Navrattan Group is putting 250 crore into a green cement plant in Punjab. It is meant to cut emissions using low carbon tech. Worth a look for anyone tracking industrial decarbonization in India.

The investment is decent, but the article is vague on the actual tech. Are they using waste heat recovery, alternative fuels, or carbon capture? Without the specs, green cement is just a marketing term.

Agreed. The real question is whether this plant is chasing specific Indian government subsidies or if there is a procurement mandate for green cement in local infrastructure projects that makes this viable.

Low carbon cement is great, but the cost premium usually kills these projects unless the developers get a tax break. I wonder if the local market in Rajpura can actually absorb the higher price point.
