Portland Slag Cement conforming to IS 455:1989.

to a gradual stepping up of production over
the years. Expansion of facilities over the years
has resulted in a capacity of 1000 TPD of cement making.

for consistent product quality, customer satisfaction,
marketing network etc. For its consistent and
