Maharashtra State Power Generation Co Ltd (MAHAGENCO) has invited expressions of interest in developing a cement plant or clinker-grinding unit at or adjacent to its Koradi thermal power station in Maharashtra, India.

The proposed development would use fly ash from the power station as a raw material. Indicative support includes 17ha of leased land and at least 1Mt of fly ash supplied free of charge. Gypsum from the station’s flue-gas desulphurisation system could also be supplied on commercial terms, with electricity and water charged separately.

Interested companies must propose a commercially viable capacity, plant configuration, investment and implementation schedule. The developer would be responsible for financing, construction, operation, statutory approvals and product marketing.
