JK Lakshmi Cement Plans Rs 18.16 Billion Expansion

JK Lakshmi Cement announced on Tuesday that it will invest Rs 18.16 billion to expand its manufacturing operations in Chhattisgarh. The company intends to raise its clinker production capacity by 2.31 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) and its cement grinding capacity by 1.2 MTPA, supported by this proposed investment.

The Memorandum of Understanding for the expansion was signed during the Chhattisgarh Investor Connect event in New Delhi, in the presence of Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai. The added capacity will enhance the company’s ability to serve the rapidly growing markets of Eastern and Central India, where demand for building materials remains robust.

The move supports JK Lakshmi Cement’s broader goal of increasing its total capacity to around 30 MTPA in the coming years. Deputy Managing Director Shrivats Singhania said the expansion marks a significant step in the company’s next phase of growth, adding that Chhattisgarh has long been central to its manufacturing strategy.

Over the past decade, JK Lakshmi Cement has contributed to strengthening Chhattisgarh’s industrial landscape since establishing its integrated plant in Durg in 2015. The company has implemented multiple initiatives, including a manufacturing facility with 1.8 MTPA of clinker capacity and 2.7 MTPA of cement capacity, operational upgrades with energy-efficient technology and automation, and logistics improvements through enhanced rail connectivity.

Chhattisgarh continues to show strong economic momentum, making it one of the most promising markets for cement demand, said Arun Shukla, President and Director at JK Lakshmi Cement. The company’s shares closed 0.28 per cent higher at Rs 782.10 on the BSE.
