Nov-02-2026

Ambuja Cements is planning to add around 30 MTPA of cement capacity through new greenfield and brownfield projects across key markets. The expansion will expand its manufacturing presence in the East, West and North, adding to its existing pan-India capacity of 113.5 MTPA across 24 integrated plants and 24 grinding units. The total growth capex program is around Rs 14,500 crore.

The expansion includes new grinding capacities of around 15.5 MTPA in West Cluster, 11.6 MTPA in East Cluster and 2.9 MTPA in North Cluster. It is adding capacities in East Cluster at Rangia (2.9 MTPA), Hojai (2.9 MTPA) in Assam; Godda (2.9 MTPA) in Jharkhand; Muzaffarpur (2.9 MTPA) in Bihar; West Cluster at Mundra (2.9 MTPA) and Hazira (2.9 MTPA) in Gujarat; Raigad (2.9 MTPA), Kalyan (2.9 MTPA), Dahanu (0.7 MTPA) and Amravati (2.9 MTPA) in Maharashtra; and North cluster at Dadri Line 2 (2.9 MTPA) in Uttar Pradesh. The programme also includes new clinker capacity in East cluster at Umrangso (4 MTPA) in Assam, West cluster at Maratha (4 MTPA) and Mundra (2.3 MTPA), strengthening the upstream network required to support the expanded grinding footprint.

The new programme builds on capacity expansion already under execution. During H1 FY27, the Company added 4.6 MTPA through the 1.2 MTPA brownfield expansion at Dahej in Gujarat, the new 2.4 MTPA Salai Banwa Grinding Unit in Uttar Pradesh and a 1.0 MTPA brownfield expansion at Kalamboli in Maharashtra, taking overall cement capacity to 113.5 MTPA. The near-term pipeline will further strengthen this base, with another 3.2 MTPA across Bathinda GU (1.2 MTPA) in Punjab (North cluster), Jodhpur Penna IU (2 MTPA) in Rajasthan, stabilised and expected to ramp up in H2 FY27. In addition, the Warisaliganj GU (2.4 MTPA) in Bihar (East Cluster) will be commissioned in H2 FY27. The company’s total capacity is expected to reach 119 MTPA by end of March 2027.

Ambuja Cements is engaged in manufacturing and marketing of cement and clinker for both domestic and export markets. It is a material company of Adani Cement and part of the diversified Adani Group.
