The KCP plant, costing ca. Rs.350 crore will produce nearly 1.2 million tpa of cement. The plant will operate at Muktyala near Jaggaiahpet and has the potential to generate employment for over 2000 people.

The new plants are being set up in the district to exploit the huge limestone deposits present in Jayanthipuram in Jaggaiahpet mandal, he added.

The project cost has been estimated at Rs.1600 crore, with a high capacity of 3 million tpa. The plant is likely to generate employment for ca. 7000 people.

Among the existing cement plants, the Ramcor Madras Cements’ plant has an installed capacity of 3.6 million tpa, followed by the NCL plant, which has a capacity of 0.295 million tpa. The Hemadri Cements’ plant in the district has a capacity of 0.193 million tpa.
