Ambuja Cements Strengthens Capacity with 2.4 MTPA Brownfield Expansion in Rajasthan

Ambuja Cements has taken another decisive step in strengthening its manufacturing base by commissioning a 2.4 million tonnes per annum brownfield expansion at its Marwar Mundwa cement grinding unit in Rajasthan. This development underlines the company’s long-term growth strategy in India’s fast-evolving cement market amid rising infrastructure and housing demand.

The newly commissioned capacity lifts Ambuja’s consolidated cement capacity to 108.85 million tonnes per annum, placing it among the largest cement producers in the country. The expansion is part of the company’s broader plan to scale up operations while improving efficiency across its manufacturing network over the coming years ahead.

Located in western Rajasthan, the Marwar Mundwa facility plays a strategic role in servicing high-demand markets across western and northern India. The brownfield expansion allows the company to leverage existing infrastructure, optimise logistics and improve turnaround times while keeping capital costs under control, according to industry analysts tracking the sector.

Ambuja Cements said the additional grinding capacity will enhance supply reliability, support regional dealers and help the company respond faster to demand fluctuations across core markets. The project also aligns with the company’s focus on operational excellence, sustainability and disciplined capital allocation as competition intensifies in the domestic cement industry.

India’s cement sector continues to benefit from sustained public spending on infrastructure, highways, railways, ports and urban development alongside steady growth in housing and real estate. Industry estimates suggest cement demand will remain resilient over the medium term, driven by government-led capex and private sector investment cycles gaining momentum.

Against this backdrop, Ambuja’s capacity addition at Marwar Mundwa is expected to strengthen its market presence, improve cost competitiveness and support higher volumes in coming quarters. The company has been steadily expanding its footprint through a mix of organic and inorganic initiatives while focusing on margins and returns on capital.With the latest commissioning, Ambuja Cements continues to reinforce its position as a key player in India’s cement industry. The company’s focus on capacity expansion, efficiency and regional strength positions it well to capitalise on emerging opportunities as construction activity accelerates across multiple segments of the economy going forward sustainably.
