Shree Cement commissions RAS Unit-11 in Rajasthan, capacity rises to 65.8 MTPA

The new unit adds 3.65 MTPA of clinker capacity and 3.0 MTPA of cement capacity, further strengthening Shree Cement’s largest and most advanced manufacturing complex and one of Asia’s largest single-location cement facilities.

Designed as a fully integrated unit, RAS Unit-11 reinforces the plant’s clinkerisation and grinding capabilities at a single site, supporting efficient and reliable supply to key North Indian markets.

With this addition, Shree Cement’s total cement production capacity in India increases to 65.8 MTPA, consolidating the company’s position as a benchmark for large-scale cement manufacturing.

RAS Unit-11 is supported by advanced automation and modern plant infrastructure, including Pfeiffer raw and coal mills, an FLSmidth kiln with a 6-stage preheater and DeNOx system, and an FLSmidth Cross-Bar cooler with an intermediate HRB (Heavy-Duty Roller Breaker).

Energy efficiency is strengthened through a 22 MW waste heat recovery system and the use of alternative fuels, aligning with Shree Cement Limited’s sustainability backbone.

Commenting on the milestone, Neeraj Akhoury, Managing Director, Shree Cement Limited, said: “RAS Unit-11 reflects our continued focus on disciplined capacity expansion and responsible resource use. Additionally, the adoption of advanced technologies across our operations and logistics has further enhanced efficiency and cost optimisation.”

Backed by long-term mining security, NABL-accredited quality systems, a highly skilled workplace and enhanced capacity, Shree Cement is well-placed to support infrastructure growth and deliver value to customers across North India.
