Advancing LC³ in Telangana: Unlocking Market Readiness for Low-Carbon Cement

Telangana’s strong cement manufacturing base, abundant limestone reserves, and potential for clay resources create a strong foundation for advancing Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC³) as a low-carbon cement solution.

The stakeholder consultation on “Advancing LC³ in Telangana: Unlocking Market Readiness for Low-Carbon Cement”, hosted by TARA and Climate Group, in collaboration with NCB and South Indian Cement Manufacturers' Association (SICMA), brought together diverse stakeholders from government, industry, mining and geology, research and academia to identify practical pathways for accelerating LC³ adoption.

The discussions highlighted a set of priorities to move from resource potential to market readiness:

→ Build the raw material evidence base through systematic mapping, quantification and characterisation of suitable clay resources.

→ Demarcate mines and address the jurisdiction of minor minerals to strengthen access to suitable raw materials.

→ Explore pathways to make low-grade and reject materials readily available for LC³ production.

→ Address investment risks associated with LC³ production and identify mechanisms to mitigate them.

→ Strengthen intergovernmental collaboration and synergies to enable coordinated action.

→ Position Telangana’s cement production ecosystem for LC³ adoption, building on its existing industrial strengths and market potential.

The message was clear: Scaling LC³ is not simply a technology challenge. It requires an enabling ecosystem - from raw materials and investment to institutions, industry readiness and market demand. The Hyderabad consultation marks an important step towards translating Telangana’s resource and industrial potential into actionable pathways for a low-carbon, resource-efficient cement and construction sector.

TARA and Climate Group is grateful to NCB and SICMA, along with all participating stakeholders, for their valuable contributions and commitment to advancing LC³ adoption in Telangana.

| A Consultation Workshop on Advancing LC³ in Telangana

Leaders from government, the cement industry, research institutions, and academia have come together in Hyderabad to explore pathways for advancing LC³ (Limestone Calcined Clay Cement) and unlocking market readiness for low-carbon cement in Telangana.

The workshop has brought together representatives from UltraTech Cement, the South Indian Cement Manufacturers' Association (SICMA), the Department of Mines & Geology, Government of Telangana, the National Council for Cement and Building Materials (NCB), Department of Irrigation, Housing Corporation, R&B department, BIS, and other key stakeholders from the construction ecosystem.

Through expert-led discussions and collaborative dialogue, participants are identifying practical pathways to accelerate the adoption of low-carbon cement and support a more sustainable built environment.

Stay tuned for highlights and key takeaways from the workshop.

Every building is a climate decision. 

The materials we choose today will shape not only our skylines but also our carbon future for decades to come. 

LC³ (Limestone Calcined Clay Cement) offers a practical pathway to reduce emissions from one of the most carbon-intensive sectors, turning sustainable construction from aspiration into action. 

This consultation workshop brings together policymakers, industry leaders, and academia to explore the technological, geological, market, and policy dimensions of LC³ adoption in Telangana. 

Because the future of infrastructure will be measured not only by what it creates, but by what it avoids. 

7 August 2026 | 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM 

Stay tuned for more updates!
