About Dalmia Cement
We have cement plants in southern states of Tamil Nadu (Dalmiapuram & Ariyalur) and
Andhra Pradesh (Kadapa), with a capacity of 9 million tonnes per annum. A leader in cement
manufacturing since 1939, DCBL is a multi spectrum Cement player with double digit
market share and a pioneer in super specialty cements used for Oil wells, Railway sleepers
and Air strips. We also hold a stake of 45.4 % in OCL India Ltd., a major cement Player in
the Eastern Region, and now control a cement capacity of 14.3 million tonnes & has a strong
presence in Southern & Eastern Regions of the Country.
What makes us unique is our constant ability to innovate. On the key efficiency parameters,
we rank right up there with the best in the industry. We have set up over 53 windmills in
Muppandal (Tamil Nadu) to generate inexpensive and eco-friendly captive power for our
plant. This power is wheeled through the State utility transporter for consumption at the plant.
With the plant located close to its source of raw materials, we keep our freight and transport
costs low, giving it an edge over competition. Over 65 per cent of the cement consumption in
India is catered to by the retail segment where branding and distribution are the critical
drivers for leadership. And it is in this that we enjoy an edge over our competitors. We are the
only single unit cement manufacturer to successfully market our brands in core markets at
prices on par with those of large consolidated/national players. In our focus area of Tamil
Nadu and Kerala, which are among the fastest growing in cement consumption, we enjoy a
significant market share today. Our brands enjoy a very high recall among consumers and
influencers while our relationships with our dealers are very strong. In fact, in some cases
these relationships go back three generations.
Our USP is innovation, which has given us a leadership position in niche but fast-growing
market segments.
Our Defining Points
Our efforts in sustaining growth with responsibility have merited us many notable awards for
Energy Conservation & Efficiency, Safety, Health & Environment issues from the
Government and other reputed agencies. In 2004, Dalmia became an ISO 14001 Certified
company. Today, we stand as one of the most profitable players in the industry, with
sustainable high margins and strong financial backing our efforts.
Our history
Founded in 1935 by Jaidayal Dalmia; the cement division of DCBL was established in 1939
and enjoys a heritage of 70 years of expertise and experience. We are headquartered in New
Delhi with cement, sugar, travel agency, magnesite, refractory and electronic operations
spread across the country.
The Dalmia Group had established four cement plants in pre-independence years, two of
which were affected by the partition and Independence. The two remaining plants operate as
Dalmia Cement and we have also made strategic investment in Orissa Cements
Limited(OCL). Managed by a professional team, we have sustained the path to innovation
and growth for seven decades.
Early on in our history we learnt that a strong business is an amalgamation of strong
relationships. The key to establishing such relationships is to learn from each other, to enjoy a
spirit of camaraderie, and to recognize and identify with their needs of the people we work
with. Today with their rich experience we have been able to broaden our horizons to include
a holistic approach to the best practices in the industry.
DCBL prides itself on having been at the forefront of pioneering and introducing many new
technologies, which exist today, which are followed by others in the industry. DCBL has
been and continues to be an industry leader in the niche market segments.
This timeline highlights some of the significant moments that took place over the years and
shows how our business has evolved.

Our Essence
The year 1939 saw the establishment of one of India’s first cement plants with an installed
capacity of 250 tonne cement per day-we as DCBL had just arrived. The plant today has
grown by manifolds in terms of capacity. We as a group too have expanded both in terms of
vision as well as business interests ranging from harnessing of the bounty of iron-ore and
magnesite in the country, Travel and export activities. These diversifications were an effort to
build and contribute to the development of basic industrial materials. The year 1993 saw us
foraying into the Sugar business with an installed capacity of 2500 TCD. Today alongwith
the Cement business, Sugar business is one of the key growth engines of DCBL.
Apart from establishing our footprints across various business segments we have also kept up
our pace of excellence. In 1993, DCBL became the first company in South India to obtain
ISO 9002 certification and second in the country among the Indian Cement Plants. In 2004,
we became an ISO 14001 Certified company. Our efforts in sustaining growth with
responsibility have merited us many notable awards for Energy Conservation & Efficiency,
Safety, Health & Environment issues from the Government and other reputed agencies.
