No, On-site, we use some retarders. So it's 90min.

We know the initial sitting time of ordinary portland cement is 30 minutes but here we are talking about concrete.
Is the initial setting time of concrete and cement past is same by using portland cement?
Please, anyone explain.

If it was less than 30 min is correct, here 60 min is the correct answer. Initial settings time is not less than 30 min and not more than 60 min for Portland cement.

Retarders are used to delay or extend the setting time of cement paste in concrete. These are helpful for concrete that has to be transported to long distance, and helpful in placing the concrete at high temperatures.
Eg: Calcium Ligno-sulphonates and Carbohydrates derivatives.
