Ultratech Cement Expands Grinding Capacity by 0.6 MTPA in Tamil Nadu

UltraTech Cement, India’s largest manufacturer of grey cement, Ready-Mix Concrete (RMC), and white cement, continues to strengthen its market presence with strategic capacity expansions.

Commission of 0.6 MTPA Capacity

The company has successfully commissioned an additional 0.6 MTPA slag-based grinding capacity at its existing facility in Karur, Tamil Nadu. This follows the earlier commissioning of a 2.7 MTPA greenfield grinding unit at the same location on April 2, 2024, bringing the plant’s total capacity to an impressive 3.30 MTPA.

This expansion will significantly enhance UltraTech’s ability to cater to the growing demand for composite cement in the southern region while optimising its blended cement ratio. The company remains steadfast in its commitment to improving clinker conversion efficiency, a key pillar of its long-term growth strategy. These strategic investments underscore UltraTech’s pursuit of operational excellence, sustainability, and enhanced market competitiveness.

Following this expansion, UltraTech Cement’s total domestic grey cement capacity now stands at 166.91 MTPA. Including its overseas operations of 5.4 MTPA, the company’s global cement capacity has reached an outstanding 172.31 MTPA, solidifying its leadership in the cement industry.
