The Group’s expertise in efficient industrial processes generate value, protects the environment, shows respect for societies & cultures and is sparing in its use of natural resources and energy. Lafarge India Ltd. was formed in the year 1999 and it started operation in India by acquiring Cement Division of Tata Steel with integrated cement plant located at Sonadih, Dist.: Raipur, State: Chattisgarh & grinding unit at Jojobera, Dist.: Jamshedpur, State: Jharkhand. Subsequently, in the beginning of the year 2001 it also acquired Raymond Cement Plant situated in Dist.: Bilaspur State: Chattisgarh and this plant is now renamed as Arasmeta Cement Plant. Lafarge India commissioned a green field project at Distt. Chhittorgarh in Rajasthan in 2013. Lafarge India Ltd is operating 1.5 MTPA of Fly-Ash Cement grinding station which is a State-of-the-art cement grinding unit based on latest and most eco-friendly technology adjacent to Thermal Power Station of Damodar Valley Corporation, Mejia, District Bankura West Bengal and is committed to grow with the environment. The unit is utilising bulk quantity of Fly –Ash generated by Mejia Thermal Power Station (MTPS) of Damodar Valley Corporation in an eco-friendly manner thus is instrumental in abating the Pollution in the region. Sonadih Cement plant has been in existence since 1993 and was acquired by LIL from Tata Iron And Steel Company (TISCO) on 1st November 1999. At present clinker production capacity is 3.5 MTPA. At present 20% clinker produced is utilized at Sonadih Cement Plant for manufacturing of Pozzolana Portland Cement while 80% clinker is sent to Jojobera grinding unit of LIL located at Jamshedpur for manufacturing of Portland Slag Cement and Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC). Mejia Grinding Unit also receives clinker from Sonadi Plant. LIL is committed to produce quality cement by adopting quality systems and eco-friendly manufacturing process. The major achievements of LIL at Sonadih are discussed hereunder. 1. Achieved ISO 9002 certification for quality standards in the year 1997. 2. Achieved ISO 14001 certification from IRQS in the year 1999. 3. Achieved OHSAS 18001 certification from M/S Indian Register Quality Systems in the year 2002. 4. Achieved several awards for the conservation of electrical energy in the plant. (ii) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF THE PROJECT. In the process of enhancement of cement capacity looking in to the demand, LIL, has proposed expansion of the cement plant for increase of clinker production capacity from 3.5 MTPA to 5.1 MTPA by installing one more process line of 1.6 MTPA clinker production capacity. Cement production after expansion of the cement plant will be increased from 1.0 to 3.0 MTPA. To support the cement plant with uninterrupted power, it is proposed setup 75 MW Coal based power plant within the existing cement plant complex. (iii) NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND OR REGION It is expected that, the Cement demand will grow at much higher rate than the national average. The bulk distribution of cement in the region is likely to see a high growth due to a number of new Ready Mix concrete plants and projects. Considering this, LIL proposes to increase Cement production capacity Opportunities for the Industry Though India ranks second in the world in cement production, its per capita annual consumption is very low. Per capita consumption in India has grown from a low level of 70 Kg to around 110 kg over the last 8 years, which is still way behind the world per capita consumption of 307 Kg (as of 2003). Cement Industry has growth potential not only within the country but also for exports to the neighbouring countries. With Indian growth rate rising, the opportunities for the industry seem to be large. Cement consumption in the coming years is likely to get a fillip from Government initiatives for housing and infrastructure: State highway development projects being undertaken by some states 10,000 kms of additional highways (25% concrete) Rural roads construction Housing finance growing by over 25-30% annually IT parks and SEZ zones development in proximity to metros (iv) DEMAND- SUPPLY GAP. Market demand and projections Cement growth is expected to be above the GDP growth of the country, which is expected to be around 8% for the coming years. The Indian cement Industry is poised for a period of significant growth and the demand for cement is expected to match the current availability by the end of the current fiscal. Cement demand has registered a CAGR of about 8.5% over the last decade. In fact, at the current levels of growth, the cement industry may have to add over 90 Million Tons of cement capacity to meet the demand for cement over the next 5 years.
