Nuvoco Vistas starts Limla Cement Plant, strengthens footprint in Western India

New Delhi, Nirma Group firm Nuvoco Vistas on Saturday announced the inauguration of a 2 million tonnes per annum (MMTPA) cement grinding capacity at its Limla cement plant in Surat, which will help it strengthen its footprint in Western states.

The Nirma Group firm acquired the Limla plant through the acquisition of Vadraj Cement Limited (VCL) a year ago.

"We hereby inform that today July 11, 2026, Vadraj Cement Ltd (VCL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has inaugurated 2 MMTPA of the Cement grinding capacity at its Limla Cement Plant, Surat, Gujarat," said Nuvoco Vistas in a statement.


Nuvoco Vistas, which aims 35 MTPA capacity by FY 2028, had completed the acquisition of debt-ridden VCL through Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP), for Rs 1,800 crore in June 2025.

VCL's asset base includes a clinker unit and a grinding unit at Kutch and Limla, Surat, respectively.

The Limla Cement Plant is expected to anchor a phased volume ramp-up in Gujarat.

The plant will also enable Nuvoco to serve adjoining markets in Western Maharashtra while releasing much-needed cement capacities previously supplied from the Company's Northern plants exclusively for North India markets, it added.
