15 Oct 2025 CW Team

Nilesh Narwekar, CEO, JSW Cement, said, “Odisha is emerging as a key hub for industrial and infrastructure growth in eastern India. This new state-of-the-art facility is a strategic initiative to consolidate and expand our eco-friendly footprint, supporting our vision to strengthen JSW Cement’s presence in this high-potential region.”

Shiva Cement’s Sambalpur unit is located at the geographical intersection of Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand, providing proximity to essential raw materials for cement production. The facility has been developed through a commercial arrangement with Bhushan Power and Steel Limited (BPSL) and will exclusively supply Shiva Cement.

JSW Cement continues to expand its pan-India footprint with an approved programme to reach 41.85 MTPA of grinding capacity and 13.04 MTPA of clinker capacity. Work on the Nagaur integrated unit in Rajasthan, with 3.30 MTPA clinker and 3.5 MTPA grinding capacity, is on track. The company maintains the lowest carbon dioxide emission intensity in the industry, at 277 kg CO? per ton of cementitious materials in Q1 FY26.

JSW Cement operates seven manufacturing plants across India, including integrated, clinker, and grinding units in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, West Bengal, and Odisha. The company also operates a clinker unit in the UAE through JSW Cement FZC. Its product portfolio includes blended cement, GGBS, OPC, clinker, RMC, screened slag, construction chemicals, and waterproofing compounds.

As India’s largest manufacturer of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) with an 84 per cent market share in 2025, JSW Cement combines sustainable production with robust distribution networks to serve the country’s growing infrastructure needs.

JSW Cement, part of the US$23 billion JSW Group, has commissioned a new cement grinding unit at Sambalpur, Odisha, through its majority-owned subsidiary Shiva Cement. The facility, with a capacity of 1.0 MTPA, is strategically positioned to serve the growing demand in eastern India, raising JSW Cement’s total installed grinding capacity to 21.6 MTPA across its operations.
