Sanghi Industries' new 1.2Mta grinding plant was inaugurated on Friday by Gujarat Chief Minister, Anandiben Patel, in the western Indian state's Kutch district. The new unit lifts Sanghi's cement production capacity from 2.9Mta to 4.1Mta.

Ravi Sanghi, chairman and managing director, said during the ceremony: “Inauguration of the grinding unit by the Gujarat Chief Minister is a testimony to the fact that Sanghi Industries Ltd is considered as one of the leading corporate which has contributed to the industrial growth in Kutch and Gujarat.”

The Chief Minister also laid the foundation stone for a 15MW Waste Heat Recovery System (WHRS), which is scheduled for commissioning in the next two years. 

Alok Sanghi, director, said: “The new grinding unit would increase productivity, while the WHRS would reduce our costs and greenhouse gas emissions.”
