JK Cement has taken a major step in its expansion journey with the foundation-laying ceremony for a new Grey Cement Grinding Unit in Buxar, Bihar. This Rs 500-crore project, part of the company’s strategy to strengthen its presence in Eastern India, will help meet the rising demand for premium cement in the region.
The ceremony was led by Dr Nidhipati Singhania, Vice Chairman, JK Cement Ltd, Madhavkrishna Singhania, Joint Managing Director and CEO, and other senior officials. Speaking about the project, Dr Raghavpat Singhania, Managing Director, highlighted that the new unit will not only enhance JK Cement’s national presence but also contribute to Bihar’s infrastructural and economic growth.
With a proposed capacity of 3.00 MTPA, the Buxar unit will play a crucial role in balancing demand and supply in the market. The company expects this addition to help them surpass a production capacity of 30 MTPA by next year.
Madhavkrishna Singhania stressed the importance of this project in supporting the development of Bihar and neighbouring Uttar Pradesh, where JK Cement already has a strong presence.
As Bihar undergoes rapid infrastructural growth and implements large-scale projects, JK Cement’s high-quality products and innovative approach are set to play a key role in driving progress and supporting India’s broader growth agenda. This new facility marks a significant milestone in the company’s efforts to deliver superior cement solutions across the country.
