Ambuja Cements Limited, a member of Holcim and one of the leading cement companies in India, successfully began the commercial production of clinker and cement at its Marwar Greenfield Plant (Marwar Cement Works) in Nagaur district of Rajasthan.

The trial runs at the new plant were virtually inaugurated by the honourable Chief Minister of Rajasthan Ashok Gehlot on 21st August, 2021.

Ambuja has ambitious growth plans to expand its capacities in India, and the Marwar plant is a step in that direction.
