Green cement is a broad term. I want to know if they are using calcined clay, slag, or some other alternative binder to actually drop the clinker ratio. Without those details, it is just a corporate label.

Agreed. The real question is whether this plant is chasing specific Indian government subsidies or preparing for future carbon taxes. The incentives usually dictate the actual tech choice.

250 crore is a modest start for a cement plant. I wonder about the power source for this site. If they are claiming green manufacturing but running on a coal heavy grid, the net impact is minimal. Are they building onsite renewables?