Today, we stand as one of the most profitable players in the industry, with sustainable high
margins and strong financials backing our efforts. Our vision which balanced the changing
needs with our corporate imperatives, our organization has grown over the years taking us to
new heights and building onto our strengths. Today we stand on a strong foundation of high
organizational values and business ethics through which we have cemented our growth.
Our business has year on year moved up the value chain with a consistent record of making
profits and paying dividends, making the company financially strong and stable. With a total
income of over Rs 2194 crores DCBL has business interests in two major segments, Cement
and Sugar. Our objective is to grow further and be among the top manufacturing industries
today. In this course, our cement business has grown with an increased production capacity
from 1.5 million tonnes [MT] in the past to the current installed capacity of 9 MT. Also our
sugar business since its commencement in 1994, has grown to have three Integrated Sugar
Mills in the State of Uttar Pradesh with total installed capacity of 22,500 tonnes of cane crush
per day leading to sugar manufacturing of about 300,000 MT per annum, distillery capacity
of 80 KL per day & cogeneration facility. With the launch and commencement of its two
Greenfield projects in the Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh and Ariyalur in Tamil Nadu
with a total 5MN tonnes capacity, DCBL has expanded its cement footprint in the Southern
India. DCBL also holds a stake of 45.4 % in OCL India Ltd., a major cement Player in the
Eastern Region. Dalmia Cement now controls a cement capacity of 14.3 million tonnes & has

newthink! DRIVING INNOVATION
Innovation is the ability to improvise, to craft a new and better from a given sub-set of variables. In life initiative we have internalized innovation for over 70 years in processes and systems; and our businesses and mindsets. We began our first cement plant 1939. A first in southern India. We pioneered the craft and production of oil well and railway sleeper cement in India, besides introducing substantial product improvements for Portland/ generic cement. We institutionalized innovation in the our companies through a dedicated Cement and Concrete R&D lab, with state-of-the-art concrete technology, research experts and high end infrastructure : building blocks for the next stage of our innovation story.
Our efforts to innovate are not limited to products; it is manifest across everything we do. The Japanese concept of continuous improvement - Kaizen, is followed for our packaging as well where we try to optimize bag sizes, compositions, strengths, bio-degradability and design in accordance with the weekly cement batches from our plants. Our newly commissioned plants – Ariyalur (Tamil Nadu) and Kadapa (Andhra Pradesh) have been identified and acknowledged as one of the best in Asia for best-in-class technology and robotics which allows us to automate cement sampling and testing. This enables us to conduct a 24X7 monitoring on the quality of our cement with zero error margins. In the field of supply chain and billing we have introduced Enterprise Mobility Solutions that help us keep our inventory database updated on real time basis and enable us to act with speed and priority. Our alliance with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR), a leading global investment firm helped us Cenable operational optimization and achieving sustainable business.
We cherish our legacy and seek to evolve day-by-day through fresh ideas, perspectives, questions and imagination. Therefore, our motto: Newthink! Driving Innovation.

Dalmia Sugar
What we believe in
Sugar sector holds immense potential in providing food & energy security for the country which is going to be one of the most important developmental prerequisites in next 5-10 years. This potential can only be realized with the right mix of regulations, connect with the farmers, modernization and professionalization of the industry. We are working towards making this happen.
About our sugar business
Our foray into sugar business was made in mid-Nineties and first unit of 2500 TCD was set up at Village Ramgarh in Sitapur district of U.P. in 1994. During 2006-07, company embarked on a major growth path by setting up two Greenfield plants at Jawaharpur (Dist. Sitapur, U.P.) and Nigohi (Dist. Shahjahanpur, U.P.) and expanding existing facilities at Ramgarh unit. The total cane crushing capacity of the company is now 22500 TCD which makes us one of the leading sugar producers in the country. We are now a fully integrated player with 79 MW of cogeneration capacity & a distillery of 80 KLPD. We also have facilities for processing of raw sugar.
These state-of-the-art facilities serve as a role model for the industry and have achieved excellence in plant operational metrics and also have a technological leadership position in the industry. We have robust quality systems and have also embarked upon 5S & TPM initiatives to create world-class systems & processes.
Due to this emphasis on world class systems, we produce sugar of high quality which has found wide acceptance in markets in U.P. & eastern India and institutional buyers such as Pepsi, Coke, Britannia, Bharati Wal-Mart, Parle etc. who have stringent quality norms.
