Nuvoco Vistas Announces ₹200 Crore Investment to Boost Cement Production by 4 MTPA.

Nuvoco Vistas Corporation, the cement division of Karsanbhai Patel’s Nirma group, announced it will invest ₹200 crore to boost its cement grinding capacity by 4 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) in eastern India.

The company's expansion strategy involves a new grinding mill at its Arasmeta Cement Plant in Chhattisgarh. This will be complemented by equipment upgrades and process improvements at its Jojobera (Jharkhand), Panagarh (West Bengal), and Odisha cement plants.

The expansion will be rolled out in a phased manner. The first phase, which will add 1 mtpa, is expected to be completed by the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. An additional 2 mtpa will be added by the end of FY26, with the final 1 mtpa to be completed by FY27. According to the company, focusing on internal debottlenecking and upgrades at existing facilities will help limit the overall capital expenditure for the project.
