Shree Cement Pune plant: Commissioning delayed due to Covid-19

The commissioning of Shree Cement’s Pune plant has been delayed due to Covid-19 and is expected to start from September onwards.

Shree Cement expects a rebound to commercial production from September.

Due to restrictions and right of way issues, the completion of a 3 million tonne per annum (mtpa) clinker grinding unit in Patas, Maharashtra, was delayed by a year.

Officials said the 65.7-acre spread plant cost over Rs 600 crore to build and will receive clinker from its plant in Karnataka.

In the fiscal year 2020-21, however, the company began commercial operations of a 3.0 mtpa clinker grinding unit in Athagarh Tehsil, Odisha.

The company has a total capacity of 43 million tonne (mt), with four integrated plants and nine grinding units spread across nine states.

According to sources, the company was able to start the project in Odisha despite the absence of a plant OEM supplier due to disruptions, but the Maharashtra project was delayed.

The company is constructing a brownfield clinkerisation unit with a capacity of up to 12,000 tonne per day (TPD) in the village of Khapradih in Baloda Bazar, Chhattisgarh.

The project is on track for completion in the first half of FY23. The company aims to reach a capacity of 80 mt by 2030.

Shree Cement is positive for the current fiscal year, with GDP growth expected to be in the high single digits for FY22, and the cement industry expected to grow at a healthy rate.
