JK Lakshmi Cement has commissioned an additional grinding unit of 13.50 Lakh Tonnes Per Annum (LTPA) at Surat and completed de-bottlenecking of its cement mills at Jaykaypuram, Sirohi. With this, the company's total cement capacity has increased from 16.5 MTPA to 18 MTPA, a rise of 1.5 MTPA (approximately 9%). The announcement was made on 22nd September 2025 under SEBI Listing Regulations. This is a brownfield capacity addition rather than a new greenfield plant. The filing does not disclose the capital cost or the funding mix for the expansion.
The 1.5 MTPA capacity boost positions the company to grow volumes and capture cement demand going forward, but the cost of expansion and ramp-up time may pressure margins in the near term. Investors should watch for utilization levels and any cost overruns in upcoming quarterly results.
