History

In 1979, BG Bangur incorporated Shree Cement. In 1983 they commissioned its first plant in Rajasthan and in 1985 it began production. Until then a family business, in 1995 BG Bangur’s family gained full control of the business. The current head of the company is 70-year-old Hari Mohan Bangur, who had joined his father, BG Bangur since he graduated from IIT Bombay in 1975. Nineteen years ago, in 2003, HM Bangur’s son Prashant Bangur too joined the business. [9]

In November 2019, the company had raised Rs 2,399.99 crore through a qualified institutional programme at a share price of Rs 19806.46. Nearly two years later, post fund-raising in September 2021, the company announced to the bourses that it is pumping capital as part of its capex expansion plan. The company has announced it will invest Rs 4,750 crore until FY 2024. It has commissioned an integrated cement plant at Nawalgarh, Rajasthan, which will be operational by December 2023. The Rajasthan plant consists of 3.5 MTPA cement and 3.8 MTPA clinker facility. The capex also includes a 3 MTPA clinker plant near Purulia, WB. [9]

Projects

According to Mr. H.M. Bangur (MD, Shree Cement Ltd.), Shree Cement is very 'bullish' and are putting up new factories. The new projects include Puralia in West Bengal (to be completed by March 2023), Rajasthan, which is much bigger considering the cost of Rs 3,500 crore (expected to complete between December 2023 and March 2024) and Andhra Pradesh which is just started which is expected to be done by March 2024. The total investment is around Rs 6,500 crore and the plants when completed will add up to 10 mt to the total cement production (current total production is 57 mt). The current target of Shree Cement is to increase their production to 80 mt by 2030.
