The coal prices are now softening and expected to soften further, which will reduce the cost of production. We are very happy to have received the Environment Clearance (EC) for expansion to 3 million tonnes of cement. With sufficient limestone deposits, the Company is well poised to embark upon growth. “
Rajeev Nambiar, managing director of the company said “Another impressive year for SDCCL inspite of challenges on cost & intense market competition.

Combined with highest ever blended and special products sales led to the consolidation of top line growth and profitability. Beginning of operations of SDCCL Logistics and grant of EC for expansion adds newer opportunities for future business growth.”
