Lucky Cement Upgrades Yearly Output By 300,000 Tons At Karachi Plant

Lucky Cement Limited has completed and commissioned a Process Optimization and Capacity Enhancement Project at its Karachi plant, increasing the facility’s annual cement production capacity by approximately 300,000 tons.

In a notice submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Wednesday, the company said the project has increased the Karachi plant’s annual production capacity from 5.05 million tons to 5.35 million tons.

As a result, Lucky Cement’s total annual cement production capacity has risen to 15.6 million tons, further strengthening its position as Pakistan’s largest cement manufacturer.

The company said the capacity increase was achieved through the optimization and modernization of its existing cement production lines rather than the installation of a new production line.

Besides increasing output, the project is expected to improve the plant’s operational efficiency by reducing specific fuel consumption and lowering coal usage per ton of cement produced. The company added that these improvements are also expected to reduce the carbon intensity of its operations while supporting more efficient use of resources.

Lucky Cement said the project aligns with its long-term strategy to enhance manufacturing efficiency, create value for shareholders, and contribute to Pakistan’s industrial development and sustainability goals.
