Background

JK Cement Ltd. was established in 1974.[3] The Nimbahera cement works commenced commercial production in 1975 with an initial capacity of 0.3 million tonnes per annum (mtpa). A second production line was added to enhance the production capacity to 0.72 mtpa in 1979.[3][4] Unit 3 and 4 were added in 1982 and 2019, respectively.[5] Unit 3 was modified in 1998 and again in 2021.[6]

In 1986 the company upgraded Nimbahera line No.3 by installing separate line calciner (SLC) with complete backward and forward integration of equipment from crusher to packing plant and increased the clinkerisation capacity of the plant from 0.42 mtpa to 1 mtpa. Subsequently from 1988 - 2000 the clinkerisation capacity of all the 3 units were upgraded by carrying out various modifications in the system and production has since been increased to 0.4 mtpa clinker for Kiln -1, 0.6 mtpa clinker for Kiln 2 & 1.6 mtpa clinker for Kiln 3.[7]

In 2023, the company announced their proposal to expand the capacity of clinker production from 5 mtpa to 5.2 mtpa and cement production capacity from 3.6 mtpa to 6.5 mtpa.[6][8]
