Mile Stones in the history Click here to goto photo gallary Despite its difficult terrain and perilous conditions at the deposit, Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation (KSIDC) obtained the Industrial License for setting up of the unit in November 1976. The Malabar Cements Limited thus came into existence at Walayar, Palakkad district. The company is all equipped to set precedence among public sector units in the state. A 2.5 MW multi-fuel power plant was commissioned in June 1998 to complement 25% of the total power requirement for the Walayar plant operations. |

The company has updated the plant with state of the art technology in time. Belt bucket elevators, Kiln automation, modification to cement mill internals etc, are few to mention. The 0.42 million tones capacity , less than 10% of the cement consumption in Kerala, restricts the company to harness the markets beyond its core segment. Now a 600 TDP clinker grinding unit at Cherthala in Alappuzha district has been commissioned. The Rs. 310 million investment for the plant was met from the internal generation. Another similar capacity unit is on the anvil for which foundation stone has already been laid at Panakkad in Malappuram district, Kerala. |
