Cherat Cement to set up new plant in Nowshera
AUGUST 6, 2014 11:10 AM

In order to increase cement production, Cherat Cement Company Limited is all set to set up a cement manufacturing plant in Nowshera at a cost of Rs 12 billion with a capacity to produce 1,300,000 tons cement per annum. Keeping in view the expected rise in the domestic demand of cement, the company has decided to install another production plant at its existing site in Nowshera, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

According to a notice sent to Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE), the plant will be acquired from M/s Tianjin Cement Industry Design and Research Institute Company Limited (TCDRI). The TCDRI is the largest cement plant manufacturer in China and has wide experience of installing cement plants world-wide and also in Pakistan. The plant will have a production capacity of over 1,300,000 tons per annum.

The new line is expected to be commissioned in 30 months time. The term loan for the project has been arranged and the letter of credit for the import of the foreign component has been established by the company. The total cost of the project is approximately Rs 12 billion.

As per All Pakistan Cement Manufacturers Association (APCMA ), increase in construction activities has pushed up cement demand at local level, as cement dispatches were recorded at about three million tones during the last four months. Market experts attributed the strong growth to pre-Ramadan rush of the private sector to complete projects, a more concerted effort from the cement industry to boost domestic sales before the fiscal year ends and peak demand from the Rawalpindi-Islamabad Metro Bus project is also a reason of increasing demand.

Experts anticipated similar volumetric trend in FY15 where domestic sales are likely to grow by 4-5 percent with key government projects like Metro Bus project which is expected to be completed by end of 2014 and Khanki barrage expected to boost domestic growth in 1HFY15

Bro .. Only news about powerplants don't know exact place ....

Every source say that there is one 1320 MW plant in RYK
 
Jigar is mulk main development kay do paimanay hain, Metro aur construction projects.

Exactly the construction of parks/mall/bridge/long buses/plazas etc is equivalent to development by Nooras logic.

Development should be the following
  • World class hospitals atleast 20...(hospitals of westerns standards or say agha khan hospital standard)
  • Universities at least 20 .....(some dedicated to engineering, some to health sciences some to material sciences, we need to improve our agricultural output by genetic engineering,we need human resources to develop our mineral wealth, we need social scientists and we need to dedicate our resources to bring atleast 10 universities in the top 200 in the next 5 years).
  • We need infrastructure development. Not metro buses. Infrastructure means dams, tax free economic zones, road network (yes khi-lhr motorway is being built but the cheaper option could have been the improvement of the existing road network.)
  • We need 100 percent education till 12th grade. Schools must be fully furnished and running. Our curriculum must be updated.
  • Police should be reformed/ overhauled.
  • Tax net should be increased and implemented.
  • Lower courts must be overhauled
When the above things will happen, yes Pakistan will be on the right path of development.

PS:- There was a story 3 cities in the matric english book in Punjab Board in 2002-2003. One city had beautiful buildings, one city had beautiful gardens and the last one had happy people..... you can guess which city won!!

IF THESE THINGS ARE THE SIGN OF DEVELOPMENT THEN GO FOR MALIK RIYADH (BAHRIA) AS PRIME MINISTER OF PAKISTAN
