ABOUT COMPANY:
Anjani Portland Cement Ltd. (APCL) is a part of the Chettinad group, a business house in South India with diverse businesses including cement manufacturing, transportation, logistics and supply chain management, construction, healthcare and education.
APCL is a small-sized cement manufacturing company in South India. It commenced its cement manufacturing operations in 1999 with an installed production capacity of 1,98,000 MT per annum with one production plant. As on September 30, 2022, APCL operated two production lines in the Cement Plant with an installed production capacity of 11,60,000 MT per annum. The Company manufactures Ordinary Portland Cement ("OPC"), Portland Pozzolana Cement ("PPC"), and Composite Cement ("CC"). This classification of cement is based on its composition which ultimately determines its usage. Within OPC there are different grades of cement based on the minimum compressive strength gained by the cement-sand mortar mix in 28 days' time. The company manufactures 53 grade and 43 grade in OPC.
The principal raw materials used by it for the cement manufacturing process are limestone, gypsum, iron ore, laterite and fly ash. As of date, it operates two limestone mines situated in Chintalapalem Village, in the Suryapet District, with reserves (including probable reserves) of approximately 34 million tonnes. In addition, the company is in the process of obtaining the necessary approvals for a third limestone mine, which will increase its available reserves (including probable reserves) to approximately 44 million tonnes. The mines are situated near its Cement Plant.
