Jk Lakshmi Cement

What Jk Lakshmi Cement does

JK Lakshmi Cement Limited is an Indian cement manufacturer publicly listed on the NSE and BSE under the ticker JKLAKSHMI, headquartered in New Delhi and part of the JK Organisation conglomerate controlled by the Singhania family. The company manufactures and distributes a comprehensive portfolio of cement products — including premium cements (PRO+, Green+, Platinum Heavy Duty, Platinum Supremo, White Cement) and the differentiated Green PRO LC3 — alongside adjacent building materials such as wall putty, gypsum plaster, fly ash AAC blocks, cement mortar, primer, and ready-mix concrete. Manufacturing operations span plants in Rajasthan (Jaykaypuram, Sirohi), Haryana (Jhajjar), Chhattisgarh (Durg), and Gujarat (Surat), with a newly added North East India footprint via the March 2026 acquisition of NECEM Cements in Guwahati, Assam.

A defining technical differentiator is that JK Lakshmi is the first commercial producer of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) in India, reducing CO2 emissions by up to 40% versus conventional Portland cement. The LC3 platform was developed over a decade in collaboration with Swiss institutions (EPFL, EMPA, ETH Zurich) and Indian IITs (Delhi, Madras) and has reached full-scale deployment at the Noida International Airport project. Current installed capacity of 18 MTPA is being expanded to 22.6 MTPA by FY28 and 30 MTPA by 2030, supported by a ₹3,000 crore capex program, a ₹1,816 crore Chhattisgarh expansion, and the addition of NECEM's limestone reserves (~40 MT) and a newly declared 200-hectare mining lease at New Umrangso.

Revenue is generated principally through one-time unit sales of cement and building materials at average prices of ₹330–345 per 50 kg bag, serving home builders, masons, contractors, architects, engineers, and large infrastructure developers (such as Noida International Airport) across North, West, East, and North East India via a pan-India dealer network, a dedicated channel partner program, and direct project supply. FY2026 sales reached ₹6,762.63 crore on a volume of 38.96 lakh tonnes (up 9.2% YoY), with standalone net profit rising 44.6% to ₹444.65 crore. The company maintains conservative dividend payouts (20% of net income and free cash flow) and has been consolidating operations through the 2025 amalgamation of Udaipur Cement Works, Hansdeep Industries, and Hidrive Developers into the parent entity.
