In the Infra space you are one of the oldest companies with very rich experience. Please let us know how the journey was so far. The journey of Shri Keshav Cement and Infra from 1995 till 2018 was navigated through rough edges due to 1980’s technology which was used for manufacturing cement. The plant was modernized in FY 2018. Journey of the company began with the purchase of a sick unit in 1994 and another sick cement plant in 2007 from Debt Recovery Tribunal. We inherited an obsolete technology cement plant which needed capital-intensive imrpovements of technology to optimally utilize the resources, which required substantial funds. FY 2018 was an important year for the company – establishment 25 MW of Solar plant and for de-bottlenecking of cement plant at the cost of ₹190 Crore. Cement plant was expanded from 0.10 million tons per annum (mtpa) to 0.35 mtpa. This led to jump in EBIDTA and margins. SKCIL established another 12 MW in FY 2022 to make it the only cement plant in the country running on 100% green power.
The company has a Captive solar plant. Taking into account the government focus on Green energy do you have any plan to have any other verticals?
