Shiva Cement expands Khatkurbahal Mine to commercialise 2.4 MTPA of dolomite
The approval enables the Company to commercially undertake mining and sale of dolomite from the block, marking the commencement of revenue generation from its dolomite operations. Dolomite is a key input across steel, cement, glass, refractories and allied industries, and the approval opens a new merchant sales stream for the Company while strengthening raw material security within the JSW ecosystem.
Commenting on this development, Nilesh Narwekar, Chief Executive Officer, of JSW Cement, said, “The expanded scope at Khatkurbahal (North) allows us to unlock significantly more value from a mineral resource we already operate. Being able to commercialise 2.4 million tonnes of dolomite a year — over and above our existing product slate — gives us a new revenue stream, deepens our presence in Odisha's mineral economy, and reinforces the raw material security that underpins our growth in eastern India. It is a good example of how disciplined resource utilisation, done within the framework of full environmental compliance, creates value for the business and for the region.”
Shiva Cement has its manufacturing facility strategically located at the geographical border of three Indian states – Odisha, Chhatisgarh and Jharkhand with close proximity to the raw materials required for the production.
JSW Cement continues to make progress on its approved expansion program to develop a pan India presence and reach 41.85 MTPA of grinding capacity along with 13.04 MTPA of clinker capacity. The company recently commenced production at the state-of-the-art, greenfield, integrated cement manufacturing plant in the district of Nagaur in Rajasthan – its first such facility in north India. With this foray into the northern region, the company’s total cement grinding capacity stands at 24.1 MTPA and the total clinker manufacturing capacity (including the clinker capacity at the company’s joint venture, JSW Cement FZC) stands at 9.74 MTPA.
