The participants are largely from cement and related industry like logistics, user industry, government officials, etc.To commemorate the completion of 25 years, Indian Cement Review will publish the Silver Jubilee issue in August, highlighting the major developments in cement industry in the past 25 years, what shape the industry will assume in next five years and views and perceptions of industry captains on various aspects of cement industry.The current issue covers an in depth analysis of cement prefabricated component industry in India.
