set up 40 MW green power units utilizing wastes generated from the cement
plants in various parts of the country. Cement industry does not generate any
downstream material waste. The cement industry constructively utilizes
hazardous wastes viz. fly ash from thermal power plants and Slag produced by
steel industry as raw materials, through recycling, in a major way, in cement
manufacturing process.
(b) : Question does not arise.
