Prayagraj to house a major cement manufacturing facility

Prayagraj will become a major centre for the manufacture of cement. According to informed officials, the area, which already has two cement manufacturing factories, is about to gain three more. The property has been identified for the three cement plants to be built on by three different private companies in the Shankragarh region.

The district currently operates two such plants. This includes a 6.6 MTPA cement blending facility owned by the Jaypee Group in Sadwa and a 2 MTPA plant owned by Ultra Tech Cement in Bara. But now, JK Cement Ltd, one of India's top producers of grey cement and one of the top producers of white cement globally, along with KJS cement and Eco Cement Ltd, have begun the process of establishing plants in the Trans-Yamuna area of Prayagraj, taking advantage of the state government's push to encourage investments in Uttar Pradesh.

“With the corporation, a Memorandum of Understanding has been inked. With an expenditure of 4 billion, the company would build a 2.50 MTPA clinker grinding mill in the Bara region. A top official with the Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority stated that the company was already in the process of buying land (UPSIDA). According to him, all assistance is being provided to businesses so they can invest in the area in line with state government plans.

Similar to KJS Cement, Eco Cement Ltd has started the process of building a 4 MTPA clinker grinding facility at Lakhanpur in Bara on 25.829 hectares of land. KJS Cement has also started the process of building a 2 MTPA plant in Meja.
