| Lafarge to build a new cement plant in India Lafarge announces its decision to build a large new cement plant at Alsindi in the attractive Northern Indian market, following the approval granted by the state government of Himachal Pradesh. The plant, expected to be completed in 2010, will be designed to produce 3 million tons of cement per year, representing a total investment of approximately 160 million euros. With this greenfield plant, Lafarge will enter a new fast-growing regional market in India and significantly increase its cement capacity from 5.5 million to 8.5 million tons. Lafarge currently has three cement plants in India: two plants in the state of Chhattisgarh and a grinding station in Jharkhand. Lafarge is also present in India through its roofing business, with a clay tile plant in Calicut (Kerala) and a concrete tile plant in Bangalore (Kamatala). write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
