Adani Group to establish a cement factory based on a sustainable solution model, along with its power plant project in Godda, Jharkhand.

With a new power plant of 1,600 MW capacity based on super-critical technology and a cement factory by the Adani Godda, the region is expected to become a huge industrial center. Dubey announced that approval has been given on his part, to establish a cement factory along with a power plant in Godda.
