Heidelberg leads interest in join venture with RINL
07 November 2011India: Heidelberg and major Indian cement companies including UltraTech and Reliance Cements have shown interest as joint venture partners in state-run Rashtriya Ispat Nigam's (RINL) proposed USD204m cement plant at Vizag, in Andhra Pradesh.
"We are looking for a partner to set up a 3Mt/yr plant at Vizag. Heidelberg, Ultratech and Reliance Cements have shown interests to be our joint venture partner," RINL Chairman and Managing Director A P Choudhary said. Zuari Cements, Bhavya Cements, JP Cements and Binani Cements have also shown interests in the joint venture.
"The finalisation of the partner will not take more than 2-3 months from now. We will be able to establish the joint venture before the end of the current fiscal year," Choudhary said.
Asked how much of a stake the steel-maker would offer to its partner, Choudhary said that no decision has been taken yet. However RINL is willing to give up to 74% to the partner since cement making is not its core business. The proposed venture will use fly ash and slag generated from RINL's Vizag plant, where the capacity will shortly be increased from 3Mt/yr to 6.4Mt/yr.
Around USD204m in investment will be required to set up the cement plant, Choudhary said, adding that the cost would be borne by the two firms according to the shareholding pattern. Production at the plant is likely to commence two years from the start of construction.
