Shree Cement has outlined plans to invest approximately Rs 1,800 crore in establishing a new integrated cement manufacturing facility in Meghalaya, reinforcing its strategic push into the North-eastern market.
The proposed plant will be developed at Daistong village in the East Jaintia Hills district and is targeted for commissioning by March 2028. Designed with a clinker capacity of 0.95 million ton per annum (MTPA) and a cement production capacity of 0.99 MTPA, the facility will mark the company’s first manufacturing presence at this location.
The investment will be financed through a combination of internal accruals and debt, reflecting a balanced capital structure while supporting long-term expansion objectives.
This development is aligned with the company’s broader strategy of strengthening its pan-India footprint, with a focused emphasis on high-growth regions. The North-east is witnessing increasing infrastructure and construction activity, creating a favourable demand outlook for cement. The upcoming plant is expected to enhance supply chain efficiency and improve regional accessibility, positioning the company to better cater to evolving market requirements.
By entering relatively underpenetrated markets, Shree Cement continues to build capacity in line with anticipated demand growth, while reinforcing its competitive positioning in the Indian cement sector.
