  • Investment in alignment with the strategic goal of becoming a PAN India company and achieving 75 MnT capacity by FY28
  • Increases capacity primarily to meet growing demand in Western India along with existing regions

Dalmia Bharat Limited, one of India’s leading cement companies, through its subsidiaries, has announced a strategic investment of approximately Rs 3,520 Crore in the states of Maharashtra and Karnataka. As part of this initiative, the company will establish a 3.6 MnTPA clinker unit and a 3 MnTPA grinding unit at its existing Belgaum plant, Karnataka coupled with a new greenfield split grinding unit with a capacity of 3 MnTPA in Pune, Maharashtra. The capex will be funded through a combination of debt and internal accruals. With this expansion, Dalmia Bharat’s total installed cement capacity will increase to 55.5 MnTPA, after considering the ongoing expansion of 2.9 MnT at Assam and Bihar. These new units are expected to be commissioned by Q4 FY27.

The Belgaum Grinding Unit will cater to the underserved Southern Maharashtra markets while enhancing share in the existing region by improving penetration. On the other hand, Pune Grinding Unit will entirely cater to the untapped Western Maharashtra markets. The initiative is a part of the company’s vision to be a PAN India player and achieve 75 MnTPA capacity by FY28 and 110-130 MnT by 2031.

The increase in our production capacity is primarily to meet the growing infrastructure demand in Western India.” He further added, “We remain committed in realising our goals of capacity expansion, while staying focused on operational excellence and creating long-term value for our stakeholders. The capacity additions will also continue to be in line with Dalmia Bharat’s sustainability-driven approach and its commitment to supporting India’s infrastructure and development goals.”

The Boards of Directors of JSW Cement and its listed subsidiary Shiva Cement have approved a scheme of arrangement for the amalgamation of Shiva Cement with and into JSW Cement. The proposed merger is intended to create a unified cement platform and generate operational, financial and management synergies.

The consolidation will pool the companies’ financial, managerial, technical, distribution and marketing resources. It will also support backward integration through Shiva Cement’s clinker facility, which is expected to reduce reliance on external procurement and improve supply chain efficiency.

The companies said the transaction would provide greater funding flexibility, reduce financing costs and eliminate inter-company guarantees. It is also expected to simplify the corporate structure by reducing administrative duplication, compliance requirements and consolidation efforts, while aligning the financial statements of both entities.

Under the approved share-exchange ratio, JSW Cement will issue five equity shares with a face value of Rs. 10 each for every 41 equity shares with a face value of Rs. 2 each held in Shiva Cement. The issuance will apply to Shiva Cement shareholders other than JSW Cement and will give the subsidiary’s public shareholders direct ownership in a larger listed company.

The scheme remains subject to approvals from the stock exchanges, the Securities and Exchange Board of India, the National Company Law Tribunal, the Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation and other applicable statutory and regulatory authorities. Approval from the companies’ shareholders and creditors may also be required under applicable laws or directions from the tribunal. The transaction is expected to be completed within 12 to 14 months, subject to the timely receipt of these approvals.
