Kudithini Cement Works inaugurated today - ACC’s
4th Cement Plant in Karnataka
ACC Kudithini Cement Works
was inaugurated today by Mr. G Janardhan Reddy
the Hon’ble Minister for Tourism and Infrastructure
Development Government of Karnataka, in the
august presence of senior members of the local
Government and Administration and other distinguished
guest.
Located in Kudithini village which is 25 kilometres
from the district headquarters town of Bellary,
this new plant becomes the company’s sixteenth
cement plant in its national network and the
fourth in the state of Karnataka.
A GREENFIELD PROJECT
This new generation fully automated cement grinding
plant has an annual capacity to produce 1.2
million tonnes of Cement of superior quality.
The project involved an outlay of about Rs 370
crores. Clinker is supplied by ACC’s modern
cement plants at Wadi in Gulbarga district and
despatched by rail and road. The Kudithini plant
has its own railhead and siding with sophisticated
unloading and handling facilities.
Kudithini is strategically located in central
Karnataka allowing easy access by road and rail
to all important markets and regions of Karnataka
and the neighbouring states of Andhra Pradesh
and Maharashtra. In particular the fast developing
region of Bellary can now enjoy fresh and prompt
supply of cement from this modern plant.
GREEN AND DURABLE CEMENT
ACC Kudithini will produce Portland Slag Cement
(PSC) using slag from Bellary region which is
now an important source of iron and steel. This
variety of Blended cements has superior binding
properties not found in other ordinary cements.
Its inherent characteristics enable it to make
better-quality concrete that is more impermeable,
exceedingly corrosion resistant, capable of
withstanding aggressive soil and environment
conditions and therefore more durable and long-lasting
as compared to concrete made with ordinary cements.
ACC PSC is environment-friendly cement that
involves reduction in the emission of harmful
greenhouse gases and thus has the ability to
play a meaningful role in the global effort
to mitigate climate change.
Cement will be made available in specially
designed 50-kg bags that are tamper-proof and
seepage-proof. ACC Kudithini can also supply
cement in bulk tankers to large construction
projects, concrete product makers and to ready
mixed concrete and batching plants in the local
region.
AN ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY PLANT
The manufacturing process at the Kudithini cement
plant does not generate any waste water, effluent
or solid waste making it a “Zero Discharge
Zero Solid Waste Plant”. The plant will
maintain the highest possible standards in environment
management, equipped with sophisticated air
pollution control systems to stop dust and fugitive
emissions. The environment-friendly ethos will
be further enhanced by a unique township designed
on the principles of sustainable habitats incorporating
features such as green energy, water conservation,
natural air cooling and organic farming. When
finished, the township project will be a proud
showpiece for Bellary demonstrating an environment
and planet-friendly way of pursuing development.
ACC & KARNATAKA – PARTNERS
IN PROGRESS
ACC Kudithini will prove to be one of the major
industrial units in Bellary District, offering
sustainable livelihoods to more than 1200 people
through direct and indirect employment. It will
generate considerable opportunities for new
ancillary businesses such as road transport,
packing and other trades.
