JK Lakshmi Cement has been selected as the preferred bidder for the new Umrangso limestone block in Assam, according to a recent announcement.
JK Lakshmi Cement was declared the preferred bidder for a newly identified limestone block at Umrangso in Assam, as reported by scanx.trade. The declaration follows a competitive bidding process aimed at securing raw material sources for cement production in the region.
The selection is expected to strengthen the company's supply chain by providing a domestic source of high‑grade limestone, a key ingredient in cement manufacturing. Industry analysts note that securing such reserves can enhance production stability and reduce dependence on imported raw materials.
The company will now move to finalize contractual terms and obtain the necessary clearances from state authorities. Completion of the deal is anticipated to occur in the coming weeks, after which extraction activities may commence, subject to environmental and regulatory approvals.
