BirlaNu To Set Up Greenfield Fibre Cement Board Plant in Andhra Pradesh with ₹127 Crore Investment

BirlaNu, a building-materials and home-solutions company, has unveiled plans to establish a greenfield fibre cement board plant in the Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh, as per the news reports. 

The new facility forms part of the company’s broader strategy to strengthen its manufacturing presence across the country while advancing sustainable production initiatives. 

BirlaNu’s Expansion and Employment Potential 

As per the news reports, Akshat Seth, Managing Director and CEO of BirlaNu, said, “Our new fibre cement board plant in Nellore marks an important milestone in BirlaNu's expansion journey. It strengthens our manufacturing footprint and generates meaningful employment.”  

He added that the plant has been designed with advanced technologies and sustainable production methods and will help enhance the supply of high-quality building materials to both domestic and export markets. In the initial phase, BirlaNu will invest around ₹127 crore to set up the large-scale unit. The project is expected to create nearly 600 direct and indirect jobs, boosting economic activity in the region. 

Sustainability Features and Future Expansion Plans 

A key feature of the new plant will be its use of fly ash sourced from nearby coal-based thermal power plants. By incorporating fly ash as a primary input, the facility aims to reduce industrial waste and promote circular-economy practices in Nellore’s industrial corridor. 

The company also noted that the project will continue to evolve beyond the 1st phase. In the 2nd stage, BirlaNu plans to establish additional manufacturing units at the same site for producing PVC pipes, fittings, and construction chemicals strengthening its integrated manufacturing ecosystem.
