The investment includes a clinkerisation unit of up to 3.30 million tonnes per annum and a grinding unit of up to 2.50 MTPA, along with an 18 MW waste heat recovery-based power plant, said the company, referring to manufacturing processes.
The proposed investment for the greenfield and integrated facility will be funded through equity and long-term debt.

About the North India market, Nilesh Narwekar, chief executive officer of JSW Cement, said, “These states have one of the highest GDP growth rates and are witnessing significant infrastructure and housing development. We are very excited to be able to enter this booming construction market.”
