This partnership aims to facilitate efficient and sustainable transportation of raw materials and finished products across Shree Cement’s manufacturing units.

According to the agreement, RITES will offer comprehensive services from the initial concept stage through to commissioning, focusing on upgrading, renovating, and establishing new rail connectivity. The company also noted that the agreement can be extended with mutual consent.
