Sri Chakra Cements was incorporated on March 10, 1981 and is engaged in the manufacture of cement. Earlier known as Goldstar Cements, it acquired its present name on August 26, 1996.

Located in the Guntur and Vizianagaram districts of Andhra Pradesh, the manufacturing plants developed capacity to produce cement and clinker. As the company was faring poorly, it was registered with the Board for Industrial & Financial Reconstruction (BIFR), which on Jun. 8, 2005 recommended winding up activities. An appeal has been filed with the Appellate Authority for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (AAIFR) for consideration of setting aside the BIFR order. Simultaneously, settlements with commercial banks have been cleared and one-time settlements with financial institutions are under consideration.
