Bikaner, February 10, 2026: JK Cement Ltd has marked an important milestone in its growth journey with the Bhoomi Poojan ceremony of its upcoming grinding unit in Bikaner, Rajasthan. The Bikaner facility will be JK Cement’s 20th manufacturing plant across its grey and white cement businesses and will have an initial production capacity of 2 million tonnes per annum (MTPA).

The Bhoomi Poojan was led by Joint Managing Director & CEO, JK Cement, Madhavkrishna Singhania along with senior members of the company’s leadership team. Over 200 strategic channel partners also participated in the ceremony, reflecting the strong partnerships that underpin JK Cement’s expansion in the region.

Rajasthan continues to be an important market for us, and this project reinforces our commitment to expanding manufacturing capabilities closer to demand centres. Beyond strengthening our operational footprint, the Bikaner plant will contribute meaningfully to regional development, employment generation, and the overall industrial ecosystem.”

Spread across 100 acres and strategically located on the Jaipur–Bikaner highway, the upcoming grinding unit will play a critical role in strengthening JK Cement’s presence in Rajasthan. Its location will enable efficient and seamless distribution across the state, allowing the company to service customer demand with significantly reduced lead times, with deliveries possible within 24 hours to most locations.

Sharing his views on the expansion, Madhavkrishna Singhania, Joint Managing Director & CEO, JK Cement, added, “The Bikaner grinding unit is a strategic investment aimed at deepening our reach in Rajasthan, a market witnessing strong growth driven by housing and infrastructure development.

Construction of the Bikaner grinding unit is scheduled to commence in February 2026, with commercial production expected to begin by March 2027. JK Cement has invested approximately INR 500 crore in the project. Once operational, the facility is expected to generate significant direct and indirect employment opportunities and encourage the development of ancillary industries in the surrounding region, thereby boosting the local economy. The Bikaner unit underscores JK Cement’s continued focus on capacity expansion in high-growth markets while supporting sustainable infrastructure development and long-term economic progress.
