Copenhagen-based FLSmidth & Co has said that it will supply technology and equipment for a 3,000-tonne cement plant that will be built by Larsen & Toubro (L&T) in Tamil Nadu.
In a statement, FLSmidth said it has signed an agreement with L&T, India?s largest engineering company. The company did not disclose the value of the contract for the plant, which will come up Ariyalur, approximately 300 km south of Chennai.
The plant is being built for Tamil Nadu Cement Corp Ltd (TANCEM), a wholly owned undertaking of the Tamil Nadu government, with whom L&T has an EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) contract.
The Chennai order for FLSmidth includes a complete range of equipment from crushing to packing plant and is expected to deliver it over the next 16 months. "The project combines the strengths of FLSmidth as a leading supplier of the most productive and energy-efficient cement plants, and that of L&T as a reliable construction player.
