Birla Corporation is planning to scale up its cement capacity to 25 million tonne per annum (mtpa) by 2025 with a total investment of around Rs 5,000 crore. The existing cement production capacity of 15.5 mtpa will be expanded to 25 mtpa between its own factories and those acquired from Reliance Cement.
The company would initially invest around Rs 2,450 crore for increasing its present capacity to 19.5 mtpa in the first phase of expansion. This expansion is expected to be completed by April 2021. Another Rs 250 crore will be spent on increasing the grinding capacity from 2.4 mtpa to 3.6 mtpa at its plant near Lucknow.
Birla Corporation operates in four divisions namely cement, jute, vinoleum and auto trim division.
