Jakarta (Antara) - PT Semen Indonesia Tbk. has prepared capital expenditures worth Rp6 trillion for partly securing the national cement supply. "Most of the funds will be used to finance the expansion and procurement of new machines for plants in Padang and Rembang to secure the national supply for 2015," corporate secretary Agung Wiharto said here on Tuesday. He noted that national cement consumption is projected to reach 5 to 6 percent higher than last year's. Agung expressed optimism that the two plants can start production as scheduled despite protests from a small number of people especially in Rembang, Central Java, concerning an environmental impact analysis (Amdal) issue. "All the procedures required for Amdal have been carried out properly and in accordance with rules. We are optimistic that the judicial process at the Central Java administrative court will be completed soon," he stated. (*)
