1. WHRS Commissioning at Shiva Cement: A Step towards Sustainability
Shiva Cement, a subsidiary of JSW Cement, has achieved a notable milestone with the successful commissioning of its waste heat recovery systems. These systems not only enhance operational efficiency but also contribute significantly to the reduction of carbon emissions. The utilization of waste heat to generate energy aligns with the company’s commitment to sustainability and minimizing its environmental footprint.

2. Record Clinker Production by Shiva Cement
In a noteworthy development, Shiva Cement is set to achieve its highest-ever clinker production this month. This accomplishment is a testament to the company’s dedication to optimizing production processes and increasing capacity. The increase in clinker production signifies not only enhanced operational efficiency but also the capability to meet growing market demand.

3. JSW Dolvi Expansion Success: Boosting Overall Capacity
JSW Dolvi, another subsidiary of JSW Cement, has successfully completed its expansion, increasing its capacity to 4.5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). This expansion contributes to JSW Cement’s overall capacity, which now stands at an impressive 19 MTPA. The expansion of JSW Dolvi demonstrates the company’s strategic approach to cater to the growing infrastructure and construction needs of the nation.

4. Ongoing Projects: Fueling Future Growth
JSW Cement’s expansion plans are not limited to the present achievements. The company is actively engaged in further expansion projects that will significantly boost its production capacity. Work is progressing at a rapid pace at the grinding unit in Vijayanagar and the new clinker line in the UAE. These projects, scheduled to be completed by December 2023, are poised to elevate JSW Cement’s capacity to an impressive 21 MTPA.

5. Ambitious Vision: Aiming for 60 MTPA in Five Years
JSW Cement’s remarkable achievements and strategic expansions reflect its ambitious vision for the future. The company aims to become India’s greenest cement company while positioning itself as a major player on the global stage. With the ongoing projects and their successful completion, JSW Cement is on track to achieve a capacity of 21 MTPA, and its ambitious goal is to further increase this capacity to a staggering 60 MTPA within the next five years.

Conclusion
The successful commissioning of WHRS, the record clinker production at Shiva Cement, the expansion of JSW Dolvi, and the ongoing projects all contribute to the company’s overarching vision.

Cement Firms to Invest Rs. 130 bn in Green Energy by FY28

Cement companies plan to expand clean energy capacity to 6 GW by FY28

India’s major cement companies are set to raise their clean energy capacity to 6 GW by March 2028 from around 4 GW at the end of March 2026, according to ratings agency ICRA. The planned expansion is expected to involve investments of Rs. 130 bn over the next two years.

The additional capacity could generate annual savings of Rs. 62 bn to Rs. 67 bn, resulting in an estimated payback period of 1.8 to 2.2 years. Cement is an emission-intensive industry, and leading producers have established net-zero roadmaps covering the next 15 to 20 years.

The calcination process accounts for 57 to 60 per cent of the sector’s total emissions, while fuel combustion contributes 27 to 30 per cent and electricity consumption accounts for 10 to 13 per cent. ICRA said the figures highlighted the need for a broad decarbonisation strategy involving green power, blended cement, alternative fuels and improvements in clinker efficiency.

Green energy is considered one of the most commercially attractive decarbonisation options because it can reduce emissions while lowering operating costs. Every 5 per cent increase in green power replacement can reduce power and fuel costs by Rs. 15 to Rs. 16 per tonne. A 25 per cent replacement level could therefore save Rs. 75 to Rs. 80 per tonne and expand operating margins by 140 to 160 basis points.

Cement producers are also assessing carbon capture, utilisation and storage, although high implementation costs, energy requirements and limited transport and storage infrastructure are expected to slow commercial adoption. The government has proposed Rs. 200 bn over five years to support deployment across key sectors. Meanwhile, companies are targeting thermal substitution rates of 10 to 15 per cent over the next three to five years, compared with the current industry level of around 6 per cent.
