About Barak Valley Cements Limited

Barak Valley Cements Limited (BVCL) is a regional cement manufacturer headquartered in Assam, with its registered office and works located at Debendra Nagar, Jhoombasti, Badarpurghat, Karimganj, and its corporate office in New Delhi. The Company markets its products under the “Valley Strong Cement” brand, catering to a wide range of housing and infrastructure requirements across the North East Region (NER) of India.

BVCL operates entirely within domestic markets, selling 100% of its production within India. The Company does not engage in import or export activities due to the persistent demand–supply gap in the North East, which ensures strong regional market absorption.

The Company is a single-industry entity, focused on cement and cement-related products. Its distribution network spans Mizoram, Manipur, the Barak Valley region and Tripura, serving contractors, builders, institutions and Government agencies.

The Group structure comprises four wholly owned subsidiaries, engaged in complementary activities such as limestone extraction and crushing, cement manufacturing and captive power generation. BVCL’s Corporate Identification Number (CIN) is L01403AS1999PLC005741, underscoring its long-standing industrial presence in Assam.

During FY 2024–25, the Company continued its operational orientation under existing leadership and implemented several process improvements. Turnover declined by 10.83% year-on-year, in line with prevailing market conditions, while the Company maintained consistent service levels across the North East through its established sales and distribution channels.
