UltraTech Cement has secured additional limestone resources near to its recently commissioned Dhar cement plant in the state of Madhya Pradesh. According to the company announcement, the limestone block covers an area of 344.783 ha. and contains a mineable reserve of 54 million t.
The block was won via e-auction conducted by the state government of Madhya Pradesh.

The additional reserves will “be useful for augmenting the capacity of Dhar Unit in future,” Daga concluded.
