It has started the roll-out of these products and will cover the necessary markets across Karnataka.

According to the announcement, JSWs centre on the dry-mix mortar market expects to reach a contribution of 10% for JSW Cement's consolidated revenues in the following 4-5 years.

Business Head of JSW Cement, Mubin Hussain told the media that the dry-mix and construction chemicals industry sector is about Rs 12,000 crore, including an expected compound annual growth rate of 10% over the next few years.

He said that with advanced green product technologies, this sector would observe a progressive shift from conventional construction mix ratios to extracted by-product engineered compositions. It is expected that these products will grow four-fold by 2024-25.

The green product range makes JSW Cement's construction chemical products one of the most environmentally-friendly ranges currently available in the market.
