DCB Begins Ops At Second Cement Unit In WB
The largest cement factory in Bengal of Dalmia Cement Bharat (DCB) kick-starts production of its second unit from 24th March. It has announced the commencement of commercial production of Line 2, having a capacity of 2.25 million tonne per annum (MTPA), at its Bengal Cement Works (BCW) unit in Midnapore. With this addition, the company’s overall capacity at the Midnapore plant has now gone to 4 MTPA per annum, making it the largest cement plant in the state. “This development is in line with the company’s commitment towards fostering sustainable growth while also creating job opportunities in the region,” it said on 24th March. The cement maker said post the lockdown-led demand disruption, the cement sector has been continuously witnessing buoyancy across the country. This is largely led by a revival in demand from the infrastructure and urban housing sectors along with the demand from individual home builders and the government’s rural housing schemes, especially from East and Central regions. Hence, the onset of commercial production at the BCW Unit will be catering to the growing demand from the Eastern and North-eastern states of the country.
