India Cements Limited was founded in the year 1946 by Shri S N N Sankaralinga Iyer and Sri T S Narayanaswami. They had the vision to inspire dreams for an industrial India, the ability to translate those dreams into reality and the ability to build enduring relationships and the future. Sri T S Narayanaswami, the banker turned industrialist, was the catalyst who saw the project cross through numerous hurdles and emerge as a viable and marketable proposition. He looked beyond cement and ventured into aluminium, chemicals, plastics and shipping. A pioneer industrialist and visionary, Sri T S Narayanaswami played a dynamic role in the resurgence of industrialisation in free India. From a two plant company having a capacity of just 1.3 million tonnes in 1989, India Cements has robustly grown in the last two decades to a total capacity of 15.5 million tonnes per annum. After the approval of a Scheme of Amalgamation and arrangement between Trinetra Cement Ltd and Trishul Concrete Products Ltd with The India Cements Limited, all the cement assets have come under one roof - India Cements Limited. India Cements Limited has now 8 integrated cement plants in Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan and two grinding units, one each in Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. While retaining cement over the years as its mainstay, India Cements Limited has ventured into related fields like shipping, captive power and coal mining that have purposeful synergy to the core business. This also stemmed from the company’s strategy of emerging as an integrated pan India player to combat uncertainties in securing energy and other inputs in the supply chain at competitive costs.
