Key topics covered in the conversation include:

What is UltraTech’s ambition? 

UltraTech is working to build a low-carbon future for the cement industry by making sustainability part of every business decision. The company is expanding the use of rail and coastal shipping, introducing cleaner fuels such as LNG, CNG, and electric vehicles, and investing in infrastructure that supports more efficient bulk transport. These efforts align with UltraTech’s goal to reduce its carbon footprint while improving logistics performance and reliability. 

What does this look like in practice? 

Rajeev explains how UltraTech’s multimodal approach is changing the way cement moves across India. The company is developing new coastal and bulk terminals, strengthening partnerships with transport providers, and placing a strong focus on training. In one pilot project, driver training improved EV performance by around 20 percent, showing how knowledge and skill can directly influence real-world results. 

Why does this matter? 

UltraTech’s progress highlights how collaboration, education, and steady investment can make logistics more sustainable. By working with partners and customers who share the same vision, the company is helping to build a transport network that supports both environmental and business goals.
