UltraTech Cement (Aditya Birla Group) has commissioned Line II of its Bara grinding unit in Uttar Pradesh, India, having cement capacity of 2Mta. Line I was earlier commissioned in January 2020 and is already operating at a capacity utilisation in excess of 80 per cent, says the company.
This additional capacity will help the UltraTech Cement to service the fast-growing cement demand in the central region in the country.
Together with this expansion, during the FY21-22 the company has commissioned 3.2Mta of new cement capacity as planned, taking its total cement manufacturing capacity in India to 114.55Mta.
