Dalmia Bharat plans pan-Indian expansion to 54Mt/yr in 2024 financial year

12 April 2023

India: Dalmia Bharat plans to expand its footprint in Central, Northern and Western India through capital expenditure investments, in order to reach a pan-India cement capacity of 54Mt/yr by the end of the 2024 financial year on 31 March 2024.

Dalmia Bharat expects growth in Indian cement demand to outstrip national GDP growth in the 2024 financial year. It has a medium-term expansion plan to grow its cement capacity to 92% to 75Mt/yr by the end of the 2027 financial year.
