It has a unique track record of innovative research, product development and specialised consultancy services. The company’s various manufacturing units are backed by a central technology support services centre, the only one of its kind in the Indian cement industry.
As the largest cement producer in India, it is one of the biggest customers of the domestic coal industry and of the Indian Railways, apart from being a considerable user of the country’s road transport network services for inward and outward movement of materials and products.
It’s among the first companies in India to include commitment to environmental protection as one of its corporate objectives. The company installed sophisticated pollution control equipment as far back as 1966, long before pollution control laws came into existence. Today each of its cement plants has state-of-the-art pollution control equipment and devices. Its commitment to sustainable development, its high ethical standards in business dealings and its ongoing efforts in community welfare programmes have won it acclaim as a responsible corporate citizen.
