In May 2019, the firm took over Sri Lankan cement player Singha Cement that runs a packing terminal in Colombo as part of its focus on a port-based distribution plan. Before that, in March 2018, it had launched one of the largest port-based cement terminals in India at Krishnapatnam with an automated ship loading facility and packing terminals at Gopalpur, Karaikal and Cochin ports. As part of its port-based distribution plan, the Rs 2,476 crore turnover Penna Cement has additionally taken over a self-discharging cement carrying vessel with a maximum cargo capacity of 25,500 tonnes.
