ACIL 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.

ACIL's state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities also meet requirement terms scale, and will also leverage best practices in logistics, distribution and last mile selling. He added that the North Eastern cement market had been buoyant and on a robust growth trajectory for more than last five years, led by buoyancy in sectors like real estate, hydro power, infrastructure and construction.
