Aditya Birla Group Launches Ultravolt Wires and Cables Business with ₹1,800 Crore Investment
The Aditya Birla Group has launched Ultravolt, its wires and cables business under UltraTech Cement, with an investment of ₹1,800 crore.

The move aligns with the group's strategy to expand beyond cement into building solutions, targeting growth driven by urbanization, electrification, and digitization. The announcement triggered a decline in shares of existing wires and cables companies amid concerns over increased competition.
