JK Lakshmi Cement has announced an investment of ₹1,816 crore to expand its manufacturing footprint in Chhattisgarh, as per the news reports. The company aims to scale up both clinker and cement production capacities as part of its long-term plan to strengthen its presence in Eastern and Central India and progress towards its broader goal of achieving 30 MTPA total capacity.
Under this plan, JK Lakshmi Cement will enhance its clinker capacity by 2.31 MTPA and cement grinding capacity by 1.2 MTPA. The investment was formalised through an MoU signed at the Chhattisgarh Investor Connect event in New Delhi, in the presence of Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai.
This additional capacity will enable the company to better serve fast-growing construction markets across Eastern and Central India, where demand for building materials continues to rise.
As stated by Deputy Managing Director Shrivats Singhania, "This expansion marks an important step in how we are shaping JK Lakshmi Cement's next phase of growth. Chhattisgarh has been central to our manufacturing strategy, and this investment strengthens our ability to serve Eastern and Central India with reliable, efficient capacity."
Over the last decade, JK Lakshmi Cement has played a significant role in strengthening the state’s industrial ecosystem, especially after the establishment of its integrated plant in Durg in 2015. The company has invested in energy-efficient technologies, automation upgrades, improved logistics, and enhanced rail connectivity.
