Efforts to revive CCI unit underway, India

The state government of Hyderabad on Monday appointed a consultancy firm to prepare a draft DPR (Detailed Project Report) in an effort to revive the Cement Corporation of India's (CCI) factory in Adilabad district.

The DPR will explore the funds required, available assets and the condition of equipment at the plant which has been closed since 1998.

The government is said to be committed to the revival of the factory, according to Minister Jogu Ramanna. Following a recent meeting between industry officials and the CCI, another official meeting has been convened for the second week of February to further discuss the issue.
