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.

JPC CEO Rohit Vohra remarked, β€œThe 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.”
