JK Cement set to augment capacity with 2.0Mt/yr grinding plant

India: JK Cement is awaiting environmental clearance to commence construction of a 2.0Mt/yr grinding plant at Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh. The project has been valued at US$37.5m. Domex has reported that FLSmidth is in the process supplying machinery to the facility, for which civil work has been completed. Its 2.0Mt/yr Ordinary Portland and Portland Pozzolana Cement production capacity will bring JK Cement’s installed capacity to 12.9Mt/yr. It already grinds 3.0Mt/yr of clinker at its Mudhol grinding plant near Bagalkot in Karnataka.
