Cementing the Future: Nuvoco's ₹200 Crore Expansion

Nuvoco Vistas Corporation has announced a ₹200 crore investment to expand its cement grinding capacity in eastern India by 4 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), increasing its regional capacity from 19 MTPA to 23 MTPA—a growth of over 20%.

The phased expansion, scheduled through FY27, includes the installation of a new grinding mill at the Arasmeta plant, along with debottlenecking initiatives at its Jojobera, Panagarh, and Odisha units. The move is aligned with Nuvoco’s strategy to premiumise its product portfolio and enhance the share of blended cement, leveraging improved cost efficiencies and strengthened market competitiveness.

“With cement demand in India projected to grow at 7–8% annually, we are well-positioned for long-term growth,” said Jayakumar Krishnaswamy, Managing Director, Nuvoco Vistas Corporation.

In addition to capacity expansion, the company is investing in logistics infrastructure, including a clinker loading system at its Sonadih plant and a new railway siding at its Odisha facility, aimed at boosting operational efficiency and reducing freight costs.
