JSW Cement Boosts Vijayanagar Plant Capacity by 2 MTPA

                JSW Cement, part of the JSW Group 
conglomerate, said on October 1 that it has 
commissioned an additional two million 
tonnes per annum (MTPA) capacity at its plant 
in Karnataka’s 
Vijayanagar with an investment of Rs 461 
crore.
With this expansion, the plant’s total capacity 
has increased to 6 MTPA, and the overall 
installed grinding capacity of JSW Cement has 
gone up to 20.6 MTPA, “reinforcing its focus on 
manufacturing green cementitious products,” 
according to a press release.
“The new capacity addition is in line with JSW 
Cement’s goal of increasing the overall 
grinding capacity to 40.85 MTPA in the near 
term through greenfield and brownfield 
expansions 
across India, a growth driven by innovation, 
sustainability, and integrated business 
operations within the JSW Group,” JSW 
Cement said in the press release.
This expansion at Vijayanagar is part of the 
company’s broader strategy to invest in 
brownfield and greenfield projects across 
northern and central India, including proposed 
units in 
Rajasthan, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar 
Pradesh, the statement added.
“As we keep expanding, our focus will remain 
on innovative and sustainable manufacturing 
practices that support the global shift towards 
a circular economy,” said Nilesh Narwekar, CEO 
of JSW Cement.
