Tajikistan: The Huaxin Gayur – Sughdcement 1Mt/yr cement plant in northern Tajikistan has been commissioned. The plant was built by the Tajik Ghayur-Sughd Cement company in partnership with the Chinese Huaxin Gayur Cement company. President Emomali Rahmon was present at the event.

Construction of the plant started in 2014 on the area of 48 hectares and it had an investment of US$127m. The plant employs more than 1300 people with over 90% from Tajikistan. A 25MW hydropower plant was also built to provide the plant with a regular electricity supply.

Tajikistan: Tajikistan is increasing its cement capacity in order to resume exports by 2020, Tajikistan's Ministry of Economic Development and Trade has reported.

Currently, there are six new cement plants operating in various capacities under construction, which will allow Tajikistan to cover its domestic needs, as well as to resume exports. The plants are being financed by domestic and foreign funding. Several medium and large capacity cement plants, including projects in Sughd and Khatlon, are being built thanks to Chinese investments.

The construction of the Tajikistan-China joint venture cement plant, Tajchina has already begun and is expected to start operation in 2015. Other cement plants are planned for construction in the Dangara, Bobokon, Gafurov, and Isfara districts, as well as in Istiklol city. Currently, the country's largest cement plant is Huaxin Gayur Cement, a joint venture between a subsidiary of China's Huaxin Cement and Gaur Limited Liability Company.

Tajikistan's Ministry of Industry and New Technologies said in January 2015 that six new cement plants would be established within the next two years. By improving the country's cement sector, which currently is comprised of 10 plants, Tajikistan expects to become a net cement exporter. Earlier, Tajikistan imported cement in large quantities from Pakistan, Iran and China.

Tajikistan: Tajikistan generated 496,600t of cement in the first six months of 2014, according to the Ministry of Industry and New Technologies. Tajikistan reportedly generated 385,000t of cement in 2013. The country is now intending to double its annual production of cement in 2014.

In September 2013, the Yovon cement plant (Huaxin Gayur Cement Co Ltd) started operation. It has reportedly produced 362,800t of cement in January - June 2014. This was over 70% of the overall volume of cement produced in Tajikistan in the first half of 2014.

Other cement plants in the country include the Tajikistan - China joint venture, Yovon cement, with a cement production capacity of 1Mt/yr. OJSC Tojikcement (Dushanbe cement plant) produced 101,600t of cement in the first half of 2014.

Tajikistan: Construction work on two cement plants with a total installed production capacity of 1.8Mt/yr has started in northern Tajikistan. President Emomali Rahmon attended the opening ceremonies of both plants.

The first plant, Ghayur-Sughd Cement - with a production capacity of 1.2Mt/yr - will be built in Ghafur district on a 48 hectare site. The plant will be built by the Tajik Ghayur company together with a Chinese partner, Huaksin Central Asia Investment. The cost of the project is over US$100m. After the plant is commissioned it will employ 1000 people. The first unit of the plant is scheduled for launch in 2015 and the second in 2016. Previously Tajik Ghayur and Huaksin built the 1Mt/yr Yuvon cement plant, which opened in 2013.

President Rahmon also attended the opening ceremony of the construction of Chjuntsay-Taboshar Cement plant. This 0.6Mt/yr plant is scheduled for completion in 2015 and it will employ nearly 500 people.

Tajikistan: A new 1Mt/yr cement plant in the Yovon district, Khatlon province is expected to start operation in late August 2013, according to the Ministry of Energy and Industry (MoEI). The US$100m project has been built by the Tajikistan-China joint venture Huaxin Gayur Cement.

"The construction of the plant has practically been completed and it just remains to complete the commissioning process," said an official source at a MoEI. It added that the plant will create 1000 new jobs. The Yovon cement plant will be powered by coal which will be delivered to the plant from the Fon-Yaghnob and Ziddi coalfields.

Huaxin Gayur Cement was established by Huaxin Zhongya Investment (Wuhan), a subsidiary of Huaxin Cement, and Gayur Limited Liability Company. Huaxin Zhongya Investment (Wuhan) holds 75% of the ownership and Gayur holds the remaining 25%.

According to the data from the MoEI, eight cement plants with a total cement production capacity of 1.5Mt/yr now operate in Tajikistan. Tajikistan's largest cement plant is OJSC Tojikcement (Dushanbe cement plant) with rated capacity of 1.1Mt/yr. However, this plant has not been in operation since January 2013 due to a lack of natural gas. Tajikistan's annual requirements in cement have sharply increased in connection with construction of the Roghun hydroelectric power plant, highways and other national infrastructure projects.

Tajikistan: Tajik-Chinese joint venture Huaxin Gayur Cement is building a 1Mt/yr cement plant in the Yovon district of Khatlon province, according to the Ministry of Energy and Industries (MoEI). The budget for the coal-powered plant is US$110m.

Elsewhere in Tajikistan a 50,000t/yr plant being built at Vahdat Township by Tajik-Chinese joint venture, Vahdat Hualun is nearing completion. It is expected to start operation during the first quarter 2013. A plant with a cement production capacity of 20,000t/yr in the northern city of Konibodom will start operation in the first half of 2013. Two cement plants funded by foreign investment in Danghara and Shahritous districts are also nearing completion. A 100,000t/yr plant in the Mastchoh district, Sughd province that opened in 2012 has plans to increase its capacity to 1Mt/yr.

According to data from the MoEI, eight cement plants with a capacity of 1.5Mt/yr currently operate in Tajikistan. The country's largest cement plant is OJSC Tojikcement (Dushanbe cement plant) with a capacity of 1.1Mt/yr. However it has not been in operation since the start of January 2013 due to a lack of natural gas.

Tajikistan's annual demand for cement has sharply increased in connection with construction of the Roghun hydroelectric power plant (HPP), highways and other facilities of the nationwide significance. Currently Pakistan is the main supplier of cement to Tajikistan.
