DG Khan Cement has announced a major expansion plan with the installation of Pakistan’s largest single clinker production line at its Dera Ghazi Khan plant. The new line will have a production capacity of 11,000 tonnes per day, making it the biggest single clinker line in the country once completed.
To move the project forward, the company has opened a Letter of Credit, signaling that procurement and execution are now underway. This step reflects DG Khan Cement’s commitment to strengthening its production base and preparing for long term growth despite current challenges in the cement sector.
The new clinker line is expected to significantly increase the company’s overall clinker and cement capacity. By expanding at its Dera Ghazi Khan site, DG Khan Cement aims to improve operational efficiency and secure a stronger position in Pakistan’s northern region, where demand remains comparatively stable.
The expansion comes at a time when cement exports are under pressure due to regional competition and higher freight costs, while domestic demand shows mixed trends amid economic uncertainty. Industry experts believe that increasing clinker capacity will help DG Khan Cement manage costs more effectively and maintain supply reliability during peak demand periods.
DG Khan Cement is one of Pakistan’s leading cement manufacturers, with operations spread across multiple locations. The company has consistently focused on capacity expansion, efficiency improvements, and modernization to stay competitive in a challenging market.
Once operational, the new clinker line is expected to support infrastructure development, create employment opportunities in the region, and contribute positively to the country’s construction and housing sectors. The project also highlights continued private sector investment in Pakistan’s industrial landscape despite broader economic pressures.
