question_answer 10)

Where would it be economically viable to set up the cement manufacturing units?  

Answer:

Since cement manufacturing requires bulky and heavy raw materials like coal, limestone, silica, etc such industries are likely to be located near to the areas where such minerals are found, to reduce the cost of transportation of these materials. Regular availability of electrical power and availability of a railway line are also factors which are taken into consideration while deciding the location of a cement manufacturing plant.
