Strong foundations for a solid future Zuari entered the Cement business in 1984 to operate the Texmaco Cement Plant. In 1995, Texmaco’s Plant at Yerraguntla was taken over by Zuari and a Cement Division was formed. The fledging unit came into its own in the year 2001 when Zuari Industries entered into a Joint Venture with the Italcementi Group and Zuari Cement Limited was born. In 2002, the Company took over Sri Vishnu Cement Limited, a 1.2 Million Tonne capacity plant at Sitapuram. It was in 2006, when the Birla Group exited the cement business that Zuari Cement Limited became a 100% subsidiary of the Italcementi Group. In 2007, Sri Vishnu Cement Limited merged into Zuari and the same year a total production capacity of 3.5 Million Tonnes was achieved. Today, the Company is amongst the topmost cement produces in South India.
