Gautam Adani’s Ambuja Cement Unveils Rs 1600 Crore Cement Project in Warisaliganj, Bihar

Gautam Adani’s Adani Cement is investing Rs 1,600 crore to build a new cement grinding unit in Warisaliganj, Bihar. This major project will increase the company’s production capacity and is expected to significantly boost the local economy by creating many job opportunities. The facility will produce 6 million tonnes of cement per year.

The 3 Phases

The project will be done in three phases. The first phase, costing Rs 1,100 crore and producing 2.4 million tonnes per year, is set to be completed by December 2025.

Adani Group stated in a press release, “We have set aside enough land for future expansion at a much lower cost.”

New Cement Unit

The new cement unit will be located in Mosama village, Tehsil Warisaliganj, District Nawada, Bihar. The site has good transportation links, with the Warisaliganj railway station only 1 km away and State Highway 83 just 500 meters from the site.

This new facility is expected to transform the region by providing both direct and indirect job opportunities and supporting Bihar’s growing infrastructure needs. Adani Cement’s investment aligns with their goal of promoting sustainable infrastructure development in Bihar and throughout India.
