ACC Ltd has suspended limestone mining operations at its Chaibasa facility in Jharkhand as it awaits further clearances from the state government of Jharkhand.

''The limestone mining operations at the Company's Chaibasa Cement Works have been suspended on account of requirement of further clearances from the Government of Jharkhand,'' ACC has said in a statement.

The Holcim group company said it is in discussion with the relevant authorities and expects limestone mining operations to resume shortly. Cement grinding continues with transfer of clinker from sister works/ purchase of clinker.

The impact of the closure of the mining operations at Chaibasa is not expected to be material, ACC added.
