ACC has resumed limestone mining operations at Bargarh, Odisha, after about nine months. The cement major had stopped mining at Bargarh in October following a government notice to suspend operations at this plant. The company stopped clinker production at Chaibasa, Jharkhand, and Bargarh plants, but continued operations of cement grinding units associated with these plants.

ACC resumed limestone mining operations at its captive mines of Chaibasa plant following terms of Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Ordinance 2015. State governments were issued orders to stop mining following a Supreme Court judgement in the matter of Goa Foundation versus Union of India and Others and in Common Cause versus Union of India on deemed renewal of mining leases and subsequent amendment to The Mineral Concession Rules 1960. This judgement affected mining activity of all leaseholders whose mines are on deemed renewal.
