Nuvoco Vistas Inaugurates 2 MMTPA Cement Grinding Capacity in Surat, Gujarat
Nuvoco Vistas has inaugurated a 2 MMTPA cement grinding capacity at its Limla Cement Plant in Surat, Gujarat. This expansion, part of the ₹1,800 crore acquisition of Vadraj Cement Limited, involved an investment of ~₹240 crore in refurbishment. The company aims to reach a total cement capacity of 35 MMTPA by FY2028.
The capacity addition is significant and targets high-growth markets, contributing to the company's overall capacity expansion goals. However, it is a refurbishment of an acquired asset rather than a greenfield project, thus a medium impact.
The announcement details a significant capacity addition and strategic market expansion, which is positive for the company's growth prospects.
Nuvoco Vistas Corporation Limited announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Vadraj Cement Limited (VCL), has inaugurated 2 MMTPA of cement grinding capacity at its Limla Cement Plant in Surat, Gujarat. This marks Nuvoco's entry into the Gujarat market and strengthens its presence in Western India. The company acquired VCL in June 2025 for ₹1,800 crore, which included a clinker unit and a grinding unit at Kutch and Surat, respectively, along with limestone reserves and a captive jetty.
The refurbishment of the Limla plant required an investment of approximately ₹240 crore, financed through Inter-Corporate Deposits from the parent company. This capacity addition is expected to provide access to high-growth markets in Gujarat and Maharashtra, while also freeing up capacity from existing Rajasthan plants to serve North Indian markets. The Limla plant will manufacture Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Portland Slag Cement (PSC), Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), and Portland Composite Cement (PCC), including the Nuvoco Duraguard range.
With this new capacity, Nuvoco aims to consolidate its total cement capacity to 35 MMTPA by FY2028. Mr. Jayakumar Krishnaswamy, Managing Director of Nuvoco Vistas Corp. Ltd., stated that Gujarat is a strategically important market and this expansion enhances operational agility and market reach in North and West regions. The company highlighted its ability to unlock value from acquired assets and its project execution capabilities. Nuvoco reported a total income of ₹11,362 crore in FY 2025-26.
