Amrit Cement targets 5 mn tonne annual production

Amrit Cement India (ACIL), which forayed into the North Eastern market, has set an ambitious target to touch an annual production of 5 million tonne by 2015-16. The company has commissioned a 1 million tonne per annum (MTPA) capacity plant in Jayantia Hills of Meghalaya.

The Kolkata-based company plans to touch the 5 mt mark through capacity additions in North East and adding fresh capacities in Nepal and Bihar for which, company sources informed, ACIL has already undertaken initiatives. The plant in Meghalaya also possesses 10 mw captive power plant to ensure uninterrupted cement production all year round.

It has also introduced superior quality cement bags which are tamper and moisture proof using German technology. It has been designed to overcome any possible cement leakage problems during loading and unloading from one point to another.
