1.	Comment on development of cement industry in India.
Answer» The first modern factory of cement in India was started in 1904 at Chennai (Tamil Nadu). Around the same time factories were opened at Lakheri in Rajasthan (by Kilik Nixon Company), at Satna in Madhya Pradesh (by Khatau Company), and at Porbander (by Tata Sons Company). This is the second largest industry in the country in terms of production and employment. India is the second largest producer of cement in the world after China. This industry could be indigenized because of raw materials and cheap transport. Rajasthan is the largest producer of cement in the country.
