The Genesis of NCL Industries Limited (CIN No. L33130AP1979PLC002521) can be traced to the Golden Era of entrepreneurial development in Andhra Pradesh of the early 1980’s. This period marked the emergence of a number of individual entrepreneurs whose founding enterprises evolved into well established industrial groups.

 

Nagarjuna Cement Limited, as the Company was known then, established a mini cement plant at Mattapalli in Nalgonda District to augment the supply of scarce cement with relatively low investment. This has turned out to be a resounding success. The cement produced under the brand name ‘Nagarjuna’ established a premium brand image in the coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh. The company expanded the capacity of the cement plant in stages from 200 TPD to 900 TPD.

 

Also, during the early nineties, NCL diversified its offering by commissioning a particle board plant near its cement plant for the manufacture of ‘Bison Panels’ in technical collaboration with Bison Werke of Germany, the world leaders in particle board technology. NCL has carried out considerable research and development, and introduced a cement bonded particle board suitable for Indian conditions that has the flexibility and adoptability to suit varying requirements.

 

Nagarjuna Cement has seen an exponential growth in productivity and turnover. Cement production capacity increased in two stages.

 

During stage one, clinker capacity increased from 900 tons to 1800 tons at Mattapalli by commissioning a grinding unit at Kondapalli to produce 1000 tons of cement per day, thereby producing a total of 1900 tons per day. 

 

During stage two,  a 3000 tons per day clinker unit at Mattapalli was commissioned to produce an additional 2000 tons per day of cement at Mattapalli and another 2000 tons per day of cement at Kondapalli. A total of 5900 tons per day is being produced which amounts to 2 million tons per annum. Cement production includes Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) & Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). Stage two expansion also includes a railway siding at Kondapalli which will be commissioned shortly.

 

After a spurt in demand for pre-fabricated structures, the capacity of the particle boards factory needed further expansion. Consequently, another Bison plant with increased capacity was commissioned at Poanta Sahib in Himachal Pradesh. This factory is able to meet the demand of the North Indian market which has resulted in considerable savings in freight expenditure.

 

The Prefab Division has registered considerable turnover by undertaking large-scale turnkey projects across the country.

 

NCL's Energy Division's completed hydel power project on right main canal of Srisailam dam is regularly producing 7.5 MW of power 8 months a year. Similarly, the hydel power project completed on right high level canal of Tungabhadra dam is generating 8.25 MW for 9 months a year. These two projects generate consistent annual returns.

 

NCL Industries is committed to ongoing diversification & expansion in the area of building materials and cutting-edge construction technologies.
