50 Manufacturing Companies – Wonder Cement
Wonder Cement is a cutting-edge cement manufacturing company enriched with the heritage of RK Marble, a leading name in the marble industry. The greenfield plant in Nimbahera, Rajasthan, was established in technical collaboration with ThyssenKrupp and Pfeiffer of Germany. It has a capacity to produce 6.75 million tonnes per year; with the launch of their first grinding unit in Maharashtra (capacity of 2 million tons annually), their current capacity has increased to 8.75MTPA. The civil work for their third clinker production unit is expected to be commissioned in mid-2019. Special effort was taken to ensure that the plant adheres to the latest environmental norms.
The company has invested about Rs₹450 crore to set up a 2-million tonne per annum clinker grinding unit in Dhule, Maharashtra. This also marks the company’s foray into the state. The company is also in the process of developing a railway siding for the unit.
The clinker required for the unit will be supplied from Nimbahera plant in Rajasthan. Gypsum, another raw material used for manufacturing cement, would be procured from Gujarat and flyash from nearby a thermal power plant. Under the expansion plans, the company is looking at setting up two more clinker units, one in Madhya Pradesh; the location for the other is yet to be finalised.
