Jaisalmer, Rajasthan – Cement giant JK Cement Ltd. has officially begun work on a new greenfield cement plant in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, marking a significant strategic expansion with a proposed capital investment of approximately ₹3,000 crore (approximately US$340 million). The project is a key step in strengthening the company’s pan-India presence and boosting its overall production capacity.
The state-of-the-art facility, spanning a 525-acre land parcel, is scheduled for commissioning by early 2027. Its strategic location provides easy access to abundant limestone reserves, ensuring long-term raw material security and supporting sustainable operations. The plant will also serve high-demand regional markets in Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Haryana.
In line with a commitment to corporate sustainability, the project will incorporate cutting-edge technology, including a waste heat recovery system, designed to enhance energy efficiency and reduce the company’s carbon footprint. The initiative is also poised to be a major catalyst for regional economic development, creating both direct and indirect employment opportunities and fostering skill development for the local community.
The new facility underscores JK Cement’s long-term vision to meet India’s growing infrastructure development needs, fueled by government initiatives, housing projects, and industrial expansion.
