Birla Corporation Invests ₹4,335 Crore to Fuel Cement Production Growth

Birla Corporation, the flagship company of the M P Birla Group, has announced a capital expenditure of ₹4,335 crore to expand its cement production capacity through a combination of greenfield and brownfield projects.

The investment, to be undertaken jointly with its wholly-owned subsidiary RCCPL, includes the establishment of three new grinding units and the expansion of an existing integrated manufacturing unit. The Board has approved a 2.8 MTPA greenfield grinding unit in Gaya, Bihar, to be developed in phases and completed by Q4 FY29 at a cost of ₹860 crore.

RCCPL will lead investments of ₹3,475 crore, which cover two greenfield grinding units in Uttar Pradesh (totaling 3.4 MTPA) and the brownfield expansion of a 3.7 MTPA clinker unit in Maihar, Madhya Pradesh.

Chairman Harsh V Lodha stated that the company’s capacity utilization in central and eastern India exceeds 100%, and this expansion will relieve pressure on current infrastructure while supporting growth in these high-demand markets.
