UltraTech's Broader Cement Expansion Portfolio
Projects India tracks several ongoing capital projects linked to UltraTech Cement across multiple states. These include an integrated cement plant expansion at Chittaurgarh, Rajasthan, valued at Rs 4,496 crore; a cement grinding unit at Kasrak and Salpur Nawadia, Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, valued at Rs 685 crore; and a cement plant expansion at Mauda, Nagpur, Maharashtra, valued at Rs 275 crore. An integrated cement and clinker plant project at Kalaburagi, Karnataka, and a greenfield integrated cement project expansion at Tonki Village, Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, valued at Rs 55 crore, are also tracked. The commissioning of captive renewable capacity at scale is consistent with UltraTech's active investment across manufacturing infrastructure.
Cement Sector Project Pipeline Across India
Projects India tracks 1,041 live projects in the Cement and Asbestos sub-sector, with nine added in the past 90 days. The pipeline spans every major cement-producing state, with the highest concentrations in Andhra Pradesh (143 projects), Rajasthan (113), Madhya Pradesh (103), Karnataka (81), Gujarat (73) and Uttar Pradesh (61).
By project stage, the sub-sector shows a substantial volume of early-stage work still to move through procurement. Of the 1,041 tracked projects, 448 are under approvals, 138 are at construction started, 81 are on hold, 78 are in planning, and 49 have received approvals but not yet begun construction. Only 207 have reached completion. This means the large majority of tracked projects — more than 700 — remain at stages where suppliers and contractors can still compete for orders.
Recent additions to the tracked pipeline include a Rs 2,000-crore integrated cement and clinker plant by Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Limited at Malkangiri, Odisha, currently under approvals; a Rs 1,661-crore cement grinding unit by The Shyam Sel and Power Limited in Paschim Barddhaman, West Bengal, where construction has started; and a Rs 1,000-crore cement grinding unit by Ambuja Cements Limited in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, currently on hold. A Rs 531-crore limestone and clinker plant project by Feegrade and Company Private Limited in West Singhbhum, Jharkhand, is also tracked, currently on hold.
What this means for suppliers and contractors
The commissioning of a 116.55-MW wind project by UltraTech signals continued capital commitment by India's largest cement producer to its operational energy base. For suppliers of wind turbine components, electrical balance-of-plant equipment and grid interconnection services, UltraTech's active expansion programme — spanning multiple states and several hundred crores in tracked cement projects — represents a recurring procurement opportunity.
More broadly, the stage distribution across the industrial projects sector underlines where near-term work is concentrated. With 448 cement and asbestos projects still under approvals and a further 78 in planning, suppliers who engage early — before construction commencement — stand the best chance of entering bidding processes. Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh collectively account for 359 of the 1,041 tracked projects, making them priority geographies for firms seeking volume. Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh also appear in UltraTech's own tracked expansion projects, reinforcing their significance for equipment and services directed at that promoter specifically.
Contractors already active in Karnataka and Maharashtra, where UltraTech has projects at Kalaburagi and Nagpur respectively, may find the company's procurement cycles align with existing regional presence. Suppliers seeking a broader view of active opportunities can browse all tracked projects across sub-sectors and stages.
