Jindal Cement, a part of the Naveen Jindal-owned Jindal Steel group, has announced an ambitious expansion strategy that will quadruple its cement production capacity over the next two to three years, aiming to strengthen its position in India’s rapidly growing construction materials market. 
Under the plan, the company will increase its annual grinding capacity from the current 2.5 million tonnes to 10 million tonnes, representing a four-fold jump. This substantial scale-up will be achieved by investing approximately ₹3,000 crore in capacity augmentation at its key manufacturing units in Raigarh (Chhattisgarh) and Angul (Odisha). 
Jindal Cement’s Chief Executive Officer Rohit Vohra confirmed that the necessary regulatory approvals have already been secured to proceed with the project. Much of the planned capex about ₹2,500 crore, will be focused on expanding output at the existing facilities, including adding 3 million tonnes at Raigarh and 1.5 million tonnes at Angul. 
Currently integrated with Jindal Steel’s broader industrial ecosystem, these plants benefit from proximity to existing steel operations, a factor that can support logistics and raw-material synergies. 
The move comes against the backdrop of sustained demand for cement driven by India’s infrastructure development and housing construction activities. The country’s cement production capacity is among the world’s largest, exceeding 600 million tonnes annually, led by major players such as UltraTech Cement and Adani Cement. 
Jindal Cement’s expansion aims to position it as a more competitive force in the industry by significantly enhancing production scale while aligning its growth trajectory with national infrastructure needs.
