BENGALURU (Reuters) -India's JSW Cement said on Tuesday it will invest around 30 billion rupees ($360.2 million) to set up a cement factory in the northern state of Rajasthan, in a bid to meet surging demand for the key construction material. Market leader UltraTech Cement said last month it will set aside $3.9 billion for ongoing capital expenditure over the next three years. JSW Cement's proposed unit will supply cement to Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab and the national capital region, marking the firm's entry into the country's northern market, which is dominated by Shree Cement and UltraTech.
