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.
