Ambuja Cements has started producing clinker and cement at its new Marwar Cement Works (Marwar Cement Works) located in the Nagaur district of Rajasthan. The trial operation of the new plant was actually opened by Ashok Gehlot, Chief Minister of Rajasthan. The newly built integrated plant invested 2,350 crore to increase Ambuja’s clinker production capacity by 3 metric tons/year and cement sales by 5 metric tons/year, thus contributing to the company’s long-term capacity expansion strategy. The plant uses all modern equipment and technologies to produce cement in a more environmentally friendly way. It has a waste heat recovery system (WHRS) that converts the waste heat generated in the production process into energy. Neeraj Akhoury, Managing Director and CEO of Ambuja Cement, said: “Ambuja has an ambitious growth plan to expand its production capacity in India, and the Marwar plant is a step in this direction. We are very proud that it is a one. Planting’green plants’ aims to satisfy our ambitions for a sustainable future.” Marwar Cement Works is Holcim Group’s third factory in Rajasthan, after Rabariwas and Lakheri.
