Rs.35000 Million Cement Grinding Unit Expansion Project in West Bengal

Project summary

Ambuja Cements Limited, one of the leading cement manufacturing companies in India, has announced its plans to expand its cement grinding unit in West Bengal. The proposed project involves increasing the production capacity of the existing unit by 7 million tonnes. The estimated cost of this project is around Rs. 35000 million, making it a significant investment for the company. The expansion project will not only increase the company's production capacity but also help meet the growing demand for cement in the eastern region of the country.
As of February 2022, Ambuja Cements' board has given the green signal for the expansion project and has identified a fresh location in Barh, Bihar, for the greenfield project. The company's decision to choose a new location for this project is based on several factors, including the availability of raw materials, infrastructure facilities, and market demand. The expansion of the cement grinding unit in West Bengal and the establishment of a new unit in Bihar will further strengthen Ambuja Cements' position in the highly competitive cement market in India. The project is expected to create employment opportunities and boost the economy of the region.
