01 November 2021

Pakistan: Fauji Cement says that two planned cement plant projects will increase its total cement production capacity by 64% to 10.5Mt/yr by mid-2023, from 6.4Mt/yr at present. The producer plans to establish a 2.05Mt/yr cement plant at Dera Ghazi Khan. After its commissioning before mid-2023, the plant’s capacity will more than double to 5.65Mt/yr. Subsidiary Askari Cement is expanding its 2.8Mt/yr Nizampur cement plant’s capacity by 73% to 4.85Mt/yr. The group estimates that the total 4.1Mt/yr-worth of new capacity will increase its national cement market share to 13% from 6.7%. It says that this will make it the second largest cement company active in Northern Pakistan, after Bestway Cement.

Fauji Cement said that it is well positioned for growth. It generated 70% of the power consumed in its operations in 2020 itself.

Sri Lanka: Lanwa Sanstha Cement says that it will commission its Hambantota grinding plant in the Mirijjawila export processing zone of Hambantota International Port in January 2022. The company says that the plant will have a capacity of 3Mt/yr and cost US$80m. The Daily News newspaper has reported that the owner aims to help to counteract the domestic cement shortage.

Chair Nandana Lokuwithana said "One of the highlights of this first-of-its-kind facility in Sri Lanka will be the emphasis on new technology, with all mixing carried out using the latest European technology, while much of the other equipment used throughout the production process has been customised by world-renowned pioneers in innovation with environmental friendliness in mind." He added "Packaging is done using state-of-the-art technology for improved efficiency and minimal wastage."

Once commissioned, the Hambantona plant will produce ordinary Portland cement (OPC), Portland slag cement (PSC), Portland limestone cement (PLC) and blended hydraulic cement (BHC), according to Lanwa Sanstha Cement.
