JSW Group to Invest in Cement Manufacturing and Other Sectors in Assam.

JSW Group Chairman Sajjan Jindal announced recently that the company will invest in cement manufacturing, renewable energy, and thermal power sectors in Assam. Speaking at the Advantage Assam 2.0 Investment and Infrastructure Summit, Jindal reaffirmed JSW Group’s commitment to contributing to the state’s rapid development.

Jindal shared his personal connection with Assam, recalling childhood visits to his maternal grandparents in Tinsukia. "When I used to visit as a kid, my grandfather would tell me tales of bravery about local legends. Now, when I return, I am glad to see the development taking place here," he said.

Highlighting the Northeast's strategic role in India's economic growth, Jindal stated, "As India is poised to become the third-largest economy in the world, the Northeast region has a major role to play. The Prime Minister has emphasized that the country will grow when the Northeast grows." He added that the region is now progressing at the same pace as the rest of the country, backed by expanding national highways, airports, and logistics parks.

JSW Group is particularly focused on investing in Assam’s cement manufacturing sector. "Power is another key sector driving development. We are looking into investments in renewable and thermal power projects, including the largest thermal power plant in the state, to support its fast-paced growth," Jindal said.

He also praised the Assam government's efforts in attracting industries, expressing optimism that the summit would help position the state as a global investment hub.
