UltraTech Cement, India’s largest cement manufacturer, has announced plans to raise ₹3,000 crore through the issuance of Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) to strengthen its financial flexibility and support its expansion initiatives. The move comes as the company seeks to fund its capital expenditure and reduce debt, positioning itself for sustained growth amid rising demand in the construction sector.
The NCDs, which are set to be offered in multiple tranches, will help UltraTech cement its position as a market leader by enhancing liquidity and providing the financial muscle to pursue strategic investments. The funds raised will be directed towards furthering its capacity expansion projects, improving operational efficiencies, and investing in sustainability initiatives, including green technologies.
This fundraising initiative aligns with UltraTech’s long-term vision of becoming a more agile and resilient player in the global cement market. The company’s strong credit rating and robust financial position are expected to make the NCDs attractive to investors, offering fixed returns over a specified period.
By leveraging these funds, UltraTech aims to continue its growth trajectory while maintaining a healthy balance sheet and preparing for future opportunities in both domestic and international markets. The move also reflects a broader trend in the corporate sector of enhancing liquidity to navigate a dynamic business environment.
