MUMBAI -- India's cement demand could grow 9%-10% in the next fiscal year if the government keeps its promise to continue the push for greater infrastructure spending, said a senior executive at ACC Ltd., a top producer of the building material in the country.

Datta Gupta said in a recent interview. India is increasing its investments in the infrastructure sector by building roads, ports and other facilities to support the economy's rapid expansion. That, along with the huge opportunity in the housing sector, is at...

Washington, September 10 (ANI): A team of scientists has finally decoded the basic molecular structure of cement. The three-dimensional crystalline structure of cement hydrate - the paste that forms and quickly hardens when cement powder is mixed with water - had eluded scientific attempts at decoding till now. 'Cement is so widely used as a building material that nobody is going to replace it anytime soon. But it has a carbon dioxide problem, so a basic understanding of this material could be very timely,' said MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Professor Sidney Yip, co-author of the research paper. 'We believe this work is a first step toward a consistent model of the molecular s...

steel and concrete may be rightly reviewed as complementary to each other and are likely to go hand in hand as concrete brings the strength whereas steel is cost efficient.

My salutes to Mr Narayana Murthy and Mr Mashelkar! Today in Economic Times the brain storming article having same heading made me really excited and highly hopeful towards future of application of researches in science and technology in commercial field.As in my whole career I felt that its lagging too much in our country (except southern parts of India).Whatever researches are going on in big government institutes remain in journals and proceedings of seminars.Very few come up in application.While crores of rupees are spent every year by many funding sectors viz; UGC,CSIR,DBT and many more. Today after reading views of Mr Narayan Murthy and Mr Mashelkar I felt really supportive from their side as I have requested in many seminars and meetings about this innovation. Mr Narayan Murthy: What we really require is science,technology and innovation policy.Innovation is mind to market,concept to commercialisation.In the rest of the world you see that is happening. Mr Mashelkar: Human...
