This follows the earlier commissioning of 2.7Mta greenfield grinding capacity at the site on 2 April 2024. The total capacity of the plant stands at 3.30Mta.

This expansion will enhance the company’s ability to meet the growing demand for composite cement in the southern region, enhancing its blended cement ratio. 

UltraTech Cement's continued focus on improving the clinker conversion ratio is aligned with its long-term growth strategy, and these strategic investments play a crucial role in achieving operational efficiency and sustainability.

Along with its overseas capacity of 5.4Mta, the company’s global capacity stands at 172.31Mta.
