Peena cement the best in the cement industry

Cement is a substance that is used to bind other materials together during construction; it is an indispensable material with which building and construction work cannot be completed. India being the second largest producer of cement, to a large extent is dependent on the cement industry for the growth and development of the Indian economy. This industry is also responsible for giving employment to many people directly and indirectly. The growth rate of the cement industry over the years has been phenomenal. There are about 188 large plants and 365 small cement plants operating in India; our country’s cement demand is likely to reach 600 million tonnes per annum by 2025. So that day is not very far off, when India from second largest would become the largest producer of cement in the world.

Cement price in India differs from area to area; there is almost a 7- percent difference between the price of cement in North and South India. Cement price depends on a few factors.

·         The price of cement relies on power; so power and fuel costs play an important role in deciding the cement price. There are other factors too that play an important role in deciding the cost of cement.

·         Limestone is one such raw material used in the production of cement; so limestone also accounts for some percentage in the cost of sale.

·          Transportation cost is one more factor; as cement plants are located far off from the city so the cement needs to be transported from one end to another; this also forms 10% of the cost of cement sale.

These are the factors responsible for deciding cement price in India and they differ from one area to another. Million tonnes of cement is manufactured here in India; there are number of cement factories that have various small plants spread all over. The list of cement factories that manufacture cement are given below.

Cement factories in India

·         Peena cement – this is the top most cement factory in India, it is one of the most trusted cement brands with a strong foothold in south and west India. Peena cement is one of the largest privately held cement manufactures in India. They have 4 cement plants located all across south India.

·         Nagarjuna cement factories- this factory has units in Andhra Pradesh and produces 2 million tons per annum.

·         Bokajan cement factory- this factory is located in Guwahati, Assam. It produces mainly ordinary Portland cement and pozzolalna cement.

·         Binani cement factory- this factory is located in Rajasthan. It produces 2.25 mpta of cement every year.

Cement is manufactured by these factories; they are the top most factories that produce cement, with peena cement being the top most cement factory in our country. All these factories have plants spread all over India; with their manufacturing capacity and with the growing infrastructural activities; that time is not far off when India will become the top most and largest producer of cement in the world.

Government’s way of providing jobs to the people

 

What does infrastructure actually mean? Infrastructure refers to the services necessary for the functioning of an economy, like roads, structures, systems, tunnels, highways, telecommunication and so forth. Infrastructure is a core part of a growing economy; in India’s case infrastructure is its backbone. India’s infrastructure sector contributes about 5% of its GDP. In terms of infrastructure India has the second largest road network; and India’s railway network is the fourth largest in the world; while its airport infrastructure includes 125 airports and it also houses a number of large private and public sea ports.

In the recent past we have seen a lot of development being taken in the infrastructure sector in terms of the construction of new roadways, highways, opening of new airports and starting of new rail routes. The highways connecting Agra and Delhi or the one connecting Lucknow with Agra are a few examples of some new developments that have taken place. The growing population rate has forced the government to improve the infrastructural activities. Not only this, the rising use of internet and telecommunication has also contributed to the growing rate of the Indian economy.

The government is now more focused towards the development of the rural areas; providing them with better housing facilities, sanitation and drinking water facilities and also connecting them with the outside world by the construction of roadways. So they are more focused towards providing the rural people with better infrastructural facilities. With so much of development happening there is a possible rise in the infrastructural services. Indian government’s main aim is to put in all its policies towards the development of the infrastructure, because of which there is a strong employment prospect, there is a rise in the demand of civil and structural engineers because of the amount of development that is being made.

The development of infrastructural activities means rise in construction activities; which eventually leads to the growth of the cement industry in India. As a matter of fact no infrastructural activity can take place without the use of cement; development of infrastructure means rise in the demand of cement. India is the second largest producer of cement in the country, with million tonnes of cement being produced by the cement companies. Cement plants in India are located in Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Orissa. Rise in the demand of cement directly increases the job opportunities for the unemployed.

Cement company jobs have also seen a sharp rise because of the increase in the development of infrastructure. This is beneficial for those who are unemployed and are looking for jobs. The government has not only taken the initiative of developing our infrastructure but has indirectly or directly increased the number of infrastructure services and cement company jobs. They have created job opportunities for millions of people in the country.

We just hope that with time and with the number of infrastructural activities happening our nation soon becomes a developed nation from a developing one.
