The manufacturing process is more complex, requires higher firing temperatures, and produces a pure white clinker that is used for architectural finishes, grouting between floor tiles, and high-quality wall plaster finishes. White cement commands 2 to 3x the price per tonne of grey cement due to raw material purity requirements and additional manufacturing complexity. India produces approximately 6 to 8 million tonnes of white cement annually \u2014 a fraction of grey cement volumes \u2014 making it a premium specialty market.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_JK_Wall_Putty_and_why_is_it_strategically_valuable_for_JK_Cement\"><\/span><strong>What is JK Wall Putty and why is it strategically valuable for JK Cement?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> JK Wall Putty is a white cement-based wall finishing compound used to fill minor surface irregularities and create a smooth base coat before applying emulsion paint on walls. Every new residential and commercial building in India uses wall putty before painting \u2014 creating a large, recurring, and growing market. JK Wall Putty benefits from JK Cement&#8217;s white cement manufacturing expertise and distribution network \u2014 extending the white cement franchise into a consumer product that reaches every painter and contractor rather than just the construction cement market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JK Cement share pros and cons: India&#8217;s 2nd-largest white cement maker
