    In response to the increasing demand for cement, the Addis Ababa and Massawa cement factories were established in 1964 and 1965, respectively, with 70,000 tonnes of clinker per year (tcpa) capacity each. The construction and commissioning of Mugher Cement Factory in 1984 allowed a rapid increase in capacity to 480,000 tcpa after a period of stagnation in the early 1980’s when output had levelled off at about 180,000 tcpa. Mugher Cement Factory (MCF), which was commissioned in 1984 with a capacity of 300,000 tcpa, doubled its capacity to 600,000 tcpa in 1990, with the construction of a second line. The above developments indicate the gradual growth of the cement industry in Ethiopia.…

    Cement Company, in any country, plays a major role in the growth of the nation. Cement industry in India was under full control and supervision of the government. However, it got relief at a large extent after the economic reform. But government interference, especially in the pricing, is still evident in India. In spite of being the second largest cement producer in the world, India falls in the list of lowest per capita consumption of cement with 125 kg. The reason behind this is the poor rural people who mostly live in mud huts and cannot afford to have the commodity. Despite the fact, the demand and supply of cement in India has grown up. In a fast developing economy like India, there is always large…
