JSW Cement Aims to Double Capacity, Eyes IBC Acquisitions

JSW Cement, a leading player in the Indian construction sector, is targeting significant growth by doubling its production capacity to 30 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) in the coming years. The company plans to achieve this expansion primarily by acquiring distressed assets through the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) route.

The move aligns with JSW Cement's strategy to increase its market share in India's rapidly growing construction and infrastructure sectors. According to a senior company official, JSW Cement is actively looking at opportunities to acquire cement assets that are undergoing insolvency proceedings. These acquisitions are expected to provide the company with a faster route to expand its capacity, while also benefiting from strategic locations and existing infrastructure.

JSW Cement currently operates with a capacity of 16 MTPA, and the company aims to enhance this through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. The IBC route offers a cost-effective way to acquire existing cement assets, which could be swiftly integrated into JSW's operations, boosting efficiency and market presence.

The company is also exploring greenfield projects and capacity expansion at its existing plants as part of its long-term growth plan. With India's cement demand projected to grow significantly in the coming years, JSW Cement's expansion strategy will enable it to cater to the rising infrastructure needs across the country.

JSW Cement's focus on capacity growth reflects its commitment to becoming a dominant force in the Indian cement industry, driven by both organic and inorganic expansion.
