UltraTech Cement to achieve 200 MTPA capacity by FY26: K.M. Birla 

ltraTech Cement will achieve cement production capacity of 200 MTPA in FY26, a year ahead of the target, Aditya Birla Group Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla said while addressing shareholders at the 25th AGM of UltraTech Cement Ltd. on Tuesday.

“Your company now operates 34 integrated units, 30 grinding units, and 9 bulk terminals in India. With a channel partner network of over 145 thousand, we cover more than 80% of India’s geography,” he said.

Mr. Birla said during FY25 the company added 42.6 MTPA of capacity with 16.3 MTPA through organic expansion, and 26.3 MTPA through acquisitions, notably India Cements and Kesoram Industries.

“With this, the total consolidated capacity as of March 2025 stood at 188.8 MTPA. With nearly 70% of capital expenditure focused on growth, your company is firmly on track to cross 200 MTPA capacity in FY26 — a full year ahead of the original FY27 goal,” Mr. Birla told the shareholders.

“This acceleration places us on an even stronger and more sustained growth trajectory for the years ahead. I am happy to share that UltraTech is now well and truly poised to become the largest cement selling company in the world, outside of China,” the Aditya Birla Group Chairman said.

In FY25, the company achieved a cumulative installed capacity of 1GW of renewable energy for captive use, becoming one of the first companies in India, in the industrial category to do this, he said.

Highlighting the company’s contribution to the nation, he said, “We do not merely produce cement. 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.”

“Our contribution to nation building transcends physical construction – it is embedded in a deeper belief. A belief in the transformative power of infrastructure to ignite aspirations, elevate lives, and empower communities to thrive,” he said.

“We believe what we do enables us to champion growth that is inclusive, sustainable, and enduring. And that’s true nation building in action,” he added.
