Background

The Ghori II cement plant was partially constructed adjacent to the existing Ghori I cement plant starting in 1986, but remained uncomplete for around three decades. In 2006, along with the Ghori I plant, Ghori II was privatized. In 2016, the Ghori II plant finally opened for production, with two wet production lines and a total capacity of around 1,000 tonnes per day, though actual production remained limited by shortages of electricity and vehicles.
