13 Apr 2011 Evaluate

Reliance Cementation, the cement arm of the Anil Ambani Group, is redrawing its business plans independent of its power sector growth. It is focusing on inorganic opportunities and has zoomed on the Andhra Pradesh market for a possible acquisition. The company in focus is Sree Jayajothi Cements (SJJC) with whom Reliance Cementation is currently negotiating for a possible purchase. If the deal is successful, it would be the first such acquisition for the ADA Group. Reliance Cementation (RCPL) is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reliance Infrastructure.
Jayajothi Cements, is part of the diversified Jayajothi Group of Tamil Nadu with revenues in excess of Rs 300 crore. Even though textile is its main business, currently the group’s activities spread across cement, transportation, education and even power and energy management. Jayajothi’s cement operations in Andhra Pradesh are a relatively newer business. Set up in 2006, the company claims to have a 3.2 million tone per annum (mtpa) Greenfield cement plant and a 2 million tone per annum clinker facility in the Kurnool district.  SJJC’s limestone reserves, sufficient for its capacity and future expansions, are also in the same district. It has three limestone mines, and are in various stages of getting ministerial and environmental clearances.
