2. Introduction & History:
The industry was nationalized in 1972.
Cement industry is one of the few industries that
existed in Pakistan before the partition of the sub-
continent.
Pakistan has inexhaustible reserves of limestone and
clay, which can support the industry for another 50-60
years.
Besides producing OPC, the Pakistani cement industry
also started producing SRC, Slag cement and white
cement.
At the time of independence in 1947 there were four
cement factories with an installed capacity of 4 Lac
tons per annum.
3. Continue..
The cement sector contributes Rs.15-20 billion per
annum to the National Exchequer.
The industry in Pakistan is paying Rs.90 per bag as
excise duty as compared to Indian producers who
pay only Rs.17.50 per bag.
Now the price of bag is Rs.490.
The present demand for cement in Pakistan is around
9.5 million tons per annum.
Pakistan is a country rich in deposits of limestone,
shale and gypsum, which are the main ingredients for
the production of cement.
4. TYPES OF CEMENTS
The five types of cement manufactured in Pakistan are:
Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC)
Slag Cement.
Sulphate Resistant Cement (SRC)
Super Sulphate Resistant Cement (SSRC)
White Cement.
The chemical composition of cement is as under:
CaO 70%
SiO2 23%
Al2O3 04%
FE2O4 03%
5. MANUFACTURING PROCESS
The manufacturing process can be of any of the 3 types:
Wet Process; an obsolete method of manufacturing due to
poor kiln heating and large water requirements.
Semi-Wet Process; not popular due to high levels of fuel
and energy consumption and suited for materials with
extreme elasticity. Quite obsolete.
Dry Process; suitable for materials with low moisture
content. Low fuel usage as compared to the wet process,
less maintenance requirements, higher kiln efficiency due
to pre- heating facility and low kiln setup and maintenance
costs.
6. Revenue of Cement Sector
Pakistan cement sector continued
to deliver double profitability
growth as it grows by 13% to
Rs.46.6 Billion in the fiscal year
ended June 30,2016.

a much slower pace then it was before, now the
supply of the cement in the market is being
controlled by the cartel of the cement makers
association (APCMA). Since its inception
APCMA is deciding upon the price of the
cement to be offered to the public.

28 cement plants (23 private and 5
public sector) is 17.312 million tons. Of
these 8 are in Sind, 12 in Punjab, 5 in
NWFP, 2 in Baluchistan and 1 in

27. TAX PARTICPATION OF
CEMENT SECTOR
The cement sector contributes Rs.15-20 billion
per annum.
The industry in Pakistan is paying Rs.90 per
bag as excise duty as compared to Indian
producers who pay only Rs.17.50 per bag
The rapid escalation in excise duties has
transformed the sector to a loss making industry
from one that was earning around 35% profit
margin previously.
28. Apart from excise duty the
sector adds to the state
revenue in the form of:
Import duties on spares and parts
Excise duty on all raw materials
Provincial royalties on limestone,
gypsum etc.
29. CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS
EXPORTS
The industry in Pakistan is paying Rs.90 per bag
as excise duty as compared to Indian producers
who pay only Rs.17.50 per bag.
In the last six years, the export market has
shrunk.
whereas the industry exported about 10.98 million
tons (26% of its total production capacity) in
2008, the first five months of 2015-16 saw this
number drop to 2.56 million tons.
30. Reduction in exports was due
to two major factors:
Prohibitively high sales tax and excise duties
(both federal and provincial) make the price of
Pakistani cement uncompetitive in the
international market and
The drying up of traditionally thriving export
markets such as the UAE and South Africa
which have now built up their own cement
production capacities and no longer require
cement from Pakistan.
31. Market Segmentation
The cement market in Pakistan is divided into
two zones: the North zone and the South zone.
The North zone includes Punjab, Azad Kashmir,
N.W.F.P. and the upper region of Baluchistan. The
remaining area of the Baluchistan and entire
Sindh constitute the Southern zone.
The Northern zone has faced an under-supply
situation while the Southern zone has experienced
over-supply situation. The demand of the Northern
zone was used to be met by the production of the
Southern zone.
32. The number of plants is less
than double in the south zone
as compared to those in the
north but total production in the
latter region is nearly 3 times
that in the former area.
33. Recommendation
There is no any research & development center in the
cement sector that could work for efficiency in
production, quality, marketability and conducting
feasibility for production of new products, optimizing
production cost and expansion of cement industry.
The government should devise friendly policies in order
to promote and encourage the cement industry.
Government should decrease tax rate on cement which
is comparatively higher than other cement producing
countries.
34. Continue..
It is really very important for every industry to
adopt modern technology for improvement of its
production efficiency, so the cement industry
should adapt new and advanced technology in
order to produce best quality cement to meet the
local demand and export demands.
The government should make railway completely
operational because it is the most reliable and
cheapest source of transportation for not only
cement industry but also for the entire industry.
35. Conclusion
The role of cement industry in the economic
development had been very reasonable as it
contributed in the economy in terms of profit,
investment, returns to investors, taxes, assets, equities,
sales volumes and number of employees.
However, the performance of cement industry did not
remain satisfactory on account of optimum utilization of
the total capacity of plant and the achievement of
desired level of indigenization.
Cement industry plays a very important role in the
economic development of Pakistan.
