PARIS, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Lafarge will build in
the fast-growing regional market of Northern India a cement
plant with annual capacity of 3 million tonnes to boost
capacity, the French construction group said on Tuesday.
The plant, expected to be completed in 2010 will involve a
total investment of approximately 160 million euros ($203.2
million), it said.
It will increase Lafarge's cement capacity from 5.5 million

already has three cement plants in India.
The plant will be built at Alsindi following the approval
granted by the state government of Himachal Pradesh.
