Pakistan: Fecto Cement has temporarily suspended operations at its 1Mt/yr cement plant in Sangjani, Islamabad. According to the company, the plant is its primary manufacturing facility and serves northern Pakistan and export markets in Afghanistan. The suspension is reportedly due to administrative issues and ‘procedural matters with local authorities.’
The company did not provide an estimate for when it expects production to resume, but said that it ‘does not foresee any long-term adverse impact’ on its financial position.
