Shree Cement unveils ₹7,000 crore investment plans for three cement plants in Andhra Pradesh

The investment proposal was unveiled during the CII Partnership Summit 2026 in Visakhapatnam, where major industrial groups outlined plans to expand their manufacturing operations in Andhra Pradesh.

The proposed investment is expected to strengthen the state's cement manufacturing capacity while creating opportunities for employment, industrial infrastructure development and growth in associated sectors such as logistics, transportation and construction materials.

Kadapa, with its substantial limestone reserves and established cement manufacturing ecosystem, is considered an attractive destination for cement production. Anakapalli offers proximity to the Visakhapatnam industrial corridor and port infrastructure, while Guntur provides access to important construction and infrastructure markets across coastal Andhra Pradesh.

Shree Cement, one of India's leading cement manufacturers, has been expanding its production capacity to meet growing demand from infrastructure development, housing, commercial construction and industrial projects.

The proposed facilities could also support Andhra Pradesh's expanding infrastructure requirements, including highways, industrial corridors, housing developments and urban construction projects.

The announcement comes as the Andhra Pradesh government intensifies efforts to attract large-scale industrial investments, positioning the state as a competitive manufacturing destination through improved infrastructure, industrial policies and investor facilitation.

The ₹7,000 crore proposal represents a significant potential addition to Andhra Pradesh's industrial investment pipeline. Details regarding individual plant capacities, district-wise investment allocations, employment projections and commissioning timelines are yet to be announced.

The proposed projects will be subject to the necessary regulatory approvals, land acquisition and environmental clearances before construction can commence.
