Pakistan’s cement industry is set for a major expansion as the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) has cleared regulatory and procedural hurdles for the establishment of seven new cement plants, attracting an estimated $700 million in investment.
The initiative, facilitated in coordination with the Government of Punjab and relevant stakeholders, has fast-tracked approvals for leading industry players including Flying Cement Company Limited, Lucky Cement Limited, Bhutta Cement, Asian Precious Minerals Limited, Orient Cement (Private) Limited, Dandot Cement Company Limited, and Maple Cement.
Officials said the streamlined approval process is expected to speed up project execution, strengthen investor confidence, and support long-term industrial growth.
The development aligns with broader efforts by the Special Investment Facilitation Council to improve the investment climate in Pakistan by reducing bureaucratic delays and improving coordination among regulatory bodies.
The new cement plants are expected to boost domestic production capacity, reduce reliance on imports, and enhance export potential. The expansion will also generate significant employment opportunities and stimulate allied sectors such as construction, logistics, and energy.
