500 Acres
Green belt across plant, mines, colony and jetty
In 1979, Sanghi Group began operations on barren, rocky land near Hyderabad, arid terrain with thorny bushes, huge boulders, and wild shrubs. After 18 years of committed work, that land became Sanghinagar, recognised as one of the most clean and green industrial townships in India.
The same commitment came to Kutch. Over 500 acres of green belt were developed across the plant, colony, mines, and jetty, planned at a cost of Rs 2 crores and included as part of the project cost itself. Not an afterthought. A founding commitment.
Green belt across plant, mines, colony and jetty
Dust emission, one-third of legal limit
Invested in pollution control vs Rs 8.5 Cr norm
Clean power from Waste Heat Recovery
State-of-the-art pollution control equipment installed across every transfer point — bag filters and Electrostatic Precipitators in combination. Dedusting bag filters on every conveyor. Stack emission monitors and control software running continuously.
Result: dust emissions restricted to less than 50 mg/Nm³ — against a legal limit of 150 mg/Nm³. Capital expenditure of Rs 25 crores — against the Rs 8.5 crores typically invested by any cement plant in India.
The 15 MW Waste Heat Recovery Plant at Sanghipuram converts operational heat — heat that would otherwise be lost — into clean electricity. A system that treats efficiency and responsibility as the same decision.
The plant was inaugurated by the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Gujarat, Smt. Anandiben Patel, on July 10, 2015 — a recognition of what had been built and the standard it represented.
