Nuvoco Vistas Corp has expanded its footprint in Maharashtra with the inauguration of its second Ready-Mix Concrete (RMX) plant in Nagpur. Strategically positioned on Kamptee Road, Nagpur-II enhances the company’s reach in key markets, reinforcing its commitment to delivering high-quality concrete solutions for industrial, commercial, and residential projects.
Located just 27 km from Nuvoco’s existing Nagpur-I Mihan plant, the new facility benefits from excellent connectivity via the Srinagar-Kanyakumari Highway, ensuring seamless access to Nagpur city, Koradi and Bhandara Road. Its proximity to key industrial areas like Panchgaon and Hingna further strengthens raw material supply, boosting operational efficiency.
With a production capacity of 90 Cum/hour, Nagpur-II features a Twin Shaft Mixer capable of producing a diverse range of concrete grades, including Nuvoco’s signature brands like XCON, CONCRETO, ECODURE, ARTISTE, and INSTAMIX.
Commenting on the launch, Prashant Jha, Chief of Ready-Mix Concrete at Nuvoco, said that Nagpur-II has strengthened their presence in Maharashtra, allowing them to meet growing construction demands with improved efficiency, faster deliveries, and enhanced support for large-scale infrastructure and commercial projects.

UltraTech Cement has commissioned 0.6Mt/yr of new cement grinding capacity at its Karur grinding plant in Tamil Nadu. The expansion follows the commissioning of a 2.7Mt/yr greenfield grinding unit at the site in April 2024. The plant’s total capacity is now 3.3Mt/yr. The additional capacity will reportedly help UltraTech to meet the rising demand for composite cement in South India and improve its blended cement ratio. The producer’s domestic grey cement capacity now stands at 167Mt/yr and its global capacity at 172Mt/yr.
