UltraTech Cement Adds 1.8 MTPA Capacity with New Maihar Mill, Total Now at 192 MTPA

Augmenting its colossal grey cement capacity, but almost 1.8 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of its domestic grey cement brings to focus UltraTech Cement Ltd, which has commissioned yet another grinding mill at its Maihar facility in Madhya Pradesh-the second one in this facility. This is yet another significant step in this aggressive expansion drive of the mega company.

Compounded by this latest addition, the total domestic grey cement capacity for UltraTech stands at about 186.86 MTPA, thus propping the aggregate global capacity with operations overseas to a whopping 192.26 MTPA, making it one of the largest manufacturers of cement in the world.

In a notification to investors, it was mentioned, “We are glad to inform you about the commissioning of the second cement grinding unit at Maihar as per the ongoing capacity expansion program.” The first grinding mill at the Maihar plant was commissioned in March 2025.

The announcement comes riding a great wave of financial performance. For the January-March quarter, UltraTech totaled ₹2,482 crore in net profit, an inspiring 10% year-on-year growth over the last net profit of ₹2,258 crore. Although it was slightly below the expected ₹2,500 crore by CNBC-TV18, the figures reflect an uninterrupted trend.

Revenue grew 13% over the same quarter last fiscal year to ₹23,063 crore as compared to ₹20,419 crore, slightly missing the ₹23,505 crore expected by analysts. Whereas EBITDA growth stood at 12.6%, with ₹4,618 crore barely below ₹4,114 crore of the previous December quarter. Nevertheless, EBITDA margins managed to slide down by a modest 20 basis points to 20% from 20.2% the previous year.

UltraTech Cement is perfectly in sync with what investors expect at the end of the day and closed 1.80% higher at ₹11,944.80, up ₹211.60 on the BSE.

In this manner, the capacity addition fortifies even further what it is already for UltraTech in a burgeoning Indian infrastructure and construction space, thus cementing it further in line with the strategic roadmap of the company towards increasing and increasing cement supply to strategic areas across regional markets.
