JSW Cement has successfully increased production capacity at its Vijayanagar plant in Karnataka by 2 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). With this addition, the plant’s total production capacity now stands at 6 MTPA. This expansion is a crucial part of JSW Cement's broader strategy to increase its overall capacity to 25 MTPA by the financial year 2025, strengthening its presence in India’s growing cement market.
The Vijayanagar plant, located near JSW Steel’s facility, benefits from operational synergies, such as efficient raw material procurement and energy use. The expansion will enhance the supply of high-quality cement to meet the increasing demand in Karnataka and the surrounding regions. Additionally, this move aligns with JSW Cement’s focus on sustainability and innovation, as the company continues to adopt eco-friendly practices in cement production.
JSW Cement’s increased capacity is expected to support infrastructure projects in southern and western India, contributing to the country’s booming construction and real estate sectors. As India accelerates its development in urbanization, infrastructure, and housing, the demand for high-performance cement continues to rise, and JSW Cement is positioning itself to cater to this growing need.
This capacity addition at Vijayanagar also emphasizes the company’s commitment to strengthening its supply chain and ensuring timely product delivery while maintaining sustainable practices.
