Ramco Cements upgrades grinding capacity by almost one million tonnes

Ramco Cements strengthens its market presence with strategic renovations and enhanced production capacities by adding 0.9 MTPA to its grinding capacity.

Ramco Cements is strengthening its overall operational strength by increasing its cement grinding capacity by about one million tonnes per annum (MTPA) through strategic renovations at two important sites. The well-known cement industry player from Tamil Nadu has effectively expanded the grinding capacity at both its Valapady Grinding Unit in Salem District, Tamil Nadu, and its Kalavatala Plant in Andhra Pradesh. With this expansion, the company’s total capacity for grinding cement is increased to 24.04 MTPA. It represents a major advancement in its growth trajectory.

Through the process of debottlenecking, the grinding capacity of the Kalavatala Plant increased from 1.5 MTPA to 2 MTPA. After comparable debottlenecking initiatives, the Valapady Grinding Unit’s capacity increased from 1.6 MTPA to 2 MTPA. The aggregate increase in grinding capacity resulting from these additions was 0.9 MTPA for Ramco Cements. The company’s ₹ 58 crore investment in these modifications is indicative of its dedication to satisfying growing customer demand and preserving its market advantage.

Ramco Cements emphasises that the company can immediately function at the expanded levels because the increased capacity has already gained regulatory approval. This growth is in line with the company’s overarching plan to increase output in order to meet the expanding demands of the construction industry, especially in southern India where infrastructure development is booming.

Ramco Cements is now better positioned to service its varied client base across its core regions. With five integrated cement mills and six grinding units under operation throughout India, the company guarantees a broad distribution network to serve infrastructure projects in both urban and rural areas.

Ramco Cements announces its financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, in addition to the capacity increase. During this time, the company’s revenue of ₹ 9,349.83 crore demonstrated its solid market position. The company’s capacity to adapt and prosper in a cutthroat market is demonstrated by the sales figures, which highlight how it has used strategic investments and operational efficiencies to spur development.

Ramco Cements is a prominent cement maker in India that is well-positioned to take advantage of future prospects in the building and real estate industries. It maintains this position by concentrating on optimising its production capacities and investing in infrastructure.
