This significant milestone, achieved in a record time of under ten months, strengthens JK Cement's commitment to meet the growing demand for cement and solidify its position as a key industry leader.

The Prayagraj Plant is a 2 MTPA Clinker Grinding unit project which will increase the overall capacity of the organization from the present 22 MTPA to 24 MTPA. This strategic move allows the company to efficiently cater to the burgeoning demand for cement across the Eastern Uttar Pradesh.

The government's heavy investment in infrastructure projects, including roads, bridges, and buildings, is expected to continue fueling growth. JK Cement's strategic move into this market leverages its expertise and resources to meet the increasing demand, solidifying its position as a key player in the industry.

Dr. Raghavpat Singhania, Managing Director, JK Cement Ltd., said, "We are thrilled to launch this new grinding unit at Prayagraj, which marks a significant milestone in our expansion strategy. As India accelerates its infrastructure development to sustain robust economic growth, we are continually scaling our capacities to cater to escalating demands from the infrastructure, housing, and construction sectors.

We anticipate that these endeavors will not only foster our growth but also actively contribute to the overall development of the region and the nation."

Madhavkrishna Singhania, Deputy Managing Director and CEO, JK Cement Ltd., added, "Our relentless pursuit of excellence has led us to this momentous occasion.

This strategic addition not only ensures our steadfast role in nation-building but also ushers in an array of employment opportunities within the state. We are committed to operational brilliance and innovative contributions, amplifying growth and progress on both regional and national horizons."

Presently, JK Cement operates two functional units in the state of Uttar Pradesh, situated in Aligarh and Hamipur with the capacity of 1.5 MTPA and 2 MTPA respectively. Designed with cutting-edge technologies, the project is expected to generate substantial direct and indirect employment opportunities, contributing significantly to the local economy and fostering regional growth.

JK Cement's commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability is evident in the design and operation of the new grinding unit. The facility is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and adheres to the highest environmental and safety standards.
