History

Shree Cement was incorporated in 1979 by Benu Gopal Bangur. In 1983, it commissioned its first plant in Rajasthan, with production beginning in 1985. In 1995, Bangur's family gained full control of the business. Bangur's son Hari Mohan Bangur, who had joined his father after graduating from IIT Bombay in 1975, is the current head of the company. In 2003, Hari Mohan Bangur's son Prashant Bangur too joined the business. [8]

In 2018, Shree Cement acquired UAE-based Union Cement, which had a capacity of 4mt in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, for $305 million. [9]

In November 2019, the company raised Rs 2,399.99 crore through a qualified institutional programme. Nearly two years later, post fund-raising in September 2021, the company announced that it is infusing capital as part of its capex plans. The company announced it will invest Rs 4,750 crore until FY 2024. It commissioned an integrated cement plant at Nawalgarh, Rajasthan, which will be operational by December 2023.
