Roman Ecological Cement Products Pvt. Ltd. ties up with Larsen & Toubro



In a recent event Roman Ecological Cement Products Pvt. Ltd. ties up with an Indian multinational conglomerate Larsen & Toubro (L&T) for providing fly ash to the company to assist manufacturing of Roman Cement Products. The L&T’s Nabha Power plant burns varied kinds of fossil fuels which produces a total capacity of 250 Lakh tones of fly-ash every year which will now be used by Roman Ecological cement products Pvt. Ltd. to manufactures cementitious additives. The agreement was signed with the company on 23rd of April 2015 for a period of 24 years. 

Roman Cement Products are cementitious additives that make up to 15 to 75% of the OPC. Providing more strength and ductility to the cement and making it more sustainable. The company uses this fly-ash, which would otherwise be responsible for landfills, in a unique combination of hydration and pozzolanic reactions acting as the main mechanism for hardening and strengthening the Roman Ecological Cement Based products. 


Roman Cement is a revolutionary initiative taken by Mr. Himanshu Verma the Founder and Managing Director of the company. The company, in collaboration with Reco Cement Products of United States will be manufacturing Carbon dioxide free cementitious additives which are made from recycled products and are especially composed to enhance strength and workability of fresh concrete.

Innovative Developments in Cement & Concrete Technology



The cement industry all over the world is facing a number of challenges which includes diminishing fossil fuel reserves, scarcity of raw materials, perpetually increasing demand for cements and concretes, growing environmental concerns linked to climate change and an ailing world economy. For every single tone of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) produced releases on an average a similar amount of CO2 into the atmosphere, or in total roughly 6% of all man-made carbon emissions. Improved production methods and formulations that reduce or eliminate CO2 emissions from the cement manufacturing process are thus high on the agenda. 

Approximately 3.6 billion tons of cement is produced globally every year. A conservative estimate for every 1 kg of cement produced gives a by-product of 0.9 kg of carbon dioxide this equates to 3.24 billion tonnes of CO2 per year.

Emission reduction is also needed to counter the impacts on product cost of new regulations, green taxes and escalating fuel prices. In this regard, locally available minerals, recycled materials and (industry, agriculture and domestic) waste may be suitable for blending with OPC as substitute, or in some cases replacement, binders. Fly ash, Blast furnace slag and silica fumes are three well known examples of cement replacement materials that are in use today that, like OPC, have been documented and validated both in laboratory tests and in practice. 

The first is a by-product of coal combustion, the second of iron smelting and the third of electric arc furnace production of elemental silicon or ferro silicon alloys. Concrete is a basic building material that will continue to be in demand far into the future. A world without concrete, and its dominant precursor, Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), is hard to imagine. Although there are different types of concrete that have been developed for use in different applications, their common virtues are familiarity, versatility, strength, durability, wide availability, fire resistance, resistance to the elements and comparatively low cost.

Roman Ecological Cement Products Pvt. Ltd. Introduces revolutionary cementitious additives


As a revolutionizing initiative by Roman Ecological Cement Products Pvt. Ltd. it brings the first of its kind complete novel technology in the industry of construction material. It has been possible; thanks to the collaborative efforts of Reco Cement Products of United States of America that it has patents in this innovative technology. Now, what is the buzz all about, it is actually production of cementitious additives which are a replacement for 15-75% of the weight volume of Portland cement. What differentiates it is its ‘Green’ eco-friendly solution which is a unique combination of hydration and pozzolanic reactions acting as the main mechanism for hardening and strengthening the Roman Ecological Cement based products.

Company is running toward achieving their goals by keeping in mind the prospect of producing green concrete products. Roman Ecological Cement’s cementitious additives produces a more durable concrete which is  far less susceptible to corrosion as compared to traditional materials used in OPC,  which has high compressive strength and reduced cost due to lower cost of raw material used.


