The Indian cement industry is undergoing changes that bring both short-term and long-term impacts. Amid this, JK Lakshmi Cement is poised to grow with the addition of new capacities through brown-fielding in its existing plants as well as upcoming green-field projects.
“We are working on making our structures, systems and processes more agile to new-age requirements. We have made significant investments in our human capital to enhance both capacity and capability in line with our ambitious growth plans,” informs Vinita Singhania. Besides cement, the company has recently grown in various product segments in its value-added products business vertical.
“With our growth mindset, we look at industry changes as an opportunity to enhance our competitiveness and take advantage of upcoming opportunities. Our leadership team and employees are making strides to ensure we become one of the most profitable companies in the industry,” Singhania adds.
The company is eyeing growth opportunities in rural areas and urban areas. Singhania believes that innovation in cement and value-added products will create newer segments to drive its growth, which she has spelt out as the company’s top priority.
She also points out that even as gender parity has improved in the last decade, it is far from desirable and all social constituents must come together to accelerate the induction and integration of women workforce in various sectors.
