Ultratech Cement eyes Jaffna firm

Ultratech Cement, an Aditya Birla group company, has decided to throw its hat in the ring to acquire the 5 lakh tonne capacity Kankesanthurai cement plant at Jaffna, which is lying closed for more than 17 years.
"The Aditya Birla group will put forward a proposal to acquire the plant and efforts are on in this direction. But no decision has been taken by the Sri Lankan government", a top official said.
A delegation from the company was scheduled to meet the government officials and the plant representatives.
