Shares of JK Cement were trading up 2% after the company announced a greenfield expansion plan worth ₹4,805 crore to set up 7 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of cement capacity across Rajasthan and Punjab. The expansion aims to strengthen its footprint in northern India and meet the rising demand from housing, infrastructure, and industrial sectors.
The new facilities will be strategically located to serve both domestic and export markets, enhancing operational efficiency and supporting sustainable growth. The projects will incorporate state-of-the-art technology with a strong focus on energy efficiency and renewable integration, aligning with JK Cement’s long-term commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.
The expansion is expected to be commissioned in phases over the next three years, generating direct and indirect employment opportunities in both states. Once completed, JK Cement’s total capacity will move closer to 30 MTPA, further consolidating its position as one of India’s leading cement producers.
JK Cement, part of the JK Organisation, has a strong presence in both grey and white cement segments, along with wall putty and other value-added building materials. The company has consistently expanded its production capacity in India and abroad, positioning itself as a key player in the country’s growing building materials sector.
