Cricket stadium on the cards in federal capital

ISLAMABAD: Even though the courts may have halted one plan to build a stadium in the federal capital, it seems civic administrators have not yet given up on the dream of bringing international cricket to the city with plans being mulled to build a facility in Sector F-9 Park.

Islamabad Metropolitan Corporation (IMC) Deputy Mayor Zeeshan Naqvi has said that the Planning and Development Department of the cricket board will design the map for the prospective stadium in Sector F-9 Park. Once complete, the map will be sent to the IMC for approval.

Once complete, Naqvi said that international cricket matches would be played in Islamabad. Moreover, cricket academies will be established in four new stadiums which are expected to be built in sector D-12 of the federal capital.

Former cricketers will train youngsters there.

In 2008 and in 2012, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) and the Pakistan Cricket Board had signed memorandums of understanding (MOU) to build a cricket stadium of international standards in the city.e

Initially, the plans suggested building the stadium over 35 acres in the Shakarparian area of the federal capital. However, the plan ran into trouble when it emerged that this area fell under the Margalla Hills National Park (MHNP) — a protected reserve.

The matter was challenged in court and in June 2018, the Supreme Court shot down the idea since such construction activity could not be conducted in a protected park.

Najam Sethi, the then chief of the PCB, had suggested that the top cricketing body of the country will look for alternative places in the city to build the stadium.

On the other hand, the CDA had accused the PCB of failing to fulfil the terms and conditions of the MoU.

Curiously, incumbent PCB Chairman Ehsan Mani was among those who had dismissed the viability of building a stadium of international calibre in the city at the time, noting that it would be bad for the city’s green image and would likely turn into a white elephant.

Instead, he had suggested that the Rs2 billion planned to be spent on building the stadium would be better spent upgrading the Rawalpindi cricket stadium which is located just five kilometres from Shakarparian.

Maple Leaf completes expansion of cement plant

April 17, 2019

KARACHI: In the backdrop of a reduction in development spending by the government, the cement sector, which has boosted its production capacity, is witnessing enhanced supplies and a sharp decline in demand, which has pushed down product prices.

“Maple Leaf Cement has completed the expansion of its new cement line,” the company reported.

“The company has undergone to set up an additional dry process clinker production line of 7,300 tons per day,” said the notice.

The company has made the expansion under the brownfield category, which gives some tax benefits, at the company’s existing site in Iskanderabad, according to the notice. The extension will help the company take grey cement production capacity up to 18,000 tons per day.

Maple Leaf signed the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract and opened a letter of credit on March 17, 2017 in favour of plant supplier FLSmidth A/S, Denmark for supplying and setting up the new production line.

The company has revised the cost of the project, which is estimated to be completed at a cost of Rs 26 billion, according to the notice. The cement manufacturer is financing 41% of the cost from its books while the remaining 59% is the debt. Despite announcement of the expansion, Maple Leaf share price rose just Rs0.12, which was attributed to the surplus production of cement in the country.

With the addition of Maple Leaf plant, the demand would further fall in the coming month of Ramazan, so prices in the northern region were expected to come under pressure, said Syeda Humaira Akhtar, Chartered Financial Analyst at BMA Capital Management Limited.

However, prices in the south will remain stable as demand growth is in double digits and there is no new supply.

Pakistan’s cement producers aim to increase their production capacity from 49.4 million tons per year to 72.8 million tons keeping in view the numerous projects under the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) and China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), according to the State Bank of Pakistan’s third quarterly report for fiscal year 2017-18.

“Demand in the northern region always comes from public-sector projects and they, relatively, do not have the option for export,” she said. However, “demand in the southern region comes from the private sector, which is intact, and it also has export option,” she added.

Northern region companies bear approximately an additional cost of $15 on every ton if they want to export cement.
