JSW Cement, a part of the JSW Group, has forayed into the ready mix concrete (RMC) business under the brand name 'JSW Concrete'.
It has set up its first commercial RMC unit in Chembur, Mumbai, Maharashtra and has plans to expand the business to other locations.
The RMC business foray follows the green products ethos of JSW Cement and will launch unique eco-friendly concrete for use in various commercial construction projects.
The RMC business foray is part of JSW Cement's strategy to offer the entire range of building material products to its customers.
This strategic business foray will augment the company's existing building materials portfolio comprising cement, construction chemicals and steel with concrete, thus elevating JSW Cement into the league of a handful of companies in India, offering complete building materials solutions under one roof.
Over the next five years, JSW Concrete plans to expand into the southern and western region of India.
Its Chembur unit, with a capacity of two X 60 cmph, will service the concrete requirements of construction projects in Central and South Mumbai.
Over the next 12 months, the company plans to establish three additional units in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) covering Navi Mumbai, Thane and Western line.
JSW Cement will focus on setting up these RMC units to cater to the concrete requirement of big infrastructure and commercial projects as well as housing projects within the catchment zones of Mumbai.
