JSW Cement Limited is a subsidiary, a new foray of the 12 billion dollar JSW Group based in Mumbai. The company has three cement production units - two grinding units in Vijayanagara adjacent to the JSW Steel plant near Bellary, Karnataka and Dolvi, Maharashtra and an integrated cement plant in Nandyal, Andhra Pradesh. The units have a combined capacity of 14 million tonnes per year.
JSW Cement is leading the way in promoting PSC variant of cement in South India. Portland slag cement (PSC) is also known as green cement as it generates least amount of CO2 during production and also generates the least heat during hardening.
JSW Cement also produces GGBS (ground granulated BF slag) which can be used as replacement to ordinary Portland cement and is being widely used in the metropolitan cities mainly by the RMCs[clarification needed]. GGBS can replace up to 60% OPC[clarification needed] in the concrete mix which also makes economic sense for these RMC manufacturers.[3]
The company has also purchased a controlling stake in Shiva Cement.[4]
