Ramco Cements Posts Good Results

Ramco’s Q2 results were better than estimates, with EBITDA coming in at Rs.2.47 bn vs. market estimates of Rs.2.06 bn and OPM at 20.9% vs. market estimates of 18.2% on higher-than-estimated realization.
Volume grew 14.7 % YoY to 2.47 MT. Realization was down 3.5 % YoY. Lower realization and higher operating expenses led to a 667 bps YoY contraction in OPM to 20.9%.
Ramco Cements' is planning to increase grinding capacity by 3.1 MT and clinker capacity by 1.5 MT in the coming year. These capacities should help target sales volume growth in Andhra Pradesh (coastal districts), Odisha, Jharkhand, and West Bengal.

Atibal Gold Cement

Aditi Industries

Atibal Gold Portland Pozzolana Cement

Atibal Gold Cement is produced by Aditi Industries and their offices are located in the capital of Assam, Guwahati. Their cement plant is located in the Nagaon District of Assam.

Aditi Industries produces just one grade of cement - Atibal Gold Portland Pozzolana Cement. This is Portland Cement blended with Pozzolanic materials (Fly Ash obtained from power or thermal stations, burnt clays, ash from burnt plant material or silicious earths), either together or separately. Portland clinker is ground with Gypsum and Pozzolanic materials which, though devoid of cementing properties themselves, combine chemically with Portland Cement in the presence of water to form extra strong cementing material which resists wet cracking, thermal cracking and has a high degree of cohesion and work-ability in concrete and mortar.

Clinker, the raw material for the plant is sourced from the cement plants of Meghalaya located at a distance of about 340 Kilometers. Clinker is delivered at the plant in Hatigaon by trucks from Lumshnong, Meghalaya and unloaded at the covered Clinker Stockpile Yard. Clinker is received via rake loads and unloaded in the railway siding at Amoni, Assam. 

Fly ash is received in bags via rake loads on rail from the nearest Thermal Power plants. This will be stored in the covered fly ash storage bins. Similarly, Gypsum which will be moved by road from Bhutan and will also be stored in a covered Gypsum storage yard. 

Clinker, fly ash and gypsum from their respective storage will be transported by a network of belt conveyors and will be fed to their respective Cement Mill Hoppers located in the Hopper building. Cement manufactured will be stored in the silo will be extracted by the air slides and into the packing plant hopper. Cement thus transferred to the Packing Plant Hopper will be packed in 50 Kilogram bags by spout packers and will be transported by a network of belt conveyors to the trucks placed in the dock for loading and dispatched to the markets.
