through its daily operations Quality (of the product) and Safety (of the human resources involved in

Product & Services

Ambuja Cement is committed to make high strength cement that would enable our customers build
strong and durable structures.

To achieve this, the finest quality of limestone is used and state-of-the-art technology deployed. But our
people have also used one more ingredient Innovation. They have developed an innovative way of
using fly ash to produce high strength Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC)

Millions of tons of fly ash is generated as waste annually by thermal power plants and poses a high
environmental hazard. This waste is put to productive use and this innovation has also meant 25% less
limestone is used in the production of cement.

Ambuja Cement latest breakthrough is the launch of Ambuja PLUS, a high quality cement with a promise
of more strength. This new cement, just released in the eastern and western markets, offers twin
advantages higher strength in concrete as well as long term durability.

Our wholly owned subsidy Alccofine, specializes in micro materials which are widely used in high
strength concrete at prestigious projects throughout India. The Alccofine Micro Materials range from
high strength concrete additives to special applications in tunnels and dams.
