प्रश्न
Mention the locational factors which favor the growth of the cement industry in India.
उत्तर
Manufacturing of cement requires heavy and weight losing materials and is primarily a raw material-oriented industry. Limestone is the main raw material and an average of 1.5 tonnes of limestone is required to produce one tonne of cement. So, the 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 the kiln but also to burn the limestone.
