  • clinkerisation plant of 3.30 Mn.Mt. at Rawan, Chhattisgarh,
  • grinding unit of 1.55 Mn.Mt. at Hotgi, Maharashtra,
  • increase in cement grinding capacity by 0.60 Mn.Mt. at its plant in Gujarat
  • bulk terminal at Cochin, Kerala and
  • wall care putty plant at Katni, Madhya Pradesh

 

With the commissioning of these projects, the cement capacity of the Company has increased from 48.75Mn.Mt to 50.90Mn.Mt.

 

The clinkerisation plant of 3.30 Mn.Mt in Karnataka is expected to go on stream in Q1FY14.

 

The Company is committed to growth and towards this end, the Board at its meeting held today has approved the expansion of capacity at Aditya Cement Works in Rajasthan by 2.9 Mn.Mt including the setting up of two grinding units. This expansion envisages a capital outlay of around Rs.2,000 crores to be funded through a mix of internal accrual and borrowings. The additional facility is expected to be commissioned by March, 2015.

 

With the commissioning of the aforementioned and other projects which are in the pipeline, the Company's cement capacity will rise to 61.45 Mn. Mt.

 

Outlook
Long term cement demand is likely to grow over 8% in line with GDP growth. The value drivers for growth will continue to be housing demand and infrastructure development.
