Shree Cement, a prominent player in the Indian cement industry, has inaugurated a state-of-the-art grinding unit in Etah, Uttar Pradesh, with an impressive annual capacity of 3 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). This greenfield project, which saw an investment of Rs 850 crore, is set to generate over 500 direct and indirect employment opportunities.
The unit’s strategic location, in proximity to established railway infrastructure, ensures cost-effective transportation of raw materials from Rajasthan. Additionally, the plant will utilize both road and rail networks for cement dispatch.
