Vertical and horizontal growth has long been a part of the Company's mission. Complementing the Brownfield facility at Sirohi, Rajasthan, a split grinding unit at Neem Ka Thana has been commissioned to boost capacity to 6.25 mtpa in India. And with the installation of two additional power plants the Company is all set to achieve a power capability of 69.6 MW, which has made the company 100% self-sufficient in power.
To achieve higher energy efficiencies, the company has made a move to mine lignite at Nimbri Chandawatan. Exploration and operations have already begun in 2009 to provide this vital fuel for the 75 MW captive power plant. Binani Cement has made long term arrangement of coal for captive purpose by acquiring coal mines in Indonesia near the coastal belt. The Company has set up a Singapore subsidiary exclusively for managing coal which will basically control the interest in coal mines of Indonesia. If the Government is able to build strong infrastructural developments of railways and roadway, Binani Cement is looking to invest in the coal blocks.
A new 2.5 mtpa Greenfield cement plant near coastal Gujarat, a location with strategic advantages as it provides the Company with the option of exporting clinker to its manufacturing facilities abroad is planned pending clearance from the Government of Gujarat.
