Phased Expansion Plan with ₹482 Crore Investment to Boost Clinker and Cement Capacity

The sanction allows for a massive project with an investment worth ₹482 crore to be carried out in two phases. Under the first phase, the company will commission a new manufacturing facility with a production capacity of 1,600 tonnes of clinker a day, supported by an investment of ₹300 crore. Under the second phase, which will entail an additional investment of ₹182 crore, cement production capacity will be increased to 2,000 tonnes a day.

Government Incentives Worth Over ₹50 Lakh Annually Drive Growth Strategy in Assam

The Assam government incentive package is at the core of the company’s growth strategy. It offers a full reimbursement of State GST for fifteen years, limited to 150 percent of the fixed capital investment, and a power subsidy of ₹2 per unit for five years to a maximum of ₹50 lakh per year. The advantages are direct road access to the project location, a two percent interest rate subsidy on working capital finance, an employment-linked incentive of ₹10,000 per local youth employed, and reimbursement of stamp duty of up to ₹25 lakh. Further subsidies have also been sanctioned for generators, environmental protection, and quality certification, thus assuring the project of both financial and operational benefits.
