JSW Cement Starts Production At Nagaur Plant In North India

24 Mar 2026 CW Team

The Nagaur plant is equipped with a three point three mn t clinkerisation unit and a two point five mn t cement grinding unit, with an additional one mn t cement grinding unit under construction. The facility is strategically located to cater to demand in Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab and the National Capital Region. An overland belt conveyor will move limestone and reduce reliance on road transport. Project execution was completed within 21 months, underlining the firm's construction capabilities.

The investment for the Nagaur unit was financed through a mix of equity and long-term debt and the company allocated Rs eight bn from fresh issue proceeds of its IPO towards part financing of the project. The expansion advances progress towards a mid-term capacity target of 41.85 mn t and a long-term vision of reaching 60 mn t capacity. The commencement of operations in the north is expected to support infrastructure growth and provide customers with high-quality, eco-friendly cement while maintaining sustainability credentials.

The plant has sustainability features including provisions for co-processing of alternative fuels in the kiln and a seven km overland belt conveyor to cut the environmental impact of road transport. The facility will include a 16 MW Waste Heat Recovery System to capture and reuse heat from production and reduce carbon emissions. The operation supports the company's ambition to be among the world's most sustainable cement producers.

JSW Cement, one of India's green cement producers, has commenced production at a greenfield integrated plant in Nagaur, Rajasthan, marking the company's first such facility in north India. The commissioning expands the company's national footprint and takes total cement grinding capacity to 24.1 mn t per annum and total clinker manufacturing capacity, including a joint venture component, to nine point seven four mn t per annum. The move positions the firm to serve high-growth markets across the region. Management said the project is a strategic step towards a pan-India presence.
