India: JK Lakshmi Cement has introduced Green Pro LC3, one of India’s first commercially-available limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) products, which it says marks a key step towards expanding its low-carbon construction materials portfolio.
The company will produce the LC3 cement at its integrated Jaykaypuram plant in Sirohi, Rajasthan. Commercial dispatches are scheduled to begin in February 2026, with the initial rollout focused on institutional and project-led demand across northern and western India.
According to JK Lakshmi Cement, Green Pro LC3 enables a 40% reduction in CO2 emissions compared with ordinary Portland cement. The cement has been developed to improve durability, reduce permeability and enhance performance in large-scale and high-exposure construction applications. The LC3 formulation combines clinker, calcined clay, limestone and gypsum. The company said this composition offers higher resistance to chloride ingress and sulphate attack, lower heat of hydration and improved lifecycle performance, particularly in marine, coastal and high-temperature environments.
