Ramco Cements looks to extend life of limestone mines.

Ramco Cements, which has commissioned a limestone beneficiation plant at its Alathiyur unit to upgrade the cement raw material and extend the life of its mines, is setting up one more such unit at its factory near Madurai.

Beneficiation is a process by which low-grade limestone, which would otherwise have been rejected, is converted into raw material for cement production.

AV Dharmakrishnan, Chief Executive Officer, Ramco Cements, said the beneficiation plant will help the company extend the life of its limestone mines by 25-30 years.
