JSW Cement Strengthens Presence in Eastern India with New Sambalpur Unit

JSW Cement Limited, part of the diversified US$23 billion JSW Group, has commissioned a state-of-the-art cement grinding unit in Sambalpur, Odisha, through its majority-owned subsidiary Shiva Cement. This strategic initiative enhances the company’s presence in eastern India, where infrastructure and industrial growth are rising rapidly.

The new 1.0 MTPA grinding facility will exclusively serve Shiva Cement and increases the total installed grinding capacity of JSW Cement, including its subsidiaries, to 21.6 MTPA. This development is a key step in JSW Cement’s strategy to strengthen its market footprint in high-demand regions.

Strategic Location and Operational Efficiency

Located at the geographic border of Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand, the Sambalpur facility benefits from proximity to raw materials, reducing logistics costs and improving operational efficiency. The unit has been developed in a commercial arrangement with Bhushan Power and Steel Limited (BPSL).

Mr. Nilesh Narwekar, CEO of JSW Cement, stated, “Odisha is witnessing rapid industrial and infrastructure growth, making this state a critical market. The new Sambalpur unit consolidates our presence, expands our eco-friendly footprint, and strengthens our ability to meet rising demand.”

Pan-India Expansion and Sustainability

JSW Cement is progressing with a pan-India expansion plan, targeting 41.85 MTPA of grinding capacity and 13.04 MTPA of clinker capacity. The Nagaur integrated unit in Rajasthan, with 3.30 MTPA clinker and 3.5 MTPA grinding capacity, is expected to be commissioned as planned.

The company maintains the lowest carbon dioxide emission intensity in the industry at 277 kg CO2 per ton of cementitious material in Q1 FY26, highlighting its commitment to sustainable manufacturing.
