Ambuja Cements shares jump 3.8% as it firms up 30 MTPA expansion plan
Why did Ambuja Cements Ltd shares jump today?
Ambuja Cements Ltd shares jumped 3.8% on Monday, with the stock trading at ₹361.75 as of 12:26 PM. The surge came after the company announced a major expansion plan that is set to significantly boost its cement production capacity in the coming years. Investors reacted positively to the news, driving up demand for the stock during early trading hours.
The company has firmed up its next growth phase with a plan to add around 30 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of new cement capacity across key markets in India. This expansion comes with a total growth capital expenditure program of approximately ₹14,500 crore. The new capacities will be spread across states including Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh — all high-growth regions where demand for cement is expected to remain strong.
With this expansion, Ambuja Cements aims to strengthen its manufacturing network and capture a larger share of the fast-growing cement market. The company already has a current cement capacity of 113.5 MTPA across a pan-India footprint of 24 integrated plants. The addition of 30 MTPA would push its total capacity even higher, reinforcing its position as one of India's leading cement producers and setting the stage for strong revenue growth in the years ahead.
