Heidelberg Cement India has received an approval for setting up waste heat recover based power generation plant at its Clikerisation unit at Narsingarh, District Damoh (M.P.).
The proposed plant will produce approximately 12.15 MW of power from available waste heat of pyro-processing system of all three clinkerisation lines at Narsingarh. The project cost is estimated to be in the range of Rs. 145 crore to Rs. 150 crore and it is likely to be operational in January 2015. It will substitute equivalent grid power and thus reduce power cost per ton of clinker and improve profitability. The board at its meeting held on February 11, 2013 has approved for the same.
