Raipur, September 28, 2026: UltraTech Cement Limited has announced that its Kukurdih Cement Works integrated cement manufacturing unit in Chhattisgarh has been meeting 100% of its electricity requirement through green energy every month since April 2026.

Commissioned in 2024, the Kukurdih Cement Works has an installed grey cement capacity of 3.3 million tonnes per annum. The unit has achieved the milestone through a combination of renewable power sourcing and Waste Heat Recovery Systems (WHRS), which together cover its electricity requirement.

UltraTech said nearly a third of its 76 manufacturing units in India have maintained green energy utilisation above 50% of their electricity requirements since April 2026. Five units, including Kukurdih, have recorded green energy utilisation of more than 95%.

The company is also deploying Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) across its manufacturing network to support greater integration of renewable energy. As part of its decarbonisation strategy, UltraTech said it has not invested in new captive thermal power capacity for greenfield projects or brownfield expansions at its integrated units for more than a decade.

As of Q1FY27, UltraTech’s captive green energy capacity stood at 1,897 MW, comprising 1,463 MW of renewable capacity from solar, wind and hybrid sources, along with 434 MW of WHRS capacity.

Under its RE100 commitment, UltraTech aims to increase the share of green power in its total power mix to 85% by 2030 and 100% by 2050.
