India: The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has approved a US$684m deal related to Dalmia Cement’s acquisition of cement, clinker and power plants of Jaiprakash Associates Limited (JAL).

Dalmia Cement says that the acquisition - which includes 9.4Mt/yr of cement capacity, 6.7Mt/yr of clinker capacity and 280MW of power generation capacity - will allow it to expand its footprint into the central region and transform into a pan-Indian company. More than half of JAL’s cement capacity is in central India. Dalmia Cement anticipates reaching a cement production capacity of 75Mt/yr by the 2027 fiscal year and, due to other expansion plans, 110 - 130Mt/yr by the 2031 fiscal year.

This latest transaction, once approved by the relevant regulators, will see the complete exit of JAL from the cement business.
