The company made this expansion with an investment of ₹461 crore.

JSW Cement’s focus on growth is aligned with its broader strategy to drive sustainable development and adopt eco-friendly manufacturing processes as part of its long-term vision. The expansion at Vijayanagar is a key part of this strategy, further reinforcing the company’s leadership in the cement sector in India.
