Expanding and investing in
value-accretive cement portfolio

As a step towards circular economy, we established our cement production facility in
1993 to utilise the solid waste generated in the manufacturing of Soda Ash and to realise
value from it. Our strategic direction in the business has been to continuously add value
to products to meet customer requirements. Subsequently, we expanded our portfolio to
Masonry cement, a niche and unique product and OPC cement with high
one-day strength.
Continuing this journey forward, we expanded our product offering by launching Tata
Shudh PPC Cement in response to the changing customer expectations for blended
cements. Made of high-quality fly ash, this cement can be used for all construction
applications. With this, our cement portfolio cuts across wide application segments and
offers widest range in construction in our core markets of Saurashtra and Kutch.

With rising demand, our PPC cement is gaining increasing acceptability due to its quality
and versality. To serve this growing demand, we have planned to further augment our
production capacity by 0.3 MMT by FY 2021-22.
