JK Lakshmi Cement (JKLC) has announced a significant expansion in Northeast India with an investment of ₹11,000 crore in Assam over the next 7-8 years. The company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Assam government at the Advantage Assam 2.0 Investment and Infrastructure Summit. The agreement was formalized in the presence of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and JK Lakshmi Cement President & Director ArunShukla.
The investment will be directed toward setting up a Greenfield cement project focused on cement production and value-added products. The initiative is expected to bolster Assam’s infrastructure, create employment opportunities, and promote economic growth.
“We are delighted to collaborate with the Assam government on this transformative project. This partnership underscores our commitment to sustainable industrial expansion and aligns with our vision to achieve 30 MT by 2030,” said Arun Shukla. The project will integrate environmentally responsible practices to ensure long-term sustainability. Guwahati is expected to benefit significantly from this investment, as increased cement production will enhance supply chain efficiencies and support the region’s booming construction sector. With ongoing infrastructure projects, including roads, bridges, and urban development, JK Lakshmi Cement’s expansion will cater to the rising demand for high-quality building materials in the city and beyond.
