India: The state government of Jammu and Kashmir intends to set up a 1000t/day cement plant at its existing site at Pulwama, according to its official spokesman. The plant will be built in a 12 hectare site at government's existing cement plant at Khrew in Pulwama. The new plant will fill the gap in demand in the local market. According to a preliminary survey, the state requires 3Mt/yr but it only has an installed cement production capacity of 1.5Mt/yr with demand growing at 10%/yr.
