Cement sector continues expansion

The cement production capacity of Attock Cement has risen to 5,985 tonnes per day after its line-2 started production on Thursday.

The new line will produce 2,520 tonnes of cement a day, according to a notice sent to the Karachi Stock Exchange.

Earlier, the company had enhanced its clinker production capacity to 5,700 tonnes a day in June. This raise in capacity is one of the many expansions planned and executed by the cement industry during the last six months.

Lucky Cement was the first to enhance its production capacity while others followed suit. Lucky is now the largest cement maker in the country.
