Brij Mohan Gragrani, the company executive director, said the new plant is expected to increase cement production from the current 1.8 million metric tons to 3 million metric tons per annum to meet the increasing demand of cement in the region.

Gagrani said they expect to scale up production capacity that will include construction of more cement grinding mill with the cement storage silos, rotary packers, clinker feeding system and clinker sheds for investments of $25-30 Million.

‘’The expansion is proposed in view of market demand in Uganda and the neighbouring countries,” he said.
