Hike in slag prices hits mini cement units, India
Encouraged by the incentives, around 50 slag-based mini cement plants, each with an investment of Rs 1 to 1.5 crore, were set up in Visakhapatnam, Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and East Godavari districts during 1995 and 1998. Initially, VSP had supplied slag at Rs 80 per tonne. Later, it gradually increased the price to Rs 240 per tonne.
