Saurashtra Cement Ltd has announced a planned temporary shutdown of its kiln at its plant at Ranavav in Gujarat for 20 days from July 25, 2025. It is part of the company's annual maintenance schedule to maintain long-term operational efficiency and dependability of its production facilities.
Key points of the announcement are:
Shutown Kiln Period: The kiln at Ranavav plant will be down for 20 days from July 25, 2025, due to scheduled monthly maintenance.
Cement Dispatch Continues: Despite kiln shutdown, the company maintained smooth cement dispatches from the Ranavav plant during the maintenance period.
Sidheegram Plant Operation: Sidheegram plant based in Gujarat runs at full capacity and has normal dispatch operations without any glitch.
Business Continuity: Saurashtra Cement is careful to see that the ongoing maintenance of kilns will not impact supply chain and customer commitments due to operational backup and dispatch arrangements.
This careful maintenance planning with continuous dispatch operations is a sign of proactive management of the company to ensure a steady supply of cement even during shutdown periods.
