JK Cement Subsidiary to Add 75,000 KLPA Paint Capacity

JK Cement Limited's wholly owned subsidiary, JK Maxx Paints Limited, will establish a new water-based paint manufacturing plant in Telangana with a capacity of 75,000 KLPA.

The new facility is expected to be commissioned within 12 months of construction start, addressing the projected full utilization of the existing Bhiwadi plant by FY 2027-28. The Board also approved unaudited financial results for Q2 and H1 FY27 and recommended Price Waterhouse Chartered Accountants LLP as new statutory auditors.
