India's Birla Corp Ltd has announced that its RCCPL subsidiary plans to set up a 3.9Mta facility in Mukutban, Maharashtra, at an investment cost of INR24.5bn (US$356.8m). The project includes a 40MW captive power plant and a 10.6MW heat recovery system.
The plant has already received environmental clearance, and is expected to be financed through a mix of debt and internal accruals. The move will increase Birla group’s capacity to 19.5Mta in the 2021-22 period, compared to the current 15.5Mta.
The company could also receive fiscal incentive from the state’s government due to Maharashtra being in a cement deficit, according to The Economic Times.
