Jindal to boost cement capacity to 7 MnTPA

Jindal Group announced the commissioning of a cement grinding unit with a capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per annum (MnTPA) in Odisha, as part of its Rs 2,200 crore expansion plan. The group stated that its subsidiary, Jindal Panther Cement (JPC), has launched this unit, emphasising its commitment to low-carbon cement production. The facility will utilise approximately 1 MnTPA of blast furnace slag, a by-product from steel manufacturing.

JPC aims to increase its overall production capacity at both its Angul and Raigarh locations to 7 MnTPA, up from the current 1 MnTPA, with an investment of ?2,160 crore.

Designed with low-carbon technologies, the grinding unit will source slag from the nearby Jindal Steel and Power Ltd (JSPL) steel plant in Angul. JPC CEO Rohit Vohra remarked, “The commissioning of our Angul grinding unit marks a significant step in our journey towards a sustainable future. We aim to cater to the growing markets in central and eastern India with our green cement initiatives.”
