This remarkable milestone, achieved in less than 10 months, demonstrates JK Cement’s dedication to meeting expanding cement demand and solidifying its position as an industry leader. The Prayagraj Plant is a 2 MTPA Clinker Grinding Unit project that will boost the organisation’s total capacity from 22 MTPA to 24 MTPA. This strategic decision enables the company to rapidly satisfy the increasing need for cement throughout Eastern Uttar Pradesh.

The Prayagraj grinding equipment is outfitted with cutting-edge German technology, resulting in increased energy efficiency and lower input and fixed costs. This strategic growth enables JK Cement to meet the changing needs of a varied client base in important areas. The Eastern Uttar Pradesh cement market is considerable, owing to the region’s increasing infrastructural development. The government’s significant investment in infrastructure projects, including roads, bridges, and buildings, is likely to continue to drive growth. JK Cement’s deliberate entry into this market uses its experience and resources to fulfil rising demand, cementing its position as an important supplier in the industry.

Dr. Raghavpat Singhania, Managing Director of JK Cement Ltd., states, “We are happy to open this new grinding plant in Prayagraj, which represents a critical milestone in our expansion strategy.

We anticipate that these initiatives will help us expand and actively contribute to the broader development of the region and the country.”

Madhavkrishna Singhania, Deputy Managing Director & CEO of JK Cement Ltd., says, “Our unwavering pursuit of excellence has taken us to this historic event. Cementing our market position emerges as a top priority, precisely in line with our larger ambition of attaining sustainable and profitable growth.

We are devoted to operational excellence and innovative contributions that will accelerate growth and progress on both regional and national levels.”

JK Cement currently runs two operating operations in the state of Uttar Pradesh, located in Aligarh and Hamipur, with capacities of 1.5 MTPA and 2 MTPA, respectively. The project, which is being built using cutting-edge technology, is expected to create large direct and indirect employment opportunities, so contributing substantially to the local economy and fostering regional growth.
