How much capital is required to set up a cement plant?
The total cost of a cement plant is estimated to be US 75 to US 100 per tonne. The wide difference is due to various factors, including significant difference in cost of land, availability of lime stone mines etc. So, based on US 1 = Rs 73, and US 100 per tonne, the estimated capital cost of a 1 million tonne cement capacity is about Rs 730
