The three new cement grinding units, which are located in Shahjahanpur (Uttar Pradesh), Patratu (Jharkhand), and Vizag (Andhra Pradesh), have been strategically positioned to strengthen regional supply, serving North Indias booming construction corridor, the industrial heartland of Jharkhand, and the rapidly urbanising coastal belt of Andhra Pradesh.
With the commissioning of these units, the companys installed cement manufacturing capacity in India has risen to 200.1 MTPA.
Alongwith its overseas capacity of 5.4 mtpa, the UltraTechs global capacity stands at 205.5 MTPA.
