en.Wedoany.com Reported - Indian cement manufacturer Shree Cement plans to build a cement plant with an annual capacity of 1 million tons in Daistong, East Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya, with an estimated cost of $194 million. The funding will be covered through internal accruals and debt, and the plant is expected to be completed by March 2028.

The project is located in the East Jaintia Hills. The cement plant will integrate production and supporting facilities, covering raw material handling, clinker calcination, and cement grinding processes. This capacity scale will enhance Shree Cement's supply capability in the northeastern Indian market.

During the construction period, the company will complete civil works, equipment installation, and commissioning in phases. Upon commissioning, the new plant can meet the cement demand in Meghalaya and surrounding states, reducing reliance on long-distance transportation. According to public information, Shree Cement currently operates several large cement plants in India, with a total annual capacity exceeding 50 million tons.

This expansion into the East Jaintia Hills aims to leverage local limestone resources and transportation conditions to optimize production costs. Upon completion, the cement plant will directly and indirectly increase employment opportunities and drive the development of local transportation, power, and supporting service industries.

Shree Cement stated that the project is progressing as planned, and the procurement of key equipment and engineering contracting plans have entered the evaluation stage.
