We do not want to trade with India because encouraging trade would diffuse threat perception make the Pakistani Army unemployed

Massive demand for Pak cement in South Asian, African markets

KARACHI: The export of cement to India and Vietnam is viable through land routes since there is a huge demand for Pakistani cement in these countries, while East Africa in general, and Uganda and Tanzania, in particular, could be other potential export venues for Pakistani cement, said speakers of conference at a local hotel here Thursday.

In the next 10-15 years, India may become a blue-chip market for Pakistan cements as its reserves of limestone are rapidly dwindling. Moreover, inter-state Indian tax issues and logistics make it difficult for various states to buy cement from each other, thus, allowing them to prefer importing cement from Pakistan. The demand of cement in India is more than 1 million tons per annum (1mn tpa).

Al Habib Capital Market Ltd (AHCML), a subsidiary of Bank Al-Habib, conducted a cement conference with Irfan Chawla and Irfan Amanullah as guest speakers to grapple with the ever-changing dynamics of the cement sector of Pakistan.

Speakers of the moot said that a higher potential for Pakistan rested abroad since excess capacities in China have curtailed, substantially on the back of environmental concerns, while demand from Bangladesh (5mn tpa), the largest clinker importer from China, is constant.

The quality of Pakistani cement remains far more superior to Iranian cement, earning Pakistani cement recognition and trust abroad, they said.

Moreover, the speakers remained sceptic of the Basha-Diamer Dam mentioning that the dam is situated in a disputed territory, thereby making it unlikely to attract foreign investment from an international financial institution. If, however, the dam project is successful, it is expected to generate a cumulative 5 million tonnes incremental demand for cement.

Recently, LUCK and ACPL have exported clinker from South Asian countries and explored avenues for Pakistan clinker abroad. ACPL has recently inked a deal for the export of 150,000 tons of clinker at $34/ton FOB, Karachi. However, the margin on this deal is almost negligible as the key focus of management was to explore new markets and develop long-term relationships with dealers abroad.

With the recent commissioning of 1.3 million tons expansion by LUCK and 1.2 million tons expansion of ACPL, the upcoming 2.8 million tons expansion of DGKC in South is expected to temporarily disrupt pricing mechanism in South. In the short-term anxiety and imminent price-war fears loom, however, in the long run, the management foresees that things will settle down.

Regional, political stability has also paved way to further stimulate economic and infrastructure development facilitating cement off-take in the local market.

In North, prices have increased by about Rs30/bag recently but only selectively. Furthermore, any price increments in future will depend upon steps to be announced in Budget 2018-19 especially those related to FED and other charges dictating its cost, hence its price.

Oops lackluster India:


China produces the most cement globally by a large margin, at an estimated 2.4 billion metric tons in 2017, followed by India at 270 million metric tons. China currently produces over half of the world’s cement.

Lol the article is related to India Pak, not Indo China. Did Modi had a hand in reducing our capacity to 270 million metric tons ? Or did he eat away the limestone so that we are stuck in capacity ?

Can't resist your trolling can't you ?

Yes there is a huge demand for Pak cement as it cost less to import from Pakistan than to take from southern India.

High Quality Pakistani cement.

Poor quality Indian cement.


Learn the truth.

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

With CPEC entire road infrastructure of the country is being upgraded so naturally cement is well demand in Pakistan now and the operators are eyeing opportunity to export it because of the surplus.

 

[Baby Leone]

Pakistani companies are unable to meet High demand of cement in Pakistan due to construction boom every where how are they able to export?

Cement exports have been in decline since 2008-09 when they peaked at 10.8m tonnes

Nobody is interested in buying pakistani cement. Export to India is also reduced while Indian export of cement has increased.

Go to China forum and cry there

I think education is not one of the areas of priority for pakistan. Let me repeat it for you in simple words....Pakistan cement exports have fallen....their export to India is fallen and is now at negligible level.

Indian Export of cement has increased and is now among top 10 cement exporting nations.

As far as MoU is concerned....do look into the definition of it. Corrupt and cheater pakistanies will not be allowed to earn a single penny.

indian export to low income countries s indians themselves prefer not to buy cheap indian product and prefer to buy Pakistan or Chinese cement now go and commit suicide you frustrated indian

 

[GodToons]

This article has Asok level of IQ, let me explain why:
Moreover, inter-state Indian tax issues and logistics make it difficult for various states to buy cement from each other, thus, allowing them to prefer importing cement from Pakistan. The demand of cement in India is more than 1 million tons per annum (1mn tpa).

With GST, this whole issue is nullified.

As far as Indian cement exports are concerned then here is the list

1. SriLanka (Pakistan is dirt poor in front of Srilanka)
2. Nepal (Pakistan is ahead)
3. Kuwait (pakistanis work as labors in Kuwait)
4. maldives ( Pakistan is dirt poor in front of Maldives)


As ypu can see these low income countries are buying Indian cement and even though Pakistan is begging us to buy their cement but we cant rely on cheap, low quality cement so sorry.....

Wether you buy the cement from us or not, it’s not a big issue however the big issue is dealing with a retard like you who thinks the world is only consists of endia nepal Maldives and Sri Lanka, hope that cement will also help you to build toilets in your country. With your dhoti already down hope the business would be as usual.
