Kymore is a town and a nagar panchayat in Katni district in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.
This place has lots of limestone mines around. The British during its rule over India, identified its potential and established a cement factory here. After independence this cement plant came under the ownership of ACC Ltd.. This cement plant was later expanded. Also Everest Eternit established an asbestos sheet manifacturing facility. The entire town population and its activities are due to these industries. Currently 2.2 million tonnes of cement per anum is produced here.
Around this town are lots of large abandoned limestone mines. These were abandoned due to either depletion of limestone or lack to technology during that period to economically mine there. Now these act as artificial water resorviors. Currently the limestone for the cement plants has to be mined from nearby Mahegaon mines, which is about 11 kms away. India's second longest conveyor belt has been built here to fetch limestone from these mines.
