27 January 2021

India: The India Cement’s consolidated nine-month net sales for the period which ended on 31 December 2020 were US$416m, down by 24% year-on-year from US$550m, in the corresponding period of 2019. Its sales volumes of cement fell by 29% to 5.9Mt from 8.4Mt. However, its net profit more than doubled to US$21.5m from US$8.3m. The cement producer said that the construction industry started to recover from September 2020 following coronavirus-related lockdowns earlier in the year. Earnings and profits grew in the reporting period in part due to reduced production costs.

Dalmia Cement (Bharat) to hire more locals

27 January 2021

India: Dalmia Bharat subsidiary Dalmia Cement (Bharat) has shifted its recruitment procedures towards hiring more local people in Maharashtra, Bengal, Orissa due to labour shortages throughout the Covid-19 outbreak. The Economic Times newspaper has reported that local labour now makes up a majority of the workforce at multiple cement plants belonging to the company.

Dalmia Bharat group head of human resources Ajit Menon said, "In our Bengal plant, we have 90 - 95% local workers now versus 20 - 25% earlier, while in Orissa it is almost 100% local labour. Covid-19 has accelerated the intake of local workforce.” He added, “This has also given us the opportunity to give employment to people in the locations neighbouring our factories - many of whom are tribal people and are from underprivileged communities."

Study shows heavy metals equally present in CEM-I and CEM-II cement

27 January 2021

Tunisia: Carthage University, Ciments de Bizerte, the Tunisian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and the University of Algarve faculty of science and technology have concluded a study into the heavy metal content of CEM-I and CEM-II cement. The study found that both types of cement contain traces of arsenic, barium, boron, cadmium, chromium, copper, manganese, nickel, lead, strontium and zinc in equal measure, according to the Journal of Engineering.

Carthage University said, "Heavy metals in cement can originate from a variety of processes in production, including their initial presence in raw materials and fuel, incorporation into kiln refractory brick, metal erosion from the raw material grinding process and in additives such as gypsum, as well as cement kiln dust."
