Operations resume at Awarpur plant, India

Operations have resumed at UltraTech’s Awarpur cement plant in the state of Maharashtra following a temporary closure due to strike action.

The 3.6Mta has been shut since 14 March 2013 due to worker’s unrest but were restarted yesterday morning.

UltraTech said in a filing to the stock exchanges that "operations at the aforesaid unit [Awarpur Cement Works] have since resumed from March 14, 2013."

India's largest cement company had said on 1 March that the stoppage would not have a major impact on its financials.
