From the Editor
We have pleasure in presenting our latest,
updated and informative “Survey of Cement
Industry & Directory 2019”. It’s our sixth
edition, while the first edition was released in
2003; the second in 2010, the third in 2012,
the fourth in 2015 and the fifth in 2017. All the
previous five editions were well received and
very much appreciated for their contents on
cement industry, individual cement companies,
updated directory of corporate offices, cement
plants and other relevant contents.
Our 6th edition provides all related information about 70 cement companies
such as their background, promoters, cement plants, and their stand-alone
capacities, captive power plants, waste heat recovery systems, capex plans,
operational and financial performances, profiles of CEOs and other senior
managers, new technological developments etc. In addition, the Directory of
cement corporate offices, cement plants, suppliers of cement equipments and
machinery, have updated information.
In 2003, when we released our first edition, then the Indian cement industry
had only 60 major cement companies with 134 cement plants and an
aggregate capacity of about 150 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). In
the last 16 years, the number of cement companies has increased to 105,
cement plants to 279 and the cement capacity to about 540 MTPA. This has
happened despite over 25 companies acquired and merged with the existing
companies. In addition, during this period, over 50 cement companies have
installed coal based thermal captive power plants and about 25 companies
have added waste heat power generation systems, which have capacities of
4565 MW and 470 MW, respectively.
Though the cement industry in India has been continuously growing but
unfortunately, there is no single reliable source to provide the related,
authentic and updated information except the Cement Manufacturers’
Association (CMA). But, the CMA information is confined to only its
members numbering 47 cement companies, even less than the half of the 105
cement companies in existence. We have been consistently trying to fill the
information gap through our special editions on cement industry since 2003
onwards.
We take this opportunity to thank all the cement companies, equipment
and machinery suppliers, for extending their whole hearted co-operation in
making the 6th Edition much improved and quite successful.

Glorious 105 Years of Indian

Cement Industry: 1914-2019
Today, the Indian cement industry is 105 years old, just 25 years younger than the Chinese
cement industry, which is now 130 years old. India today has 105 cement companies, 279
major cement plants and an aggregate cement capacity of about 540 MTPA. With this, India
is the second largest cement producer in the world, the first being China, which has an
estimated cement capacity of over 3330 MTPA.
At present, the Indian cement industry
is spread all over the country, from
north to south and east to west
and north east too with the most
modern cement plants having latest
pollution control and energy efficient
technologies. The country has 105
major cement companies, which
operate 279 modern cement plants,
comprising integrated, grinding, and
exclusive clinker plants. They have

ASIAN CEMENT GROUP
Strengthening Cement Business
Asian Concretes and Cements Private Limited and Asian Fine Cements Private

Currently, the Group has a cement capacity of 3 MTPA. Further, it is in the process
of setting up a 1.5 MTPA clinker unit.
The Asian Cement Group is based
at Chandigarh with two companies
under its umbrella, namely: Asian

Introduction of CFD:
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
is the science of predicting fluid flow,
heat transfer, chemical reactions,
and related phenomena by solving
mathematical equations which govern
these processes using a numerical
process. CFD is sometimes referred to
as flow simulation, and is a computer
simulation technique that permits
the fluid flowing around, or through
any product, reactions, processes
to be analyzed in great detail. It
can be applied across the sectors
for performance optimization in
different kinds of equipment; general
applications are found in the following
industries: cement aerospace, power,
oil and gas, automotive, paper and
pulp, steel, etc.
Using this technique, designers can
verify that their products will conform
to a client’s needs early in the design
cycle, accelerating the product
development process. CFD can be
used to calculate design mass-flow
rates, pressure drops, heat transfer
rates, erosion rate, combustion
process, chemical reaction and fluid
dynamic forces such as lift, drag and
pitching moments. It creates virtual

prototyping which is faster, and cost-
effective.
Key Features:
x Good, detailed insight into systems
for which prototype development
or experimentation is difficult.
The level of detail is practically
unlimited.
x Ability to foresee design changes
and optimize accordingly, reducing
time and cost involved in evolving
new designs.
x Ability to predict mass flow rates,
pressure drops, mixing rates, heat
transfer rates and fluid dynamic
forces accurately.
x The CFD techniques offer the
capacity of studying system under
conditions over its limits.
x Can be used for brown field and
green field applications.
The Process/Methodology:
ƒModeling: Based on drawings
and data provided, a 3D model is
developed on computers.
ƒPre-processing: A model is
discretized into small elements
known as mesh and boundary
conditions (real time operating/
design data) are applied to the
model.
ƒSimulation: Simulations are
started and the equations are
solved iteratively as steady-
state or transient. Finally, post
processors are used for analysis and
visualization.
ƒOnce problems are identified the
model is modified and simulations
help to solve the problem.

Assured Performance of

Calderys India Refractories Limited
Introduction:
All Cement manufactures always
showcase efforts to achieve ideal
kiln operational condition i.e. one
shutdown in a year. Targeting for
more refractory life in the critical
areas of cement plant, enables to meet
the objective. Refractory relining is
time taking, hence maximising the
refractory performance in any areas
would provide financial benefits along
with mental/operational satisfaction.
Most of the cement plants use a
substantial volume of refractory
during a shutdown, which calls for
huge workforce deployment during
installation. Safety concerns over
the temporary manpower engaged
during a shutdown are of paramount
importance today.
Refractory Shutdown de-stabilises
cement kiln operation, so avoiding
production interruption is one
of the major targets for cement
manufacturers today. There are
many instances, where unproductive
hours were greater than the actual
shutdown duration. Unplanned
refractory shutdown not only reduces
production, impacts profitability but
also increases refractory cost.
Few Critical areas of a cement plant
like Tip casting (Nose Ring) and
Cooler Beam (Bull nose) are very
sensitive.
Tip casting (TC) is exposed to the
very high clinker abrasion,
thermal shock due to unstable
coating and
Severe mechanical stress due to
kiln rotation, 1st tire migration and
bolting system of metal blocks.
Labour & Industrial Chronicle
TECHNICAL FEATURE
Normally bricks are being used in
TC and they are matched with the
performance of burning zone bricks
lining performance. This is an ideal
condition. Over a period of time,
due to outlet shell ovality/bell mouth,
there arises a difference in hole
positions and various issues of tip
casting metal blocks (sector plates),
resulting in misalignment of the outlet
ring. This results in a reduction of tip
casting refractory performance. The
position of a metal retainer ring and
its design also plays a very important
role in the performance of bricks used
in Tip casting.
To overcome this situation, most
of the cement plants started using
various grades of castable (Monolithic
Lining). The dismantling of castable
and relining it with new castable
takes approx. 2-3 days more than that

 ACQUISITIONS & MERGERS

Acquisitions & Mergers

from 1936 to 2019
Industrial Chronicle has made an effort to compile all the acquisitions and mergers of
cement companies and cement plants in India since 1936 onwards. There is a possibility
of missing some companies/plants as their data was not available. However, from 1970s
onward, over 95 per cent of the acquisitions and mergers have been covered. ‒ Editor
