JSW Cement

JSW Cement has secured a limestone mining lease in Assam, strengthening its raw material access and reinforcing its long-term expansion strategy in eastern India. The acquisition of the mining rights ensures a stable supply of a critical input for cement manufacturing, reducing dependence on third-party sourcing and enhancing cost efficiency. The development aligns with the company’s broader capacity augmentation plans and reflects rising infrastructure demand across the Northeast.

JSW Cement posted a net profit of Rs 130.62 crore for the third quarter of FY26, reflecting resilient operational performance amid fluctuating input costs. The company’s revenue increased on a year-on-year basis, driven by steady demand in both domestic and key export markets. Analysts highlighted that JSW Cement’s strategic focus on cost optimization, enhanced distribution networks, and efficiency improvements contributed to its earnings stability.

JSW Cement, a subsidiary of the diversified USD 23-billion JSW Group, has inaugurated a 1 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) cement grinding unit in Sambalpur, Odisha. This expansion, executed through its majority-owned subsidiary Shiva Cement, elevates the company's total installed capacity to 21.6 MTPA. The new facility aims to meet the escalating demand for cement in Eastern India, driven by rapid industrialization and infrastructure development in the region.
