Ultratech Cement Ltd, after its acquisition of Cements de India in December 2024, has outlined a strategic transformation plan with a proposing capital expenditure of ₹ 1.5 billion rupees during the next two years for the cements of India. This investment is aimed at operational updates and a long -term profitability improvement.

Or the total planned disbursement, ₹ 1,000 million rupees is intended for waste heat recovery systems (WHRS) and other margin increase initiatives, with a projected recovery period of less than three years. These initiatives will be implemented through fiscal year 26 and fiscal year 27, and the benefits are expected to begin to materialize in the quarter of January to fiscal year 2017.

Together with the CAPEX Plan of ₹ 1.5 billion rupees, Ultratech is exploring future Brownfield expansion opportunities within the Indian Cement Network.
Improvement programs, brand change
An extensive program for efficiency improvement to boost operational metrics at India Cement facilities is also underway. Although the renewable energy components of the plan are previously online, the updates of WHRS and Cooler will reach its completion for the final quester of the FY27, marking a key milestone in the change. This will be supported by a better use of capacity, operational efficiencies, logistics optimization and reduction of general expenses, with all the key elements of the P&L under strategic revision.
In brand terms, a brand change is expected in phases or cements of India under the ultrathech umbrella at the end of fiscal year 2017. Initially, a hybrid strategy will be used, taking advantage of the strong brand equity of India Cement through toll agreements and a gradual transition. “Since India Cement already has several established brands, brand change will follow a mixing and combination strategy, with a gradual approach planned over time,” said management.
Notable, the brand and update change map is running in parallel with similar programs in Kesoram, another of the recent acquisitions of Ultratech. “The improvement programs in these two entities, which cover a combined capacity of 25 million tons, processed the competition and independently, without affecting the plans to improve the efficiency of Ultratech.
