The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) has resolved long-standing regulatory and procedural bottlenecks for the establishment of seven new cement plants with an estimated investment of around $700 million.
With facilitation from SIFC and the Government of Punjab, and in coordination with relevant stakeholders, approvals have been fast-tracked for major 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.
The approval process is expected to accelerate project execution and improve investor confidence in the sector.
The new investments will strengthen domestic cement production, reduce reliance on imports, and enhance the sector’s export potential.
They are also expected to reinforce Pakistan’s broader industrial ecosystem by generating employment opportunities across multiple segments while stimulating allied industries such as construction, logistics, and energy.
