Fauji Cement Company Limited (FCCL), one of the largest cement manufacturers in Pakistan, has successfully commissioned its Greenfield Cement Manufacturing Plant in Dera Ghazi Khan, Punjab.
The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) was notified of the development by the cement manufacturing and sales company on Thursday.
“We are pleased to inform that FCCL has successfully commissioned its Greenfield Cement Manufacturing Plant on 30 November 2023, having a production capacity of 6,500 tons per day of clinker at Shadan Lund, district Dera Ghazi Khan,” read the notice.
According to FFCL, the new line’s start of operation has expanded the company’s annual cement production capacity to 10.6 million tons, solidifying Fauji Cement Company’s ranking as the nation’s third-largest cement producer.
“The Greenfield Project was finished in a record-breaking 13 months,” it continued.
FCCL shared that the project includes state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment and also includes emissions control features and a Waste Heat Recovery Power Plant.
“The addition of this Greenfield Cement Plant at an extremely impoverished area of Shadan Lund in Southern Punjab will not only provide a livelihood to the locals but will also help in major uplift of the area,” FCCL said.
Fauji Cement further informed that well before the commissioning of the plant, the company initiated major CSR projects like providing clean drinking water, healthcare and solar systems to the local community.
