Saurashtra Cement (SCL) has taken annual maintenance shutdown of its Kiln and all the downstream equipment. This maintenance shutdown is planned to continue for about 20 days from November 24, 2016 and will depend on the conditions of the machineries found during the inspection. However, cement grinding and cement packing Sections will continue to operate meeting all cement dispatch requirements. Hence there will be no impact upon the sales volume.
SCL is the flag ship company of the Mehta Group, formed in 1956. SCL is one of the leading players in the Indian cement industry, manufacturing Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement (SRPC).
