Tansen Cement is being exported from Nepal to India.
Palpa Cement, located at Sunwal 7 in West Nawalparasi, held a function on Friday to formally launch the export of Tansen brand PPC cement to India.
According to RMC Group Managing Director Rajesh Kumar Agrawal, three trucks of cement have been exported to Gorakhpur, India as a test. The industry was acquired by the Indian Standards Institute (ISI) 15 days ago.
RMC Cement, based in Birgunj of RMC Group, had exported some truckloads of cement to India four years ago. As the price of cement increases by more than 90 percent, there is maximum benefit from export.
Various industries were watching the Indian market after the government announced 8 percent cash subsidy for cement export through the budget. While other industries are studying, Palpa has paved the way by exporting.
