Industry effect
The acquisition has already started the next wave of
significant movements in the cement industry after
2013-16, which saw many prominent players merging
or leaving the field. As per industry estimates, the
cement capacity in the country is expected to rise to
150-160 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) over the
next five years, while there are more than 25 MTPA of
stressed assets in the country. UltraTech Cement is
adding another 22.6 MTPA capacity through a mix of
brownfield and greenfield expansion plans. The Aditya
Birla Group firm, the country's largest with a current
production capacity of 120 MTPA, had earlier approved
a capital infusion of 12,886 crores 550 for the capacity
additions. Shree Cement, which has a production
capacity of 47.4 MTPA (including overseas), intends to
add another 80 MTPA by 2030. Dalmia Bharat is
planning to expand cement capacity to more than 48
TPA by the end of FY24 PA from the current 35.9 MTPA
through both organic and inorganic modes.
