Heidelberg Materials plans to significantly expand its cement capacity in India through HeidelbergCement India Ltd. (HCIL). The projects will add to HCIL’s existing capacity of 12.3 Mta in the country.
Construction of a new integrated cement plant with a capacity of 3.0 Mta and a 6000 tpd kiln has already started in Kalaburagi, formerly known as Gulbarga, in Karnataka. The project is scheduled for completion in the first half of 2028.
In parallel, the company plans to develop a new fly ash blending and grinding unit in the Khandwa district of Madhya Pradesh. The capacity and timeline of the project have not yet been disclosed.
According to the company’s regulatory filing, the grinding unit project will involve long-term fly ash sourcing arrangements, while leased land has already been allocated for construction.
