₹3,000 Crore Bet: JK Lakshmi Cement Gears Up for Growth

Cement demand in India is projected to grow by 7–8% in FY26, fueled by sustained momentum in infrastructure development and housing projects, according to Arun Shukla, President and Director of JK Lakshmi Cement.

To leverage this growth, JK Lakshmi Cement is investing ₹2,500–3,000 crore to expand its production capacity by 4.6 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) by FY27.

The company ended FY25 with a production capacity of 18 mtpa and is targeting 30 mtpa by FY30, positioning itself to become India’s fifth-largest cement producer. JK Lakshmi Cement maintains a strong market presence across East, North, and West India.
