A CONCRETE PROPOSAL
Article Abstract:
The producers of ready-mixed concrete (RMC) cement are trying to promote the product by educating the users in the construction industry about the benefits of this product. RMC is yet to be used on a large scale. It is being marketed as a value-added product. It is also being sold on the basis of quality, consistency, non-pollution and prompt delivery. Associated Cement Companies (ACC) is one of the largest producers of RMC with a capacity of more than 3 lakh cubic metres per annum. Other companies in the field include the Rajan Raheja group, Larsen & Toubro (L&T), Unitech, Indian Rayon Industries (IRI) and Madras Cements (MC). The RMC segment is expected to witness a rise in capacities as the Rajan Raheja group and RMC Plc of UK propose to spend Rs75 crore on new RMC plants in the next 3 years. IRI also plans to set up a 50,000 cubic metres plant in Hyderabad. The RMC segment has received a major impetus to its promotional efforts with the Maharashtra Road Development Corporation deciding to use value-added products in the construction of its 55 flyovers.
