Afghanistan: Gulbahar Cement Factory has started construction of an upcoming US$143m, 1.1Mt/yr cement plant in Herat’s Zinda Jan district. Pajhwok Afghan News has reported that the plant will generate 5000 new jobs in the area.
Global Cement News previously reported plans for an expansion of the same capacity and price to the unfinished Injil cement plant outside Herat in October 2023. It remains unclear whether the latest news affects this project and possibly signifies a change of plans.
