BirlaNu announces new fibre cement plant in AP

Vijayawada, Nov 22 (UNI) BirlaNu, a part of the multi-billion-dollar CKA Birla Group and a leading brand in roofs, walls, pipes, construction chemicals, putty and flooring solutions on Saturday announced the establishment of a new Fibre Cement Board Plant in the Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh.
The greenfield project is a key milestone in BirlaNu’s long-term expansion strategy and reflects the company’s confidence in Andhra Pradesh’s strong industrial ecosystem and infrastructure-led growth outlook.
Designed as a state-of-the-art facility built on advanced manufacturing technologies and sustainable production practices, the unit will play a pivotal role in accelerating regional economic development.
Akshat Seth, Managing Director and CEO, BirlaNu, said: “Our new Fibre Cement Board Plant in Nellore marks an important milestone in BirlaNu’s expansion journey. Andhra Pradesh offers a compelling environment for industrial growth, supported by robust infrastructure and a progressive development approach.
This facility will enhance our manufacturing footprint; address rising domestic and global demand for high-quality building materials and create meaningful employment opportunities. It underscores our commitment to responsible, innovation-driven growth.”
In Phase 1, BirlaNu will invest approximately Rs 127 crore to set up a large-scale Fibre Cement Board unit, the first of its kind in Andhra Pradesh, creating nearly 600 direct and indirect employment opportunities for skilled and semi-skilled talent in the region. The plant will meet increasing demand within the state and serve as a strategic base for regional and export markets.
The facility will incorporate fly ash, a by-product from coal-based thermal power plants, as a key raw material reducing industrial waste, lowering landfill needs, and advancing circular-economy practices.
The project is also expected to spur the growth of ancillary and support industries, further strengthening the industrial ecosystem in Nellore and its surrounding districts.
In Phase 2, BirlaNu plans to expand the site with additional units for PVC Pipes & Fittings and Construction Chemicals, deepening the company’s integrated manufacturing capabilities in Andhra Pradesh.
