Kanpur-based JK Cement Ltd today reported a more than six fold jump in its net profit at Rs 34 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, as compared to Rs 4.9 crore in the year-ago period.  
 
Gross turnover during the quarter rose by 25 per cent at Rs 331.1 crore as against Rs 264.9 crore in the corresponding period last year, the company release said. 
 
The gross turnover has increased due to rise in production of white cement and improved realisation of grey cement, it said.
