JSW Cement has inaugurated a 6.5km railway siding to transport inbound and outbound cargo for its 2.4Mta facility in Salboni, West Bengal.
"In cement business, logistics accounts for 30-35 per cent of the cement cost and to be cost effective we are continuously working on various levers to reduce this cost. This railway siding is a step in this direction," said Parth Jindal, managing director, JSW Cement.
The railway siding will improve the availability of raw material at the plant and will help to reduce the landed cost, according to Mr Jindal.