The team has taken a number of initiatives to drive sustainable growth, lasting competitive advantage & efficiencies in all aspects of operations. It has also taken on a proactive role at industry level and has been instrumental in driving many policy & regulatory changes in the
sugar and renewable energy sector.
Sustainable development
This is our guiding principal in the sugar business driving our vision, strategy and actions.
We continue contributing to income & employment creation opportunities in the local economy, infrastructure development, promotion of sustainable farming techniques, improvement of sugarcane yields, propagation of higher recovery sugarcane varieties etc. For improving service delivery to farmers we have leveraged technology - IVRS, SMS based information dissemination systems, Hand-held Terminals at cane purchasing centers and GPS devices for cane survey being a few of these.
We are also credited with pioneering achievements in registration of our cogeneration power projects under CDM (Clean Development Mechanism). All our plants are registered under this mechanism and are helping in global efforts to mitigate impact of greenhouse gas emissions. We produce ethanol which is a green fuel from the sustainable molasses route. From the distillery waste, we produce bio-compost which is organic manure.
At the plant level the constant focus is on energy conservation and energy efficient operations. A bio-methanation plant is being installed at the distillery for energy generation from distillery waste. Water re-use & recycling to minimize fresh water usage is a constant focus area.

CSR MISSION
We are committed to creating exceptional value for our customers, employees, shareholders, vendors and the communities we operate in and above all the nation, through our core values of Learning, Excellence, Teamwork and Speed
A message from our Managing Directors
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a western concept looks upon itself as a business imperative for generating good will for the business amongst different stakeholders. While we do not deny that doing good for the society will ultimately have positive impact on the business, this is not the prime driver behind our endeavors in this space. Philosophically, for us, our understanding of corporate responsibility towards society has its roots in our tradition, culture and ethos.
Sharing our good fortune and income with the needy and less fortunate is an integral part of all major religions of the world. India, one of the oldest civilizations of the World, has a 5000 year old tradition where the blessed and the more fortunate sections of the society took care of the societal welfare. We at Dalmia Bharat Group, believe in the concept of giving back and sharing with Society. And for more than seven decades, we have followed this concept of giving back and sharing with the under privileged sections of the society.
Our CSR programmes are centered on livelihood, children and education, and basic healthcare. We are operational in 30 villages, touching a population of over 50,000 people. During the financial year 2010-11, our programmes directly benefitted almost 15,000 people, the details of which are available in this report.
During the financial year 2010-11, Indian economy, on the back of excellent performance in agriculture, clocked 8.5% GDP growth. On the Human Development Index, India has moved 13 positions in the last 2 years from 132 in 2009 to 119 in 2011 (Human Development Report 2010, UNDP). Despite these encouraging developments, India continues to have millions of its citizens officially below the poverty line. It would take perhaps a decade of current pace of growth before we would be in a position to say that India is well on its way to be a developed country.
Keeping this background in view, we at Dalmia Bharat Group stay committed for bringing down the incidence of poverty and suffering in the villages around our plant locations. We would also like to take this opportunity to reiterate our commitment towards society and environment as a responsible corporate citizen.
We as responsible Corporate Citizens are committed to working closely with government, non-governmental agencies, and all other stakeholders to play our role in lending support to
the collective development efforts to ensure that India and Indians can report inclusive growth and prosperity.
The corporate sector in India is also waking up to the realities of environmental challenges such as climate change and global warming and how they can adversely affect us all in the years to come. We are committed to managing our business operations responsibly to ensure that we have a net positive impact on the environment.
In conclusion, we would like to reiterate our commitment to play an active role in partnership with all key stakeholders for making this world a better place for all.
Mission and Our Approach
Our Mission
We are committed to being catalysts in the transformation of the communities around our business operations through partnership with local communities, government, NGOs and other stakeholders
The CSR Mission of DBGF is derived from the Values Pledge of Dalmia Bharat Group which states
“We are committed to creating exceptional values for our customers, employees, shareholders, vendors and the communities we operate in and above all the nation, through core values of Learning, Excellence, Teamwork and Speed”
Our Approach
There are 2 simple components of our approach :
1. Making significant and sustainable difference
Our CSR approach is distinct from Charity where out of compassion help is given to poor and needy. While we acknowledge the power of charity, DBGF because of its focus on making a significant and sustainable difference, develops its programmes that make a long-term difference in the lives of its targeted beneficiaries.
