India is home to the world’s second largest Cement Industry and accounts for over 8% of the global installed capacity.
Each year, more than half of the estimated 62 million tonnes of municipal solid waste generated in India is thrown at various dumpsites. At this rate, India will require a landfill area of 8,800 hectares in 2050 – equivalent to the size of New Delhi city – according to the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD)...
"Skill, Speed, and Scale; all three developmental aspects envisioned by PM Modi are perfectly captured by the Budget 2019 document. The Cement Industry extends its full support in realising economic reforms through rapid growth in infrastructure across housing, rail, road, waterways and highways. The Cement Industry finds the Government’s idea of prioritising waste to energy and enabling entrepreneurship among farmers through harvesting bioenergy are very encouraging. Cement sector offers to further the circular economy practices on close partnership through Government support. The Budget balances the aspirations for growth of both business enterprise and rural India." - Mr. Mahendra Singhi, President, CMA
