                  Chaibasa Modernization and Expansion Project



Hon'ble Shri Arjun Munda, Chief Minister of Jharkhand today inaugurated the
modernization and expansion project of ACC's Chaibasa Cement Works. Shri Madhu
Koda, Hon'ble Minister for Mines, Parliamentary Affairs and Cooperative was
Guest of Honour at the inauguration ceremony.



The project comprises replacement of the earlier plant which was based on the
old wet process technology with a new state-of-the-art clinkering unit of 1.2
MTPA together with a captive power plant of 15MW.  Chaibasa Cement Works is
located in W. Singhbhum district of Jharkhand. It is predominantly a tribal belt
containing the Kolhan and Chhota Nagpur regions.  This is the only industrial
enterprise in this part of Jharkhand.



The new Plant is today India's most modern cement plant using state-of-the-art
technology, fully automated and equipped with the latest instrumentation and
control systems.  All these features ensure production of cement meeting the
highest standards of quality assurance.



It is interesting to note that Chaibasa is India's first wholly indigenous
cement plant designed and built by engineers of ACC in 1947 - the year of
India's Independence.  It was the first Indian plant to produce Portland Slag
Cement and has maintained the tradition of environment friendly practices.



The new project also boasts of Asia's largest tube conveyor of 2.5 kms for
transportation of limestone from the mines to the factory.



With the successful commissioning of this project ACC hopes to consolidate its
presence in eastern India particularly in the states of Jharkhand and Bihar. It
is complemented by a host of new customer focused initiatives aimed to satisfy
the end-user, small customers and individual home-builders.
