Incorporated in 1981 HICS Cements Ltd (HCL) did not make any progress for the next 10 years as it could not get any term loan.

HCL is setting up two plants in Gujarat with individual capacities of 200 tpd and 260 tpd. The Rs 10.82-cr project was mainly funded by a public issue in Sep.'95.One advantage for HCL is its own leasehold mine at Rajkot.
