Production Commenced — What It Means

Sagar Cements Limited has announced the successful commissioning of a 2.80 MW Waste Heat Recovery Power System at its integrated cement manufacturing facility located in Gudipadu village, Ananthapur District, Andhra Pradesh. This specific installation pertains to the Air Quenched Cooler boiler, marking a significant step in the company's energy management strategy.

  • Focused on capturing thermal exhaust from the AQC boiler for electricity generation
  • Phased implementation allows for continued manufacturing output during upgrades
  • Targeting full 4.35 MW capacity completion within the current calendar year
