UltraTech Cement Limited, a Grasim subsidiary has an annual capacity of 17 million tonnes. It manufactures and markets Ordinary Portland Cement, Portland Blast Furnace Slag Cement and Portland Pozzolana Cement.

UltraTech has five integrated plants, five grinding units and three terminals — two in India and one in Sri Lanka. These include an integrated plant and two grinding units of the erstwhile Narmada Cement Company Limited, a subsidiary, which has been amalgamated with the company in May 2006.

UltraTech is the country's largest exporter of cement clinker. The company exports over 2.5 million tonnes per annum, which is about 30 per cent of the country's total exports. The export markets span countries around the Indian Ocean, Africa, Europe and the Middle East.

The cement division of L&T was demerged in 2004 after Grasim made the 30 per cent open offer for equity shares, gaining control over the new company, christened UltraTech. Besides the long term strategic value in the wake of rising demand for cement, with the growth of housing and infrastructure sectors in the country, the acquisition brings significant synergy gains to the parent company.

Ready Mix Concrete is likely to see substantial growth in the coming years. Recognising the opportunities that this business will offer, UltraTech has commenced setting up of Ready Mix Concrete plants at various places in the country.

UltraTech's subsidiaries are: Dakshin Cements Limited and UltraTech Ceylinco (Private) Limited.
