The company said the additional capacity will strengthen its presence across southern, eastern and northern markets, while also improving market reach and logistics efficiency.
Part of Larger Capacity Expansion Plan
The commissioning comes as UltraTech continues its large-scale capacity expansion programme. Its FY27 roadmap had included 15.9 MTPA of planned capacity additions, including the 3.6 MTPA Petnikota project.
