A commitment to customer satisfaction has seen Zuari Cement grow from a modest 0.5 million tonne capacity in 1995 to 3.5 million tonnes in 2009. In 2010, we have expanded the production capacity at our yerraguntla plant by installing a second burning line with a designed production capacity of 2.3 million tons of cement per year and adopting  top-of-range technical solutions with a particular focus on energy performance. By this the production is almost doubled and a grinding center at Chennai of 1 million ton capacity is under construction, to be commissioned in early 2011. A captive power plant with a capacity of 43MW has already been set up at the Company's cement manufacturing facility at Sitapuram.

With a 6% market share in the south Indian cement market and sales of about Euro 172 million in 2009, Zuari Cement has chalked out ambitious plans for the future. This includes strengthening its presence in the Maharashtra, Orissa and West Bengal markets. While technology is just one of its strengths, there are many other factors that contribute equally to Zuari's success, these include a high-level organisation and decentralised quality assurance teams to guarantee the full compliance with the customers' expectations.
