New Projects Rain Group expanding cement, calcined coke capacities Our Bureau Hyderabad, March 24 Hyderabad-based Rain Group is expanding the capacity of its cement plant in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, by adding 1.5 million tonnes (mt) by May, besides augmenting its Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) production. With the capacity addition to the Kurnool plant, the total cement capacity of the Group would be 3.16 mt per annum, according to a release. At present, the company is marketing its cement as ‘Priya Cement’ in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. Rain Group is also a major supplier of calcined coke to the steel and titanium dioxide industry. It has eight integrated CPC manufacturing facilities, with seven of them strategically located in the US and one in India. It also generates energy through waste heat recovery from three of its plants in the US and from its one plant in India. Growing demandThe demand for both these products cement and CPC is growing due to demand from the end-use markets, that is, infrastructure, housing and aluminium. In view of this, the Group was proposing to expand its CPC capacity with greenfield projects in India and China that were expected to commence operations in early 2010 to meet the growing demand there as well as West Asia and South Africa, the release added. Currently, it is the world’s largest producer of CPC with a capacity of 2.44 mt per annum. More Stories on : New Projects | Coke & Metalurgical Coke
