Shares of Anjani Portland Cement were last trading in Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE)at Rs 304.85 compared to the previous close of Rs 298.3. The total number of shares sold throughout the day was 97,776 in over 3,342 trades.

Bhavya Cements was founded in 2007, with an aim to produce and market ordinary portland cement, sulphate resisting portland cement, portland cement for the production of railway sleepers, sulphate resisting portland cement, and portland blast furnace slag cement for use in coastal regions. The organisation recorded a turnover of Rs 303.90 crore in FY2019-20.
