Ambuja Cements Limited, part of Adani portfolio, will set up a modern cement grinding unit within the industrial estate of Adani Gangavaram Port in Visakhapatnam.
The initiative is part of Adani Group’s plan to promote sustainable, port-based industrial development while reducing environmental impact.
The proposed facility will be developed on eight hectares of land already designated for industrial use within the port premises, avoiding any new land acquisition. According to company officials, the project reflects Ambuja’s commitment to responsible land use, and integrated logistics planning. They note that designed with a strong focus on sustainability, the unit will make use of industrial byproducts such as slag and fly ash sourced from nearby steel and power plants.
The plant has been classified under the Orange Category, signifying a low environmental impact. It will not involve any fuel combustion or chemical processing.
The facility will also feature advanced dust control measures such as high-efficiency baghouses, bag filters, and mechanised road sweepers to maintain a clean operational environment. In addition, the project has been designed to ensure minimal water usage, and will function with zero liquid discharge, thereby conserving local water resources.
