Northeast-based Star Cement plans to achive capacity expansion by an additional two million tonne (MT) with a greenfield plant in Silchar, Assam.
The expansion, entailing an investment of Rs 400 crore, is expected to be completed within the next two years. The land for the project has already been acquired.
The company's expansion would strengthen the business, amidst the growth being witnessed in the building materials sector. Star Cement currently operates an integrated cement plant in Meghalaya and two grinding units in Guwahati (four MT) and Siliguri, West Bengal (two MT).
