UltraTech Cements is one of the largest cement producers in the world and the leading cement producer in India.
The company has a cement production capacity of 121mn tonnes in India and is expected to increase this to 159 million tonnes by the end of the financial year 2025. In the Gulf region, UltraTech has manufacturing facilities in the UAE and Bahrain.
