DG Khan Cement Company Limited (DGKC), one of Pakistan’s leading cement producers, announced on December 31, 2025, the establishment of a Letter of Credit for a groundbreaking brownfield project: the country’s largest single clinker production line with a capacity of 11,000 tons per day. The new line will be installed at Mauza Khofli Sattai, Dera Ghazi Khan site, further strengthening the company’s presence in southern Punjab. This development, disclosed via a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange, marks a significant step toward enhancing production efficiency and capacity.
Boosting Capacity Amid Market Challenges
Currently operating with a total clinker capacity of around 22,400 tons per day across its plants in Dera Ghazi Khan, Khairpur, and Hub, DGKC aims to solidify its position as a top player in the industry. The 11,000 tpd line surpasses previous records, including the company’s own 9,000 tpd facility at Hub. Established in 1978, DGKC supplies domestic markets through over 2,200 dealers and exports to regions like Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Central Africa. Despite a 26.53% year-on-year decline in national cement exports in November 2025, this expansion signals confidence in long-term demand recovery, driven by infrastructure needs and modest domestic resilience. The project underscores DGKC’s commitment to scaling operations and leveraging its Nishat Group backing for sustained growth in a competitive sector.