The question arises that why it gives edge over others, the answer to this is Navrattan cement uses cementitious additives that make up to 75% of the Portland cement giving it more strength and ductility and emitting zero pollution while reducing the cost. Roman Ecological Cement Product's cementitious additives
helps in keeping fly ash and other local materials out of the landfill by using them to make better cement. The Eco-friendly additives augment the quality and prolong the use of existing Portland cement mixes.In power generating plants Fly ash that is available is not so serious concern. It is the by product of combustion of powered coal.

Good news is that the company is bringing in their first plant in few months from now. For the supply of fly ash they have a tie up with  L&T for their Nabha Power Plant that happened on 23rd April, 2015.Now, here are the buzzing waves that it can seriously pioneer the construction industry in the coming months.


Now days, we observe all around the need of the hour is for the sustainable, energy efficient, durable and a pollution free environment, so is the case with construction industry. Roman Ecological Cement Product’s technology is bringing the most Eco-friendly and ‘Green ‘solution to construction industry. Roman Ecological Cement Product’s business strategy is focused on providing green concrete products that conserves energy resources, reduces pollutants and bring green foundations to all type of concrete constructions.


The cementation additive which are made from recycled products and are especially composed to enhance strength, durability and workability of fresh concrete helps to protect environment by not productinhg Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere. The cement thus produced can be marked as ‘Eco-friendly Green’ cement, as it does not pollute the environment during its production process and provides concrete that is qualitatively superior, stronger, less expensive and faster curing than traditional Portland cement. The cementitious additives is a mixture comprising of normal Portland cement, HVFA (High Volume Fly Ash) cement and concrete mixtures that are especially composed for enhancing strength, durability and workability of fresh concrete.

Navrattan Blue Crete Industries - A Novel & Sustainable Concept



The whole world is looking for green alternatives which are Eco-friendly and more sustainable compared to the present day energy resources. We are looking for options which are less polluting to the environment around and surely it will able us to gift a secure future to the upcoming generations.

According to the World Business Council for the sustainable development, cement manufacturing itself is responsible for about 5-8% global CO2 emissions. When this figure is seen globally it becomes real big and a matter of concern. In the buildings the future is looking for more strong and shake resistant infrastructure to keep the loss to the minimum.

Keeping all these facts in mind Navrattan Blue Crete Industries (NBCI) is evolving as the country's first construction material company with "Go Green" methodology. Navrattan Crete is the alternative for the traditional Portland cement while providing the great strength and less energy consumption.

Let's have a look on the various points where it eliminates the feasibility of traditional Portland cement.
1.       As per the test reports, Navrattan Crete is stronger than the Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and possess three times more compressive and tensile strength which is the basis for non-collapsing buildings even in earthquake.
2.       Navrattan Crete production is efficient to about 20-30% in the energy resource utilization which directly cuts the production cost.
3.       Navrattan Blue Crete Industries are the sole manufacturers in India going with the "Go Green" initiatives which can help you attain more LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) points in the "Energy & Atmosphere” category.
4.      Buildings constructed with Navrattan Crete emits lesser greenhouse gases compared to the conventional buildings built with Portland cement.
5.       Navrattan Crete is hydrophobic which alternatively means a high resistance towards water, acids, corrosion, sulphates so that you can look for options like waterproof basement, pipe coatings, waste water tanks and fish farms etc.
6.       Over the time Navrattan Crete doesn't dry or crack whereas the traditional Portland cement is not so ideal in this.


The company is lead under the able guidance of Mr. Himanshu Verma who is the Founder & Managing Director of NBCI. He is playing a crucial role in taking conversations with the national and international clients to make up the green go further. He is also handling the finances. Also contributing to company's growth is Mr. Prithvi Singh serving as the Director and guiding and the team to achieve the goal of green and sustainable development.

The company's approach to provide sustainable and cost effective product to the world is commendable and will drive the nation to a greener and cleaner tomorrow. It is a far sighted initiative to continuously improve the product and services and bring economical development to the country.
