JK Cement Inaugurates New Grey Cement Grinding Unit in Buxar, Bihar

JK Cement’s state-of-the-art Grey Cement Grinding Unit in Buxar, Bihar, was inaugurated by Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, under the guidance of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, and in the presence of Dr. Dilip Kumar Jaiswal, Minister of Industries & Road Construction, and Dr. Nidhipati Singhania, Vice Chairman of JK Cement.

The new unit marks a significant step in strengthening regional manufacturing capacity and supporting Bihar’s infrastructure expansion. Located on the Patna–Buxar highway, the 100-acre facility has a production capacity of 3 MTPA, enabling faster and more efficient supply of high-quality cement across Bihar and neighbouring markets.

On the occasion, Samrat Choudhary said, “The inauguration of JK Cement’s Buxar plant is an important milestone for Bihar’s development. Such industrial investments create employment opportunities for local people and support the state’s infrastructure growth. I congratulate JK Cement for its vision and commitment to Bihar. Together, industry and the government can play a meaningful role in strengthening the state’s progress.”

Dr. Raghavpat Singhania, Managing Director of JK Cement, said the inauguration is a proud moment for the company. “This facility reflects our long-term commitment to being a trusted partner in Bihar’s development journey. We are honoured that the Bhavya Lokarpan has been carried out by the Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister.”

The Buxar unit is expected to enhance cement availability for infrastructure, housing, and commercial projects while also contributing to local economic development through direct and indirect employment generation and by fostering ancillary industries in the region. JK Cement had previously entered the Bihar market through supplies from its Prayagraj facility. With the commissioning of the Buxar plant, the company will now be able to serve the state through localized manufacturing, enabling faster delivery timelines and improved service responsiveness.

Sharing his views, Madhavkrishna Singhania, Joint Managing Director & CEO, JK Cement, added, “Bihar is a high-potential market with strong infrastructure momentum, and the Buxar facility brings us closer to the evolving needs of the region. Local manufacturing will allow us to serve customers more effectively while supporting infrastructure projects that are critical to the state’s development. We see this as a long-term investment in Bihar’s progress and a step towards creating sustainable value for the communities we operate in.”

Developed with an investment of approximately ₹500 crore, the project commenced construction in March 2025 and represents a significant step towards strengthening the industrial ecosystem in Bihar.
