JK Cement Limited has marked a key expansion milestone with the foundation ceremony for its upcoming grinding unit in Bikaner, Rajasthan. Once operational, the facility will become the company’s 20th manufacturing plant across its grey and white cement businesses and will have an initial capacity of 2 million tonnes per annum.
The Bhoomi Poojan ceremony was led by Madhavkrishna Singhania, Joint Managing Director and CEO, along with senior members of the leadership team. More than 200 channel partners participated in the event, reflecting the company’s strong distributor network and long-standing market relationships in the region.
Located on a 100-acre site along the Jaipur–Bikaner highway, the new unit is strategically positioned to strengthen JK Cement’s distribution reach across Rajasthan. The location will enable faster deliveries, with most markets in the state expected to be served within 24 hours, improving supply efficiency and customer responsiveness.
Construction of the grinding unit is scheduled to begin in February 2026, with commercial production targeted for March 2027. The project involves an investment of approximately ₹500 crore and is expected to create substantial direct and indirect employment while supporting the development of ancillary industries. The Bikaner facility aligns with JK Cement’s focus on capacity expansion in high-growth markets, reinforcing its commitment to regional development, sustainable infrastructure, and long-term value creation.