2. Forging Partnerships
We at DBGF firmly believe in the power of partnerships and thus work closely with a diverse set of stakeholders
Local Community and Representatives
All our programmes start with a needs assessment done by closely involving the local community and village leaders. Subsequently we involve the local leaders both at the time of formulation and implementation of the programmes.
Non-Governmental Organisations
Our programmes are implemented by reputed national and international NGOs, who have extensive experience of working with the poor and rural households in the areas of livelihood, education and health and hygiene.
Government
We believe that we can be a bridge between the Government and rural poor in our targeted villages. We are collaborating with state rural development department, district administration and departments like animal husbandry, agriculture, health etc as also development institutions like NABARD.

Livelihood And Income Generation
1) Ramakrishna Dalmia Industrial Training Institute
Empowering Individuals With Skills for A Better Life. To enhance the employability of the rural youth of the nearby villages of Dalmiapuram, in the year 1992, Shri Ramakrishna Dalmia Industrial Training Centre (SRD ITC) was established. Since its inception the institute has been developing basic technical skills of high relevance thereby meeting the requirement of the industry and enhancing employment opportunities for the rural youth. In any given batch, at least 60 students are
trained in trades of: Instrument Mechanic, Motor Vehicle and Fitter. A Centre of Excellence today, the Institute has produced 98% results on an average in the last 3 years.
2) Dalmia Institute of Construction
A serious and clear demand-supply mismatch is visible in the construction skills and employment of youth, particularly rural youth. We realized that we could make a small contribution in this area by training eligible youth on supervisory skills for construction sector jobs. And, thus Dalmia Institute of Construction, or DIC, was established in 2008 at Thillainagar in Trichy.
Through a series of practical sessions in our own construction sites, students are trained on best practices in all essential civil construction methods and cement applications. The students also learn about latest manufacturing technologies during their exposure visits. We ensure 100% placement of the trainees through follow-up with industry and campus interviews. Our students have been placed in the range of Rs. 7,000 to Rs. 9,000 per month as supervisors.
Due to the success of our institute in Trichy, we plan to start fresh batches in the cities of Madurai and Coimbatore.
Health and Sanitation
Basic Health -
With the approach of bridging the gap in accessing welfare measures offered by the government and needs of the community, we designed our programme in such a way that our varied health interventions could percolate through to the last tier of the society. Since our founding we have made impressive progress in improving the health conditions of the people by reaching to them in some of the remotest locations. So far, we have organized many health awareness programmmes, camps for ante natal, post natal care/treatment, screening camps for diabetes, dental hygiene and cardiac care and substantial awareness created on preventable diseases. As a result, in about 26 villages across all cement and sugar locations, we have directly or indirectly been able to touch the lives of almost 60,000 people.
Our diverse health programmes through camps, immunization and post/pre natal care, weekly clinics and collaboration with primary health care have benefitted and saved the health of women and children. Dedicated efforts are made to bring incidence of diabetes and BP to medical attention. We also worked to raise awareness on day to day health care and thereby reducing the percentage of opportunistic and seasonal infections people in rural areas generally face. More than 500 beneficiaries received regular and routine medical and health attention including seasonal diseases and illness, resulting in improved healthcare and well being. Special consideration was given to the programme of Maternal and Child Health Care across all locations.
More than 400 beneficiaries, including 250 women and children were provided special medical attention (Ante and Post Natal Care), immunization and nutrition, as part of the government programme. In Jawaharpur (Uttar Pradesh), Nutrition and Health Day is celebrated regularly where pregnant women and children upto the age of 5 years are immunized to fight against all vaccine preventable disease.
Sanitation & Health Awareness – Construction of 154 toilets in Kadapa has resulted in improved health and behavior practices. In particular, this has reduced drudgery for women and girls.
Energy Conservation and Environment Management
The Go Green Drive Each year, our manufacturing plants are assigned with a theme by the organization and an award has been instituted, called Managing Director's Awards, for best performance on the theme.
