Ambuja Cements Limited on Monday said it has firmed up its next phase of expansion, with new greenfield and brownfield projects planned to add 30 MTPA of cement capacity across key markets with a total growth capex programme of around Rs 14,500 crore.
“Our next phase of expansion is focused on quality of growth and creating a more balanced manufacturing network. We have a vibrant supply chain ecosystem with stronger Brand Equity and share of Premium Cement in these markets. The growth footprint will compliment well with our value-based strategic growth,” Bahety noted.
“As we scale, our focus is on combining market reach with logistics and cost efficiencies so that every capacity addition strengthens the competitiveness of the overall business. The programme will expand its manufacturing network across the high-growth markets in East, West and North, building on its current 113.5 MTPA pan-India cement capacity across 24 integrated plants and 24 grinding units, said the company, which is part of the Adani Portfolio and one of India’s leading building materials solutions providers. During H1 FY27, the company added 4.6 MTPA through the 1.2 MTPA brownfield expansion at Dahej in Gujarat, the new 2.4 MTPA Salai Banwa Grinding Unit in Uttar Pradesh and a 1.0 MTPA brownfield expansion at Kalamboli in Maharashtra, taking overall cement capacity to 113.5 MTPA.
By strengthening the link between clinker and grinding capacity and expanding closer to the high growth potential key markets, we are building greater flexibility into the network,” said Vinod Bahety, CEO – Cement Business, Adani Group.
In addition, the Warisaliganj GU (2.4 MTPA) in Bihar (East Cluster) will be commissioned in H2 FY’27. The company’s total capacity is expected to reach 119 MTPA by the end of March 2027. Since the acquisition, Ambuja has completed 11 capacity projects, adding 16.3 MTPA of cement capacity and 9.0 MTPA of clinker capacity up to September 30, 2026.
