  • Built with an investment of around Rs 700 cr, the plant is one of the largest cement grinding plant in West Bengal.

Kolkata, 23rd March 2017: Emami Cement Ltd, part of the Rs 50,000 cr diversified Emami Group of Companies commissions its 2.0 MTPA Cement Grinding plant at WBIDC Panagarh Industrial Park in Burdwan district of West Bengal. The completion of the project has been done in record time of 13 months.

Developed on a land area of around 65 acres, the Panagarh unit is one of the largest greenfield cement grinding units in the State. With an investment of around Rs 700 crs, the Panagarh unit of Emami Cement is expected to generate direct and indirect employment of more than 500 people.

The Cement grinding unit at Panagarh is a part of a 5.5 MTPA integrated cement unit comprising an operational facility of a Central Clinkerization Plant and a grinding unit at Risda in Balodabazar District of Chattisgarh. Another grinding unit with a capacity 1.8 MTPA is coming up in Odisha.  Total investment for the project is around Rs.3500 cr. The clinker for the Panagarh plant is being sourced from the Company’s captive limestone mines in Chhattisgarh.

The Panagarh Cement Grinding plant is a state-of-the art fully automated unit designed and built on zero discharge concepts in association with international technology partners FL Smidth (Denmark) & GEBR Pfieffer (Germany). With world class monitoring system, hi-tech laboratory for quality management and high capacity equipment with optimum efficiency, the Panagarh plant of Emami Cement has the distinction of being the only cement unit in West Bengal to have installed the single largest vertical roller mill, well equipped to produce premium quality cement offering better durability and strength, with a capacity to produce 325 tons of cement per hour/around 7000 tons of cement per day.

The Panagarh unit will produce the complete range of OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement), PPC (Portland Pozzolana Cement) and PSC (Portland Slag Cement) variants of cement under the “Emami Double Bull” brand name.

Speaking on the initiation of production in the Panagrah plant, Mr. Aditya Vardhan Agarwal, Director, Emami Group. said, “We feel proud to see our cement investment in West Bengal being completed in a record time of 13 months enabling us to value add in the industrial drive of the State. We feel that this sector has strong entry barriers and the individual household consumption rate is very high at around 70%, thus offering us a lot of potential to grow. We are hopeful to become a 15-20 MTPA player within the next 3-5 years.”

“The Panagarh plant would be producing all variants of premium quality cement under our brand name Emami Double Bull. The plant would be catering primarily the customers from Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand and other markets of East India.”, added Mr. Vivek Chawla, CEO & Whole-time Director, Emami Cement Ltd.

Mr. Manish Goenka, Director, Emami Group added – “To create top-of-the-mind recall for our brand ‘Emami Double Bull’, we have developed ‘closest to customer’ marketing strategy with extensive focus on rural & semi-urban markets.  We would also be engaging with influencers such as masons & contractors through one-to-one contacts with various schemes, aimed at adding value.”
