JSW Cement is leading the way in promoting PSC variant of cement in South India. Portland Slag Cement (PSC) also known as green cement as it generates least amount of CO2 during production and also generates least heat during concreting.

JSW Cement also produces GGBS (Ground Granulated BF slag) which can be used as replacement to Ordinary Portlance cement during concreting and is being widely used in the metropolitan cities mainly by the RMC's.GGBS can replace up to 60% OPC in the concrete mix which also makes economic sense for these RMC manufacturers.[2]

The company has also purchased a centrolling stake in Shiva Cement.[3]
