Aditya Birla Group Launches Ultravolt Wires and Cables Business Amid Strategic Expansion Aditya Birla Group announced on 3 September 2026 the launch of its wires and cables business, branded as Ultravolt, marking the group’s fourth new business venture in three years. The initiative, backed by an investment of Rs. 1,800 crore, positions Ultravolt as the second-largest player in the wires segment by capacity. The business, housed under UltraTech Cement Limited, aims to establish a scaled national brand and become one of the top two players in the industry within five years. The entry into the wires and cables market aligns with UltraTech’s broader Building Solutions strategy, expanding its involvement in the construction value chain beyond grey cement, ready-mix concrete, building products, and white cement. This move enables the company to deepen its participation in emerging opportunities related to home building, infrastructure development, and electrification. Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman of Aditya Birla Group, emphasized the growing importance of wires and cables in India’s economic transformation. He highlighted the intersection of urbanization, electrification, and digitization as key drivers for the sector’s growth. Noting the demand for over 100 million new homes in the next decade, expanding energy infrastructure, and the rise of data centers, Birla underscored the group’s focus on leveraging its expertise in product development and adjacent ecosystems. He also reiterated the group’s commitment to innovation, stating that successful new business creation has become a core part of its DNA.
