Grasim (Vikram Cement) was set up in mid 1980.[5] UltraTech merged the cement business of Indian Rayon and Grasim Cement in 1998.[5][6]

The first unit is of 0.5 million tons per annum (mtpa) and was commissioned in a record time of 18 months and commercial production started immediately afterwards achieving 88% capacity utilization in the very first year of its operation.[7] The second unit was commissioned in 1987 with a capacity of 0.5 mtpa. Capacity of both the units was enhanced to 0.75 mtpa each. Subsequently, one more unit of 1.0 mtpa was commissioned in the year 1991.[7] The plant has three operating line: Line 1, Line 2 and Line 3.[8] Vikram Cement has commissioned Captive Thermal Power Plant (2x23 MW) based on Pet Coke, Bituminous Coal and Lignite.[7]
