Shree Cement plans to establish a 3Mta cement grinding mill in Dhenkanal district, Odisha state. The Rajasthan-based company wants to use fly-ash generated from the nearby power plants at the cement mill.

“The proposed location at Odapada would be ideal for the cement grinding unit as the ash generated from industries in the locality such as Bhushan Steel, GMR (Kamalanga), Lanco Badbandh Power and Navabharat Ventures can be effectively utilised by the proposed unit for producing cement,” said the project proposal of Shree Cement.

Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (IDCO) has asked the district administration to identify a suitable area of land for the cement mil.
