The company has been marketing around a million tons of cement each year in the state. So far the cement was being moved from the manufacturing facilities in Andhra Pradesh. As the state is developing very fast, Ramco Cements decided to set up its grinding unit in Odisha three years back and in November 2017 the Honorable Chief Minister of Odisha Mr Naveen Patnaik was kind enough to be the Chief Guest for the ground breaking ceremony.
