The South India Cement Manufacturers' Association (SICMA) has urged the Centre to provide telescopic railway freight service to facilitate the movement of cement from surplus states to deficit regions. South India has 180 mtpa capacity, which accounts for 40 per cent of India's cement production and 35-40 per cent of limestone was also found in the southern part of India.SICMA said that in few years commodities would be fewer in the North, East and Central India while a huge surplus in South India. The association requested the government to facilitate movement from the surplus southern states to deficit regions through telescopic railway freight service.
