JK Cement Ltd. has broken ground for its greenfield cement plant in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, marking a major expansion in its growth strategy. The project involves an investment of around Rs. 3,000 crore and is targeted for completion by early 2027.
Spread across 525 acres, the plant has been strategically located to ensure long-term raw material security through access to rich limestone reserves. The facility will also benefit from proximity to high-demand markets in Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Haryana, supported by an established dealer and distributor network.
Speaking at the ceremony, Raghavpat Singhania, Managing Director of JK Cement Ltd., said the Jaisalmer facility would not only enhance production capacity but also create employment and drive regional development. “This facility will strengthen our production capabilities while creating opportunities for employment, skill development, and progress in the region. Our commitment is to grow responsibly and sustainably,” he said.
The plant will incorporate waste heat recovery systems and energy-efficient processes, underscoring the company’s focus on sustainability and reducing carbon footprint. It is expected to generate both direct and indirect employment, fostering skill development among local youth while contributing to social infrastructure in nearby areas.
Madhavkrishna Singhania, CEO & Joint Managing Director, JK Cement Ltd., described the project as a defining moment in the company’s growth journey. “This plant is not just an expansion of capacity but a symbol of our vision to be a trusted leader in the cement industry,” he noted.
JK Cement, one of India’s top grey and white cement manufacturers, currently has a Grey Cement capacity of 25.26 MTPA and White Cement and Wall Putty capacity of 3.05 MTPA. The company operates across 15 Indian states and has a strong international footprint in 36 countries.
The Jaisalmer plant reinforces JK Cement’s commitment to sustainable growth, customer service, and infrastructure development, positioning it to meet rising cement demand from housing, industrial, and government-led infrastructure projects.
