| Cement Grinding unit | 0.55 MTPA of Cement Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) | |
| Jojobera | Cement Grinding unit with separate circuits for clinker and slag grinding | 3.4 MTPA of Cement Portland Slag Cement (PSC) & Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) |
| Arasmeta | Clinkerisation unit | 1.6 MTPA of Clinker |
| Cement Grinding unit | 1.6 MTPA of Cement Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) | |
| Mejia | Cement Grinding unit | 1.0 MTPA of Cement Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) |
The plants at Sonadih, Jojobera,Mejia and Arasmeta are based on the dry process technology and use energy efficient processes. The thermal energy of the kiln is optimized by the use of a multistage pre-heater with in-line pre-calciner.
Lafarge worldwide places a very high emphasis on protection of the environment. In all its Indian plants, bag filters and electrostatic precipitators are used to reduce pollution and ensure environment friendly plant operations.
Lafarge India has adopted stringent quality control measures to ensure the highest quality cement .The plants have the benefit of the strong technical and R&D set-up of Lafarge group called DPC which is supported by CTI & CTEO - at Lyon in France, CTS - at Montreal in Canada, ATC - at Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and CTEC - in Austria.
Lafarge Group employs more than 500 scientists and spends more than 100 million euros annually in developing leading technologies in the area of building materials and construction technology. The regular exchange of knowledge and technological improvements between the technical centre and the Indian operations has enabled Lafarge India to improve operational efficiencies on a continuous basis.
