UltraTech Cement has received Environment Ministry's nod to expand capacity at its Awarpur facility in Maharasthra, which would entail an investment of Rs 248 crore.
The company has proposed to raise production of clinker, a raw material for cement manufacture, to 4.5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) from the existing 3.30 MTPA, and increase cement output to 6 MTPA from 4.48 MTPA.
UltraTech manufactures and markets Ordinary Portland Cement, Portland Blast Furnace Slag Cement and Portland Pozzalana Cement.