For the year 2010-2011, the theme was Go Green with the clear objective of greatly enhancing our efforts on environmental performance.
Tree Plantation Drive In Dalmiapuram, Tamil Nadu, approximately 14,000 trees have been planted to increase the green cover. We also involved the supply chain in the programme and 265 trees were planted by dealers. 11,000 sq. mtr area has been converted into a lawn with plants and trees
At Nigohi, 5,000 new plants have been developed in residential and unused areas within the Plant premises. In Ariyalur, Tamil Nadu 40,000 trees have been planted around plant location to maintain ecological balance. In order to nurture a green belt 25,000 trees were planted to make the plant a green belt development area in Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh.
20,000 saplings of Jatropha have been planted in the waste lands of our mines, to be used as feed stock for biodiesel as well as in the kiln as an alternate fuel.
Waste Utilization and Management
In Dalmiapuram, as part of Responsible Industrialisation initiative 18.9 metric tons of waste plastics were collected from the residential areas, plant & neighboring villages and used in our Kiln to save 56 million kilo calories of energy. At Nigohi, efforts have been made towards develop A Zero-Waste Society. In this direction, the waste material are segregated & disposed off as per standard norms
In Ariyalur, Value from waste was created by segregating the waste into different forms and recycled into making compost and vermi culture.
Water Conservation Management
At Nigohi, there has been a reduction in the amount of water that was sourced for our plant operations as well as in the release of effluents. Between different plant activities, a total of 1,000 cubic meters per day is saved. Similarly in Dalmiapuram, a rain water harvesting capacity of 20,000 cubic metres has been created in our abandoned mines. This has helped recharge ground water and avoid water inundation.
In Ariyalur, Several streams of water have been connected through a common channel to a pond size of 40,000 cubic metres. This has helped recharge ground water thus improving
energy efficiency as well.
The water filtered out of the RO system is recycled and used for watering the plants. Similarly, waste water from boiler is used for running critical plant operations saving precious water and energy otherwise used for bore wells.
A very similar effort in Kadapa resulted in harvesting water of 100,000 cubic metres. As the borewell power is no more used by people for drawing water, this has also resulted in energy saving of 1,000 units of power per day. Besides, the Kadapa plant now only uses waste water from the sewage treatment plant (STP) for cement production process instead of fresh water. This has saved precious water and has resulted in power saving of 250 units per day. We estimate, on a per day basis, we bring down the carbon emission to at least 250 kilogrammes due to the reduced usage of power for drawing water.
Our Initiative
We now only use waste water in our cement production process which saves considerable amounts of fresh water. Usage of Sewage Treatment Plant water has resulted in savings of 250 units of water per day, equivalent to a reduction in CO2 emission of 250 kilogrammes a day.
Sustainable Development and Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
In the financial year 2010-11, Jawaharpur project of the company was registered as a CDM project.
With this, the company has taken another giant stride towards contributing to climate change mitigation and sustainable development at a global level. Our sugar plant at Ramgarh project is already registered and we expect to get our third sugar plant in the state of Uttar Pradesh, Nigohi, also registered during FY2012. These three projects combined will result in annual reduction of over 100,000 MT of CO2 emissions.
Environmental Monitoring, Training & Awareness
At our Ariyalur plant location, a weather and environment monitoring system has been installed for online weather monitoring which measures temperature, relative humidity, wind direction, wind velocity and rainfall. All our plant locations impart regular training to all employees on environmental aspects.
Basic Infrastructure Our Initiatives
Rapid urbanization over the last five decades is changing our country’s landscape and also generating formidable challenges for supplies of water and basic infrastructure, it has been our honest endeavor to deliver reliable and quality infrastructure thereby creating a better living standard.
Community Infrastructure initiatives in Brief:
1) In villages in and around CSR implementation villages, Dalmia has had funded for the laying, paving and maintenance of Building of roads thud help in safe and easy commuting of the community.2) Our financial contribution has helped in the construction of a tube well along with a pipeline spanning 2 kilometers in length in one of the nearby villages in Andhra Pradesh.3) Construction of Community Centre/building for preschool kids in Palinganatham village.4) Provided funds for the construction of a rehabilitation centre for street and destitute children.5) Have donated brand new musical instruments for poor and needy children interested in learning music.
