Factors Responsible for Localisation:
The cement industry needs a lot of raw material; therefore, the cement industry is established in such areas where raw – materials (limestone and gypsum) are available in abundant quantity. There are reserves of 2.5 billion tons of limestone in Rajasthan. According to this viewpoint, Chittorgarh and Sawai Madhopur are the most suitable districts for the localisation of the cement industry.
Important producing regions:
Following are major growing regions in Rajasthan. The factories of white cement are situated in Gotan (Nagaur) and Kharia Khangar (Jodhpur). The number of cement factories is regularly increasing in western districts of the state in the last several years. The main reasons for this are the availability of enough water through canals and sufficient power supply through alternative sources. At present times, the establishment of small – scale units is given priority due to less power requirement and less production cost.
The geological conditions in Rajasthan are very favourable to this industry. By using modern technology and solving related problems, the cement industry can be motivated, and cement production can increase at minimum cost.
