JSW Cement has commissioned a new one million tonne per annum (MTPA) modern cement grinding unit through its subsidiary Shiva Cement at Sambalpur in Odisha.

The new facility, valued at around Rs 1 billion, was funded and supervised by Shiva Cement through a commercial arrangement with Bhushan Power and Steel. With this addition, JSW Cement’s total installed capacity has now increased to 21.6 MTPA.

Nilesh Narwekar, Chief Executive Officer of JSW Cement, said the new plant represents a strategic initiative to consolidate and expand the company’s presence in eastern India — a region that has seen rapid industrial and infrastructure growth in recent years.

Shiva Cement’s manufacturing base is strategically located at the tri-junction of Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand, giving it direct access to key raw materials required for cement production, thereby reducing logistics costs and improving efficiency.

JSW Cement continues to advance its nationwide expansion plan, targeting a total grinding capacity of 41.85 MTPA and clinker capacity of 13.04 MTPA to strengthen its pan-India presence.
