The cement price in Pakistan has increased by up to Rs120 per bag after the federal government jacked up federal excise duty on cement along with other commodities in the Budget 2024-25.
The revision in federal excise duty FED on cement bag pushed price of each 50kg bag to around Rs1330, as compared to previous price of Rs1280. The price of cement bags are expected to hit around Rs1370 in upcoming days.
The federal government in budget 2024-25 has imposed a higher FED on cement to Rs. 4 per kg compared to Rs2 in the previous fiscal year.

These price hikes are significant for the construction industry and consumers alike. Keeping track of these changes is crucial for anyone planning construction projects or involved in the building sector.
The rising costs will likely impact budgeting and project planning, making it essential to stay updated on cement price trends.
