About 32% of our raw material used for cement making has waste origin. We are helping the coal based thermal power plants and steel manufacturing units of the country to dispose their waste i.e. fly ash and slag by using it as a raw material in cement production. We are also using Petroleum Coke as a main kiln fuel. This is a waste from refinery and it helps in reduction of limestone waste at our captive mines due to its low ash content. e) Industry participation in construction of public/community toilets and to the effective behavioral change regarding healthy sanitation practices And f) I Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Limited is a member company of WASH Pledge of WBCSD.
