We have taken up  one  of our kiln with 4000 TPD Clinker production capacity for a planned maintenance activity which was to be completed during early this month. However due to operational  difficulties we had to prolong the shut down. Our technical teams assisted by external experts are working to resolve the defects. However this is resulting in lower production and sales during the current month having an impact on performance of the company during current quarter.OCC management is taking all possible measures to complete the repairs and  maintenance work  and restore the normal production at the earliest.
