New Delhi: Assam-based private cement manufacturer Barak
Valley Cements Ltd (BVCL) is all set to go green with its
6-MW captive biomass power plant ready for commercial
operation.
BVCL manufactures cement at a 460-tonne per day
manufacturing unit in the Karimganj district of Assam.
"The power generated by this plant will meet the entire
energy requirement of the cement production facility and
contribute towards conservation of fossil fuels. This
multi-fuel, environment- friendly power plant will be the
first of its kind in the North-East," BVCL said.
The 6-MW biomass plant, developed by BVCL's wholly-owned
subsidiary Badarpur Energy Pvt Ltd, has been commissioned,
the cement manufacturer informed the Bombay Stock Exchange

"The average cost of power from the plant - which will use
husk, a major byproduct of rice industry, as a fuel - is
estimated to be about Rs 2.20 per unit electricity, " the
