JK Cement’s Buxar plant in Bihar spans 100 acres with
3 MTPA Grey Cement production capacity
Buxar,
Bihar : JK
Cement Ltd., one of India’s leading cement manufacturers, today announced the
commissioning of its new state-of-the-art Grey Cement plant in Buxar,
Bihar, marking a
major milestone in the company’s growth journey. With this addition, JK
Cement’s total production capacity now stands at 31.26
million tonnes per annum (MTPA),
taking the company past the 30 MTPA mark. With this expansion, JK Cement
now ranks among the top five Grey Cement manufacturers in India, strengthening
its national footprint and reinforcing its long-term growth strategy.
Commenting
on the strategic achievement, Dr. Raghavpat Singhania, Managing Director,
JK Cement, said,
“Crossing
31 MTPA is a significant turning point in JK Cement's expansion and
demonstrates the scale, resilience, and aspirations of our company. In addition
to making a significant contribution to Bihar's development vision, the
commissioning of our Buxar plant represents a strategic step towards expanding
our national footprint. We are committed to developing top-notch manufacturing
capabilities that boost India's infrastructure development and generate
long-term benefits for local communities.”
The Buxar plant, with a capacity of 3 MTPA, is spread across 100 acres
and is strategically located on the Patna–Buxar highway, enabling faster and more
efficient distribution across the state and adjoining regions. While JK Cement
entered the Bihar market last year through supplies from its Prayagraj plant,
the Buxar facility will now allow the company to serve the region locally, with
deliveries possible within 24 hours across the state.
Sharing
his views on the expansion, Mr. Madhavkrishna Singhania, Joint Managing
Director & CEO, JK Cement,
added, "JK Cement is now among India's top five producers of grey cement
after the Buxar plant commissioning. Our capacity to serve Bihar locally, more
effectively, and on a larger scale is strengthened by this facility. Although
we had already entered the Bihar market last year using Prayagraj supplies,
local manufacturing now enables us to be nearer to our clients and significantly
raise service standards throughout the state. Buxar places us at the center of
this chance to promote sustainable growth for both the company and the region
in Bihar, a high-growth market with strong infrastructure momentum.”
The new facility is a strategic step in supporting Bihar’s development
vision, ensuring faster access to superior quality cement for infrastructure,
housing and commercial projects. About ₹500 crore has been invested by the
company in the project. Commercial production started on January 29, 2026,
after construction started in March 2025. In addition to drawing ancillary
industries to the area, the plant is anticipated to create a sizable number of
direct and indirect jobs, bolstering the local economy and industrial
ecosystem.
