JK Lakshmi Cement has been declared the Preferred Bidder in an e-auction conducted by the Government of Assam for the mining lease of the Juipahar New Umrangso Limestone Block (A and B) in Assam. The block covers an area of 405 hectares. Since limestone is the primary raw material for cement manufacturing, this lease will help the company secure long-term supply of a key input. The disclosure was made under Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Regulations, indicating it is a material development for the company.
Positive for shareholders — securing a captive limestone source strengthens raw material supply, supports future capacity expansion, and may reduce input cost volatility over the long term. This is a forward-looking advantage, though the mining lease still needs to be formally granted.
