Ambuja Cements said on Monday it would invest ₹14,500 crore ($1.53 billion) to increase its cement capacity to 155 million metric tonnes per annum by fiscal 2030.

Capacity expansion to meet rising demand

India’s cement makers have been expanding capacity in recent years to meet expected growth in infrastructure and housing demand, with companies investing in new plants and grinding units to strengthen their presence across key regional markets.

Ambuja, which currently has cement capacity of 113.5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), said it expects capacity to reach 119 MTPA by March 2027.

Expansion across six States

The expansion includes new capacity across Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, and aims to strengthen the company’s manufacturing footprint across eastern, western and northern India.

The expansion plan comes days after Ambuja reported a 34.7% fall in quarterly net profit, hurt by higher fuel and freight costs.
