Sagar Cements Ltd
Sagar Cements Limited has informed regarding the commissioning of a new power project at its manufacturing facility. The company has successfully commissioned a 2.80 MW Waste Heat Recovery Power System (WHRS) at its cement plant located in Gudipadu village, Ananthapur District, Andhra Pradesh.
This system is part of a larger 4.35 MW WHRS project designed to improve energy efficiency by utilizing waste heat from the cement manufacturing process, particularly from the Air Quenching Cooler (AQC) boiler.
Out of the total planned capacity, 2.80 MW has now been made operational. The remaining 1.55 MW capacity, associated with the preheater boiler section, is expected to be commissioned by June 2026. Once fully operational, the WHRS project will enhance the plant’s self-sufficiency in power generation and reduce reliance on external electricity sources.
This development reflects the company’s continued focus on sustainability and cost efficiency through energy recovery systems in its cement production operations. The disclosure has been submitted for the information and record of investors and regulatory authorities.
