JSW Cement Declared Preferred Bidder for Sikilangso Limestone Block in Assam

JSW Cement has been named the preferred bidder for the mining lease of the Sikilangso Limestone Block in Umrangso, located in the Dima Hasao district of Assam. The company secured the blocks following a competitive e-auction conducted by the Government of Assam. The lease encompasses two separate sections—Part A and Part B—each covering 200 hectares, for a total mining area of 400 hectares.

This acquisition is a strategic move to bolster JSW Cement’s raw material supply chain as it aggressively expands its footprint in the Northeastern region. The company is currently on a major growth drive, aiming to nearly double its grinding capacity to approximately 41.85 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) by 2028. By securing these captive limestone reserves, JSW Cement aims to ensure long-term resource security for its manufacturing operations, supporting its broader goal of achieving a 60 MTPA capacity in the future. The company officially disclosed the development to the stock exchanges on March 2, 2026, marking a significant milestone in its backward integration strategy.
