Ambuja Cements Sues JSW Over ‘Kawach’ Trademark, Seeks Damages

Ambuja Cements sues JSW Cement for trademark infringement over “Kawach”; the court refers the matter to mediation, seeks damages and an injunction.

Ambuja Cements, part of the Adani Group, has initiated legal proceedings against JSW Cement, alleging trademark infringement concerning its “Ambuja Kawach” product. The lawsuit highlights the rising brand competition in India’s expanding premium cement segment.

Ambuja Cements filed a lawsuit in the Delhi High Court against JSW Cement and its subsidiary, JSW IP Holdings Pvt Ltd. Ambuja claims that JSW’s use of the name “Jal Kavach” infringes upon its trademark “Ambuja Kawach”, registered in 2019. The company asserts that the core element "Kavach", meaning "shield" in Hindi, is a unique identifier of its brand, launched in 2020 for water-repellent cement.

Ambuja accuses JSW of deliberately launching its “CHD Jal Kavach” to create phonetic and conceptual similarities, potentially confusing consumers. The lawsuit also highlights JSW's similar packaging, including layout and logo placement mimicking Ambuja’s “Giant Man’s Arm” branding. JSW’s marketing language, using terms like "water resistance" and "durability", is also under dispute.

Ambuja Kawach is marketed as an eco-friendly, moisture-resistant cement distributed across 17 states. JSW's Jal Kavach, using “Turbo Gel Technology”, was introduced in West Bengal and Bihar in mid-2025, targeting moisture protection in basements and roofs. Ambuja holds nearly 30% market share in the residential and infrastructure segment, while JSW holds 5–6% and aims to expand with a plan to triple capacity to 60 million tonnes annually using Rs 3,600 crore IPO proceeds.

Although the court has referred the matter to mediation for possible resolution, the next hearing is scheduled for October 15, 2025. Ambuja seeks a permanent injunction, damages, and withdrawal of JSW’s trademark application from this legal battle.

On September 18, 2025, Ambuja Cements share price opened at Rs 583.90 on NSE, above the previous close of Rs 582.05. During the day, it surged to Rs 584.25 and dipped to Rs 579.85. The stock is trading at Rs 581.15 as of 9:33 AM. The stock registered a marginal change of -0.15%.

Over the past week, it has moved up by 3.67%, over the past month, it has declined by 1.29%, and over the past 3 months, it has moved up by 6.62%.

The Ambuja-JSW trademark clash underscores fierce brand rivalry in India’s cement industry. As the premium segment grows, protecting product identity and trademarks becomes crucial for major players like Ambuja and JSW Cement.
