JK Lakshmi Cement aims to increase its production capacity from 18 million tonnes to 30 million tonnes by 2030, supported by an investment of ₹2,500–3,000 crore in the initial phase, along with further developments in Rajasthan, Gujarat, the Eastern region, and the North East.
In a recent interview , Arun Shukla, the company’s president and director, outlined his strategy to expand into related sectors such as AAC Blocks and RMC, with the goal of doubling their revenue contribution to ₹1,000 crore within a year. He also addressed the ongoing merger of subsidiaries, which is anticipated to be finalized by July–August 2025, and reiterated the company’s commitment to achieving carbon net-zero status by 2047 through initiatives in renewable energy, digitalization, and waste recycling.
At present, our capacity stands at 18 million tonnes, with a goal to increase it to 30 million tonnes by 2030. We have already disclosed several expansion initiatives. By the fiscal years 2027-2028, we aim to enhance our capacity in the East by an additional 4.6 million tonnes. Furthermore, we have secured mining lease rights in Nagore, Rajasthan, and Kutch, Gujarat, where we plan to add three million tonnes of capacity in each location.
Additionally, we intend to establish an integrated grinding unit in the North East, targeting a capacity of approximately 2.5 million tonnes. We are also planning to introduce a third production line at the Udaipur Cement Works (UCWL) plant by the fiscal years 2029-2030. Currently, we anticipate investing around ₹2,500-3,000 crore to facilitate the addition of 4.6 million tonnes of capacity, with all other projects being developed in phases.
In the long run, our goal is for related sectors, including AAC Blocks, ready-mix concrete (RMC), putty, white cement, tile adhesive, primer, and gypsum plaster, to account for approximately 40 percent of our revenue. At present, these segments generate around ₹500-550 crore, and we aim to increase this figure to ₹1,000 crore within the next year. We plan to allocate an investment of ₹200-300 crore towards the AAC Blocks and RMC sectors.
