The Amethi expansion is part of the Company’s strategy to increase its total cement capacity to 4.30 MTPA. The Plant is spread across 44 acres of area.
“We are optimistic about the growth in demand for cement in India. The set-up of our Amethi unit along with more investment in the coming years will help us unlock fresh opportunities by debottlenecking existing capacities and creating new ones across the country.
