Expansion of facilities over the years has resulted to a capacity of 0.3 million metric tonnes per annum, from its Asansol Unit.

The company has set up an integrated cement plant at Patratu, Jharkhand with an installed capacity of 0.3 million metric tonnes per annum with an investment of about Rs 300 crore. The first phase of its Integrated Cement Plant, has started its commercial production, which was inaugurated by the Chief Minister of Jharkhand, Raghubar Das. The plant will be able to produce the three most commonly used types of cement i.e. OPC, PPC and PSC.
