Reliance Cement Company (RCC) has made a foray into West Bengal, a market that has 14-million-tonnes per annum (mtpa) demand and potential to grow by 8 per cent in the coming years.
“West Bengal is one of the largest cement consuming states in Eastern India with total consumption of around 14 million tonnes per annum,” Reliance Cement Company CEO Arvind Pathak said in a statement.
“With ever-increasing industrial activities, real estate, construction and infrastructure, in addition to the onset of various industrial zones being developed in West Bengal, the market is expected to grow at the rate of 8 per cent over the next few years,” he added.
Anil Ambani-led Reliance Group firm RCC has 5.8 mtpa cement-making capacity now. It has a 2 mtpa plant in Uttar Pradesh, 3 mtpa unit in Madhya Pradesh and 0.5 mtpa in Maharashtra. It sells the building material in key cities of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand.
