Iraq: Government-owned Iraq Cement State Company (ICSC) has invited companies to bid for three projects to develop cement plants in the country. The first and second projects will develop two new integrated plants, each with a capacity of 6000t/day. The first facility is due to be developed in the Kufa quarries area in Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf Governorate, and the second is due to be developed in the Mosul district of Iraq’s Nineveh Governorate. The third project is focused on expanding the existing Hadbaa cement plant, which is also located in the Mosul district.
The scope of the project includes establishing a new dry-process, gas-fuelled line capable of producing 3200t/day of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and sulphate-resistant cement (SRC). The new line needs to be capable of producing cement suitable for dam filling, according to ICSC. ICSC has invited ‘Iraqi and Arab investors’ to participate in the projects, according to Yahoo, as well as companies specialised in developing cement plants. The deadline for submitting bids for all three projects is 23 June 2026.
