Adani Group-owned Ambuja Cement Ltd (ACL) on August 3 announced an investment of around ₹1,600 crore in Bihar to set up a cement grinding unit at Warisaliganj in Nawada district.

With this announcement, the billionaire Gautam Adani-led firm has become “the largest investment in the State by a cement industry player”.
“The project will meet the growing infrastructure needs of Bihar, aligning with priorities outlined in the recent Union Budget,” it said.
In the latest Union Budget 2024-25, the Narendra Modi-led government unveiled big-ticket projects for Bihar, proposing a total outlay of over ₹60,000 crore for various projects, including funding for three expressways, a power plant, heritage corridors and new airports and sports infrastructure.
