'''Cement Corporation of India Limited''' ('''CCI''') is a [[public-sector undertaking]] of the [[government of India]]. The company was [[incorporation (business)|incorporated]] as a wholly [[government-owned corporation]] on 18 January 1965, with the objective of setting up [[cement]] units in [[public sector]] to help achieve self-sufficiency in [[cement]] [[Manufacturing|production]] in the country.

CCI is based in [[New Delhi]]. The corporation manufactures various types of cements, such as Portland [[pozzolana]] cement (PPC), Portland [[slag cement]] (PSC), and [[Portland cement|ordinary Portland cement]] (OPC) of varying grades - 33, 43,53 and 53S (special grade cement for manufacture of sleepers for [[Indian Railways]]).

CCI currently has three profit making operating units and various regional centers spread over different [[States and territories of India|Indian states and union territories]], with a total annual installed capacity of 38.48 lakh [[Metric ton|tonne]].

==Plants==
The units are spread throughout the country from East (Bokajan in [[Assam]]) to West (Akaltara, Mandhar in [[Chhattisgarh]] and Nayagaon in [[Madhya Pradesh]]) and from North (Rajban in [[Himachal Pradesh]] and Charkhi Dadri in [[Haryana]]) to South (Kurkunta in [[Karnataka]] and [[Adilabad]], [[Tandur]] in [[Telangana]]), with one cement grinding unit in Delhi.

The performance of CCI was adversely affected due to severe liquidity crunch<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/cement-corp-staff-get-no-salaries-for-6-mths-101090801077_1.html | title=Cement Corp Staff Get No Salaries For 6 Mths | date=28 January 2013 | newspaper=[[Business Standard]] | accessdate=8 July 2018 }}</ref> and infrastructural constraints particularly related to power shortage. 7 units out of 10 are non-operational due to various reasons, especially after Mrs Indira Gandhi, the Prime Minister was no more. The company became sick and was referred to [[BIFR]]. BIFR had directed the OA to appoint a merchant banker to explore the sale of CCI as a whole as a going concern basis or its units individually or collectively.<ref>[http://www.financialexpress.com/news/cement-corporation-to-be-privatised-by-yearend/47535/] Cement Corporation To Be Privatised By Year-end-Source-[[The Financial Express (India)|Financial Express]], Monday, 27 May 2002 {{dead link|date=July 2018}}</ref>
