Nuvoco Vistas to expand eastern India cement capacity by 4 MMTPA

Nuvoco Vistas Corporation Limited has announced a major expansion of its cement grinding capacity in the Eastern region by 4 MMTPA, bringing total capacity to 35 MMTPA by the end of FY2026-27. This ₹200 crore investment aims to strengthen the company’s presence in the East, with a new grinding mill at Arasmeta Cement Plant and debottlenecking projects at Jojobera, Panagarh, and Odisha Cement Plants. The expansion will unfold in phases, adding approximately 1 MMTPA in Q3 FY2025-26, 2 MMTPA by the end of FY2025-26, and another 1 MMTPA during FY2026-27, increasing Eastern cement capacity from 19 MMTPA to 23 MMTPA.

These initiatives follow the company's acquisition of Vadraj Cement Limited and complement recent infrastructure enhancements, including a new coal unloading and clinker loading wagon system at the Sonadih Cement Plant and a railway siding at the Odisha Cement Plant. These projects are expected to reduce operational costs, improve capacity utilization, and expand market access to Eastern Madhya Pradesh, Eastern Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, and Odisha.

In a related development, Nuvoco Vistas has rescheduled its investor/analyst meeting with Dalal & Broacha from September 1, 2025, to September 3, 2025, at 03:30 PM (IST). The meeting, which will be in-person and one-on-one, will address the company's financial and strategic outlook.
