech now operates a nationwide network comprising 34 integrated manufacturing units, 30 grinding units, and nine bulk terminals, reaching over 80% of India’s geography through a distribution network of 1.45 lakh channel partners.

In line with its sustainability goals, UltraTech also achieved 1 GW of renewable energy capacity for captive use during FY25, meeting 46% of its total power requirements from green sources.
