JSW Cement has announced the commencement of production at its new greenfield integrated cement manufacturing plant in Nagaur, Rajasthan. This marks the company's first facility in North India.
The new plant is equipped with a 3.30 MTPA clinkerization unit and a 2.50 MTPA cement grinding unit, with an additional 1.00 MTPA cement grinding unit under construction. This expansion brings JSW Cement's total cement grinding capacity to 24.1 MTPA and its total clinker manufacturing capacity to 9.74 MTPA (including its joint venture).
The Nagaur unit was funded through a mix of equity and long-term debt, with ₹800 crore allocated from the IPO proceeds. The facility is strategically located to serve high-growth markets in Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, and the National Capital Region (NCR).
Mr. Parth Jindal, Managing Director of JSW Cement, stated that the commissioning of the Nagaur facility is a pivotal moment, enabling the company to become a pan-India player and enter the fast-growing Northern Indian market. He also highlighted the project's execution capabilities, with the greenfield integrated unit commissioned within 21 months, and reiterated the company's track to achieve 41.85 MTPA capacity by FY29.
Mr. Nilesh Narwekar, CEO of JSW Cement, emphasized that expanding into the North Indian market is a strategic priority due to high growth rates and infrastructure development in the region. The company aims to provide high-quality, eco-friendly cement and maintain its position as a sustainable cement producer. This expansion moves the company closer to its mid-term capacity target of 41.85 MTPA and its long-term vision of 60 MTPA.
The plant is designed for sustainable manufacturing, featuring provisions for co-processing alternative fuels and a 7 km Overland Belt Conveyor to minimize the environmental impact of limestone transportation. It will also include a 16 MW Waste Heat Recovery System to reduce its carbon footprint.
