ACC, the cement manufacturing major, has established a cement blending unit at Padubidri, in Udupi district of Karnataka.
The newly set up unit has a capacity to blend about 30,000 tonne of cement in a month.
The cement blending facility will use fly ash from the thermal power plant of Udupi Power Corporation which is located in Udupi district.
For cement production from the newly established unit, the clinker from ACC's plant at Wadi in Gulbarga district will be used.
The cement unit serves the cement requirement of coastal Karnataka and Kerala.
