Navrattan Cement Industries LLP is investing Rs 250 crores to build a new greenfield manufacturing facility in Patiala, Punjab. The project will be located in Rai Majra village, Rajpura. The new plant will implement advanced green cement technologies. These systems aim to lower carbon emissions and increase energy efficiency compared to traditional cement production methods.

Green cement is a start, but the real question is the clinker ratio. If they are just adding fly ash, it is standard practice. I want to see if they are using actual carbon capture or alternative fuels for the kiln.
Agreed. Without specific reporting standards on what they define as green, these claims are hard to verify. It will be interesting to see if this project qualifies for any specific Indian climate subsidies or carbon credits.
Rs 250 crores is a modest investment for a greenfield cement plant. I wonder about the power source for this facility. If they are running on the standard Punjab grid, the carbon savings from the cement tech get eaten by the electricity mix.
New plant in Patiala focusing on lower emissions. The article mentions green tech but does not list the actual carbon reduction targets. Still a positive move for industrial decarbonization in the region.
