UltraTech Cement Q2 Profit Surges 75% to Rs 1,232 Crore; Approves Rs 10,255 Crore Expansion Plan

UltraTech Cement, the flagship cement arm of the Aditya Birla Group, has reported a significant jump in its second-quarter results, reaffirming its strong market leadership in India’s cement industry. The company posted a 75% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 1,232 crore for the quarter ended September 2025, compared to Rs 703 crore during the same period last year.

Revenue also witnessed healthy growth, increasing 20% to Rs 19,607 crore from Rs 16,294 crore in the previous year. The improved performance was driven by higher sales volumes, operational efficiencies, and steady demand from infrastructure and housing sectors across India.

In a major development, UltraTech Cement’s board approved a Rs 10,255 crore investment plan for capacity expansion. The company plans to add 22.8 million tonnes (MT) of cement production capacity annually in a phased manner, starting from the financial year 2028. Once completed, this expansion will further strengthen UltraTech’s position as India’s largest cement producer and one of the leading players globally.

Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman of the Aditya Birla Group, said that India is emerging as a commanding force in the global cement landscape, and UltraTech continues to play a pioneering role. “This latest capacity expansion follows over Rs 50,000 crore invested in the past five years, underscoring our sustained confidence in India’s infrastructure growth and economic potential,” he noted.

He added that strategic capital deployment fuels ecosystem growth, deepens industrial linkages, and creates lasting employment opportunities. With this investment, UltraTech Cement aims to support India’s journey towards becoming a developed economy under the “Viksit Bharat 2047” vision.

As India witnesses strong momentum in construction and infrastructure development, UltraTech Cement remains well-positioned to meet rising cement demand through innovation, efficiency, and expansion.
