JSW Cement commissions 1 MTPA grinding unit in Rajasthan, total capacity rises to 25.10 MTPA

JSW Cement has commissioned an additional 1.00 MTPA cement grinding unit at Nagaur, Rajasthan, strengthening its manufacturing footprint in North India and taking its total installed cement grinding capacity to 25.10 MTPA.

The company, part of the JSW Group, said the commissioning marks a significant milestone in its growth strategy. Its total clinker manufacturing capacity, including the capacity of its joint venture JSW Cement FZC, now stands at 9.74 MTPA.

JSW Cement began operations in North India in March 2026 with the Nagaur Integrated Plant, which comprises a 3.30 MTPA clinkerisation unit and a 2.50 MTPA cement grinding unit. With the new commissioning, the plant’s total grinding capacity has increased to 3.50 MTPA.

The expanded capacity is expected to help the company cater to cement demand across Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab and the National Capital Region (NCR). The expansion has been funded through a combination of equity and long-term debt.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the company also commissioned an Alternate Fuel Handling System and a Waste Heat Recovery System (WHRS) at the Nagaur Integrated Plant.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Nilesh Narwekar, CEO, JSW Cement, said: “The commissioning of additional 1.00 MTPA grinding capacity at Nagaur is a key strategic priority for us and will accelerate JSW Cement’s expansion into North India. We look forward to servicing the growing needs of the region and contributing to the economic growth of Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab and the NCR area. I am delighted to share that the company has commissioned this grinding unit within the expected timeline, showcasing our project execution capabilities. Further, the Alternate Fuel Handling System and the Waste Heat Recovery system (WHRS) are expected to substantially reduce our production costs going forward.”
