Mention the locational factors which favour the growth of cement industry in India. Name any two states which serve as hinterland for the Haldia port.

Answer»

Manufacturing of cement requires heavy and weight loosing materials and is primarily a raw material-oriented industry. Limestone is the main raw material and on an average 1.5 tonnes of limestone is required to produce one tonne of cement. So, location of a cement plant is based on limestone deposits and also coal which is a major input, as it is used not only as fuel in kiln but also to burn the limestone.
