Jaypee Group to hike cement capacity to 50 mtpa

Jaypee Group is targeting to ramp up its cement-making capacity to around 50 mtpa over the next five years from 33.5 mtpa now. With presence in 11 states in the country, the company plans to add capacity in states where it is not present, like Karnataka, Assam or Manipur. Plans are already afoot to set up a 3 mtpa plant in Karnataka, while the location of the north-eastern facility is yet to be finalised. The rest of the planned capacity would come up mostly in existing facilities.Contact: Jaypee Group.Tel: 0120-460 9000. Fax: 0120-460 9460.Email: jaypee@jalindia.co.in
