ACC, Ambuja Cement to invest Rs 7.8 bn for WHRS power plants

Swiss building materials maker LafargeHolcim’s Indian operations, Ambuja Cement and ACC, will invest over Rs.7.8 bn to set up waste heat recovery system (WHRS)-based power plants, which will lead to a reduction of 0.561 mn tonne of carbon footprint annually. The WHRS will be installed at Ambuja Cement plants in Bhatapara (Chhattisgarh), Suli and Rauri (Himachal Pradesh) and Marwar Mundwa (Rajasthan), and at ACC plants in Jamul (Chhattisgarh) and Kymore (Madhya Pradesh). This comes on the heels of LafargeHolcim signing the Net
