Macherla Cement Plant:

Commissioned in 1958, it is one of India’s oldest cement plants and India’s Ist dry process Kiln with technology from KHD Humboldt, Germany. With an initial annual capacity of 200 tons, it has been expanded & modernized to a current annual capacity of 0.8 million tons with technology from Fives Lille, France and later FLSmidth, Denmark (Fuller Inc, USA). This plant also incorporates a state of art centralized process control system using hardware and software from FLSmidth Automation, Denmark for optimisation and enhanced productivity.

In 1999 an 8.25 MW Hydel Power Plant was set up on the Nagarjuna Sagar Dam right canal (on Guntur branch) for generating clean & sustainable power. A 2.3 MW Waste Heat Recovery Power plant was set up by utilizing waste gases exhausted from the kiln preheater and cooler chimneys.

Muktyala Cement Plant:

A Greenfield plant commissioned in 2011 is one of India’s most modern, highly automated, cost efficient and Eco Friendly plant with an annual capacity 1.86 million tons expandable to 3.5 million tons. Built with world class Pyroprocessing technology from KHD Humboldt, Germany, Grinding technology from GEBR Pfeifer, Germany and Plant Automation & Automated Packing technology from FLSmidth, Denmark, world leaders in Cement plant technologies.

In 2019, the plant capacity was expanded to 3.52 million tonnes per annum by the addition of a 2nd line of operation by replicating the Pyroprocessing of the 1st line and adding grinding technology from Loesche, Germany.

This plant has state of art bag filters and enclosures with noise silencers for process fans that combine to keep dust emission and sound levels below national standard levels.

The plant is also enhanced with Captive Power Generation of about 20 MW (Thermal & Solar) with turbines from Siemens, Germany.

This plant is one of the few integrated cement plants in India with all ISO quality certifications namely ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 & ISO 50001. This journey of producing high quality cement with environmental responsibility has resulted in many national and International awards for energy conservation, cost reduction, safety, health and environment from the government and other reputed agencies.
