Abstract
The Indian cement industry has shown remarkable growth, and under the fourth Five-Year Plan, by the end of 1971, it is expected that the annual production capacity will be approximately 25-26 million tons. The available limestone reserves, the main raw material, are estimated to be about five billion tons. The principal fuel, coal, is also available. Both dry and wet manufacturing processes are adopted. Cement making machinery and electrical motors and control gears are also being manufactured in India. Marketing and sales are handled through the State Cement Corporation; prices are controlled. India, though the second largest country in the world, is the poorest of the nations. In spite of this, India's record of economic development under the Five-Year Plan is satisfactory.
