Kolkata-based Burnpur Cement is to launch a new product, Pozzolona Portland Cement (PPC), according to a statement to the Bombay Stock Exchange. PPC will be made at the company’s Patratu plant. Production will begin by the 3rd week of April.
“After the production of PPC, the capacity utilization of the plant will be 100%, and the turnover of the company will increase, which is a positive impact on the financial condition of the company,” Burnpur said.
