JSW's Assam Blitz: Cement, Power, and a Promise of Growth

JSW Group Chairman Sajjan Jindal recently announced that the company plans to invest in Assam's cement manufacturing, renewable energy, and thermal power sectors. Speaking at the Advantage Assam 2.0 Investment and Infrastructure Summit, Jindal emphasized JSW Group’s dedication to supporting the state’s rapid development.

Recalling his childhood visits to his maternal grandparents in Tinsukia, Jindal shared a personal connection to Assam. "As a child, my grandfather would tell me stories of local legends and bravery. Returning today, I’m pleased to witness the ongoing development in the region," he shared.

Jindal stressed the strategic importance of the Northeast in India’s economic growth, stating, "As India moves toward becoming the third-largest economy in the world, the Northeast will play a key role. The Prime Minister has always emphasized that the country’s growth is linked to the region's growth." He pointed out that the Northeast is advancing alongside the rest of the country, with expanding national highways, airports, and logistics parks contributing to this progress.

JSW Group is particularly keen on investing in Assam’s cement manufacturing sector. "Power is a critical sector for driving development. We are exploring investments in renewable and thermal power projects, including the state’s largest thermal power plant, to support Assam's rapid growth," Jindal remarked.

He also commended the Assam government for its proactive approach in attracting industries, expressing optimism that the summit would further elevate the state as a global investment destination.
