en.Wedoany.com Reported - German grinding equipment manufacturer Gebr. Pfeiffer SE announced in June 2026 that it has successfully commissioned three new vertical roller mills at Shree Cement's cement plant in Kodla village, Kalaburagi district, Karnataka, India. The three mills commissioned include an MVR 6000 R-6 mill for raw meal grinding, an MPS 3070 BK mill for coal grinding, and an MVR 6000 C-6 mill for cement grinding. These three mills are also the 42nd, 43rd, and 44th Gebr. Pfeiffer mills across all Shree Cement plants.

Gebr. Pfeiffer SE, headquartered in Kaiserslautern, Germany, is a global leader in the design and manufacture of vertical roller mills, widely used in grinding processes for the cement, coal, and metallurgical industries. Shree Cement Limited, founded in 1979 and headquartered in Kolkata, India, is one of the country's leading cement producers. The Kodla integrated cement plant represents a key strategic foothold for the company in southern India.

As part of Shree Cement's capacity expansion strategy, the plant completed the commissioning of a clinker production line with an annual capacity of 3.65 million tons (3.65 MTPA) on February 24, 2026. Subsequently, on March 14, 2026, the plant brought online a cement grinding line with an annual capacity of 3.50 million tons (3.50 MTPA). With the full operation of these three Gebr. Pfeiffer mills, the overall capacity of the Kodla plant has been further enhanced.

This commissioning marks another significant milestone in the decades-long technical cooperation between Shree Cement and Gebr. Pfeiffer. As a key customer of Gebr. Pfeiffer in India, Shree Cement has previously ordered multiple high-performance vertical roller mills for its plants in Raipur and other locations. The operation of these new mills not only optimizes the entire process flow at the Kodla plant—from raw meal preparation and coal grinding to cement grinding—but also further strengthens Shree Cement's manufacturing capabilities in the southern Indian market, supporting its medium-term goal of achieving a cement production capacity exceeding 80 million tons by 2029.
