Full project details are available via Projects India's Cement & Asbestos project tracker.
Broader Cement Sector: 1,043 Projects Tracked Nationally
The financial result sits against a backdrop of significant capital activity across India's cement sector. Projects India currently tracks 1,043 projects in the Cement & Asbestos sub-sector, with 11 added in the last 90 days alone.
The stage breakdown of tracked projects reveals where activity is concentrated:
- Under Approvals: 449 projects — the largest single cohort, indicating a substantial volume of capacity that has not yet cleared regulatory hurdles
- Completed: 207 projects
- Construction Started: 138 projects — live sites where procurement and contracting activity is active
- Hold: 81 projects
- Planning: 78 projects
- Approvals Received: 49 projects — cleared for execution and likely to move to construction in the near term
The 138 projects at Construction Started stage and the 49 at Approvals Received represent the most immediately actionable pipeline for suppliers, equipment makers and civil contractors. The full Industrial Projects sector overview provides additional context on project distribution.
State-Level Geography: Where Cement Investment Is Concentrated
Projects India's data shows a clear geographic concentration of cement-sector investment. Andhra Pradesh leads with 144 tracked projects, followed by Rajasthan (113), Madhya Pradesh (103), Karnataka (81), Gujarat (73) and Uttar Pradesh (61). These six states together account for the majority of tracked project activity in the sub-sector.
Recent high-value additions to the tracked pipeline include a proposed Rs 11,000 crore new cement plant by JK Lakshmi Cement at Umrangso, Assam, currently under approvals, and a Rs 2,597 crore plant by My Home Industries at Palnadu, Andhra Pradesh, also under approvals. A Rs 1,661 crore cement grinding unit by The Shyam Sel & Power at Paschim Barddhaman, West Bengal, has entered the construction stage. These projects illustrate the geographic spread of new capacity investment beyond the traditional southern and western clusters.
Elsewhere in the sector, JSW Cement recently commissioned a 1 MTPA grinding unit in Nagaur, Rajasthan, adding to the state's growing cement manufacturing base.
What this means for suppliers and contractors
India Cements' return to profitability — as reported by ET Realty — may support renewed or continued capital expenditure across its existing project portfolio. Suppliers and contractors engaged with the company's sites in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh should monitor project stage progressions closely.
More broadly, the 449 projects currently under approvals nationally represent a forward pipeline of potential procurement activity. As approvals clear, a proportion of these will move to construction, generating demand for cement plant equipment, civil construction services, bulk material handling systems, captive power solutions and logistical support.
The 81 projects on hold also warrant periodic attention: hold status can be reversed by financing events, regulatory clearances or, in some cases, improved company financials such as the kind of profit recovery ET Realty has reported for India Cements. Contractors with existing relationships in the sector should track these closely. Projects India's full database of tracked projects is accessible at projectsinindia.ai/projects.
