JK Cement Ltd. on Friday inaugurated its state-of-the-art Grey Cement Grinding Unit in Buxar, marking a major expansion in Bihar. The Bhavya Lokarpan ceremony was led by Samrat Choudhary, Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar, under the guidance of Nitish Kumar, in the presence of Dr. Dilip Kumar Jaiswal, Industries & Road Construction Minister, and Dr. Nidhipati Singhania, Vice Chairman, JK Cement. Strategically located on the Patna–Buxar highway, the 100-acre facility has a production capacity of 3 MTPA. Developed with an investment of approximately ₹500 crore, construction began in March 2025.
Calling it an “important milestone for Bihar’s development,” Choudhary said the project would generate employment and strengthen infrastructure growth. JK Cement Managing Director Dr. Raghavpat Singhania said the plant reflects the company’s long-term commitment to Bihar’s industrial progress. Joint Managing Director & CEO Mr. Madhavkrishna Singhania described Bihar as a “high-potential market,” adding that local manufacturing would ensure faster deliveries and improved service responsiveness.
The Buxar unit is expected to improve cement availability for housing, commercial, and infrastructure projects while boosting ancillary industries. Earlier, JK Cement served Bihar from its Prayagraj facility; the new plant enables localized manufacturing. Founded in 1975 in Nimbahera, Rajasthan, JK Cement has a grey cement capacity of 31.26 MTPA and white cement and wall putty capacity of 3.05 MTPA, with presence across 15 Indian states and 36 countries.
