UltraTech to cross 200 MT capacity in FY26, a year early

UltraTech Cement will cross 200 million tonne production capacity in FY26, a year ahead of the original aim, chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla said on Tuesday.

The country's largest producer of the building material is also targeting becoming the top cement producer in the world outside of China, Birla said at the company's annual general meeting. UltraTech is currently the third-largest in the world outside of China.

UltraTech currently has a production capacity of 192.26 million tonnes for grey cement and 2.7 million tonnes for white cement.


Of this, it added 42.6 million tonnes capacity in fiscal 2025, with 16.3 million tonnes added through organic expansions and 26.3 million tonnes through strategic acquisitions, including India Cements and Kesoram Industries.

"We do not merely produce cement," Birla said in his address to shareholders. "We enable the highways that connect cities and communities, the homes that nurture families, the bridges that accelerate commerce, and the infrastructure that powers growth," he said.

Birla also said that the company's vision is closely aligned with India's aspirations for 2047, which will be the centenary of the nation's independence. "Our efforts converge towards a singular and purposeful goal, to build a strong, self-reliant, prosperous, and globally competitive India," he said.

In fiscal 2025, UltraTech reported net revenue of ₹75,955 crore, and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of ₹13,302 crore. Sales volumes grew more than 14% to 135.83 million tonnes.

India is currently the second-largest producer of cement in the world, with an installed capacity of around 600 million tonnes.
