Greece: Titan Cement International, the parent company of Titan Group, has changed its legal name to Titan, following shareholder approval. The ticker symbol TITC remains unchanged on Euronext and the Athens Exchange. The company said that the simplified name reflects a ‘unified, forward-looking identity’ aligned with the group’s global presence, purpose and strategic priorities. The company has also adopted a new domain, www.titanmaterials.com.

Chair of the group executive committee Marcel Cobuz said “Our evolution into a truly diversified building and infrastructure materials company and our ongoing commitment to sustainability and innovation are embodied in this identity update. The new name and web domain presence better communicate our capabilities and ambition, as we shape the future of building materials everywhere we operate.”

Armenia: The government will extend restrictions on cement and clinker imports from Iran and ‘other countries’ for another six months, from 21 July 2025 to 21 January 2026. The measure aims to support local producers, who reportedly face falling competitiveness and reduced production volumes, according to local press.

Armenian cement output declined by 7% year-on-year to 1.05Mt in 2024, despite a domestic capacity of 2.5Mt/yr and market demand of around 1.4–1.5Mt/yr. Imports from Iran rose by 72% year-on-year to 436,000t in 2024, following a 3.5-fold increase in 2023.

The Ministry of Economy said the restrictions ensure sufficient market supply while maintaining fair competition between domestic manufacturers and importers.

India: UltraTech Cement has commissioned its second cement grinding mill at the Maihar unit in Madhya Pradesh, adding 1.8Mt/yr to its domestic production capacity. The first mill at the site began operations in March 2025.

The expansion raises UltraTech’s total grey cement capacity in India to 186.86Mt/yr and 192.26Mt/yr globally. The company said the move forms ‘part of its larger strategy.’
