JSW Cement, a prominent cement manufacturer in India, has recently unveiled its inaugural production facility in Northern India, situated in Nagaur, Rajasthan. This strategic move signifies JSW Cement’s commitment to broadening its operational scope to cater to customers in the northern part of the nation.
Parth Jindal, the managing director of JSW Cement, expressed his satisfaction with this milestone, emphasizing the company’s aspirations to establish itself as a nationwide cement industry player by 2026. The inauguration ceremony for the Nagaur unit saw Jindal ceremoniously breaking ground at the site, marking the commencement of operations.
Initially, the Nagaur unit will boast a production capacity of 3.3 million tonnes per annum, with plans in place to gradually escalate this figure to 15 million tonnes over time. This expansion underscores JSW Cement’s dedication to meeting the escalating demand for cement in the region while ensuring efficient customer service.
As of September of the previous year, JSW Cement boasted a total production capacity of 19 million tonnes per annum across its existing facilities in India. Alongside the Nagaur unit, the company aims to augment its capacity by an additional 2 million tonnes during the ongoing calendar year (2023). Looking forward, JSW Cement has set a medium-term objective of achieving a cumulative capacity of 60 million tonnes within the ensuing five years.
Central to JSW Cement’s expansion agenda is its commitment to curbing carbon emissions. As part of its sustainability drive, the company intends to invest in various initiatives geared towards mitigating its environmental footprint. This concerted effort aligns with global initiatives aimed at combating climate change and promoting environmentally responsible manufacturing practices.
The establishment of the Nagaur production unit in Rajasthan underscores JSW Cement’s strategic vision to bolster its presence across diverse Indian regions. By diversifying its manufacturing footprint, the company aims to bolster its market penetration and better meet the demands of its clientele.
