Pakistan: Power Cement reported profits rising to US$9m in the first nine months of the 2026 financial year from US$1.25m in the same period of 2025, reportedly driven by sales growth and improved margins. This growth was largely attributed to a 61% rise in clinker exports, which was bolstered by the ongoing Middle East conflict. The sales for the period consisted of 54% local despatches and 46% exports, with exports comprising 70% clinker and 30% cement. The company also reported full capacity utilisation at its Line-III production facility, an increase from the previous year's 92%. In the domestic market, Power Cement maintained a 20% market share in southern Pakistan during the reporting period.
