UltraTech Cement was trading 2% higher at Rs 4,236 on the BSE after the company said its board approved the setting up of a 3.5 mtpa integrated cement plant at Pali, Rajasthan.
The commercial production from the plant is expected to commence by June 2020, UltraTech Cement said in a press release.
The plant is being set up in one of the fastest- growing markets in the country and the highest cement-consuming State in the North zone. The plant will cater to the Western Rajasthan market, where the firm does not have a significant presence, it added.
With this expansion, the company will have a foot print across the country with 50 plant locations, along with 103 ready-mix concrete plants.
