HYDERABAD, 22nd March 2024 : Shree Cement Limited announced the launch of Bangur Concrete with the commissioning of its first Greenfield Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) plant in Hyderabad. The plant which was inaugurated by Shree Cement’s Chairman Shri HM Bangur has a capacity of 90 cubic meters per hour. The commissioning of the state-of-the-art unit aligns with the company’s vision to emerge as a multi-product player in the core cement business. As part of this strategy, Shree Cements had acquired five operational plants of StarCrete LLP in Mumbai earlier this month for a consideration of Rs 33.5 crore. The company’s combined RMC capacity now stands at 512 cubic meters per hour.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Neeraj Akhoury, Managing Director of Shree Cement Ltd, said, “This venture into Ready Mix Concrete marks our entry into a promising new line of business. We recognise the vast potential of RMC business, which is being driven by India’s growth momentum, the concerted efforts of both Central and State Governments to advance infrastructure projects and an uptick in the housing sector. We’re committed to aggressively expand our presence in this market by building new units as well as acquiring plants.”

He added, “Driven by our core philosophy of ‘Build Smart’, Shree Cement is firmly on track to become a modern and green building material company.
