The Navrattan Group is planning to introduce Green Cement into the Indian market. Also known as sustainable or eco-friendly cement, it is an alternative to traditional Portland cement that significantly reduces carbon emissions and environmental impact associated with concrete production. Unlike conventional cement manufacturing processes, which are energy-intensive and release large amounts of carbon dioxide, Green Cement uses alternative materials and other production techniques to minimise its carbon footprint. The group aims to set new standards of excellence in construction materials.
