Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Star Cement's subsidiary, Star Cement North East Limited, has been declared the preferred bidder for the Parewar (SN-IV) Limestone Block in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, through a government e-auction. The block spans 960 hectares and has an estimated limestone resource of 271.38 million tonnes, making it a large-scale reserve. Securing captive limestone reserves is a key strategic move for cement companies as it secures raw material supply and reduces input cost volatility. The final award of the mining lease is still subject to completion of the auction process and related formalities.
Positive for the company in the medium to long term, as captive limestone reserves strengthen raw material security and cost competitiveness, though near-term stock impact may be limited until the lease is formally granted and production timelines are clear.
