In 1930 “Cement Marketing Company of India” was started and this was followed by a quota system on the basis of installed capacity of the factories. In 1936, all the cement companies except one i.e. Sonevalley Portland Cement Company agreed and formed Associated Cement Companies Ltd. (ACC). This was the most important even in the history of cement industry in India. Many more companies were established in the following years. Before partition India had 24 factories, out of which India retained 19 factories, which annual production of 2.1 million tons. Pakistan faced a problem at the supply side as it had problem of disposal of the cement produced and India faced a problem in demand side as production fell to 2.1 million tons from 2.7 million tons. After Independence, the partition of the country had a bad impact on the cement industry. In 1948, the government adopted the Cement Expansion Scheme which envisaged new factories to increase the production. New factories were established at Bagalkot, Jaipur, Orissa, Travancore etc. In 1950-51, there were 22 operating units with an installed capacity of 3.3 million tons. Cement industry was given a great importance in all the initial five year plans. The target of the first five year plan was to raise the installed capacity to 5.4 million tons which was achieved. The industry has grown to manifold since then.
