K J S Cement proposes an expansion of its clinker and cement manufacturing plant at Village Amilia Lakhwar, dist. Satna, Madhya Pradesh. The capacity of the clinker plant is proposed to be augmented from 1.5 MTPA to 2.2 MTPA and cement plant from 2.25 MTPA to 3.55 MTPA. The current status of the project could not be ascertained. According to MoEF sources, the cement plant produces OPC/ PPC. The expansion will be achieved by debottlenecking and process optimization. Existing plant is based on dry process technology with pre-heating and pre-calciner technology. It is proposed to set up a new 170 TPH cement grinding mill and a railway siding to cater to inward and outward logistic needs. The project will be undertaken in the existing 91-hectare plant premises. The estimated cost of the expansion project is Rs. 3,200 million. Additional power requirement of 39 MW will be met from existing 27 MW CPP and MPSEB grid. ToR has been accorded to the project by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF & CC).
