Indian Cement Companies to Invest Rs 13,000 Crore in Green Energy Capacity by 2028
India's major cement companies plan to invest Rs 13,000 crore to increase green energy capacity from 4 GW in 2026 to around 6 GW by 2028, aiming to reduce emissions and energy costs. This expansion could save Rs 6,200-6,700 crore annually with a payback period of 1.8-2.2 years. The sector targets net-zero emissions over 15-20 years by combining green power with alternative fuels, blended cement, and efficiency improvements, addressing significant emissions from calcination, fuel combustion, and electricity use.
