05 September 2018

Nepal: A consortium of Nepal’s five commercial banks has approved credit worth US$140.5m to Hongshi Shivam Cement Private Limited, a Nepal-China joint venture company, in one of the largest ever finance pledges by Nepali commercial banks to any industry or infrastructure project. Company officials said that they would use the loan pledged by the commercial banks to start commercial production of cement at Hongshi Shivam’s 6000t/day plant.

The consortium led by Nepal’s NMB Bank, co-led by Nepal Investment Bank and participated in by Prabhu Bank, Everest Bank and Nepal SBI Bank, pledged the loan to the cement company, which has been conducting trial production of cement since May 2018.

The joint venture said that the loan was sought from Nepali banks to conclude financial closure of the cement plant. It has already received approval to inject Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) worth US$86m from Investment Board of Nepal and the central bank. The Chinese joint-venture partner has pledged to inject total FDI of US$360m, making it the largest FDI ever in the country’s cement industry.

Nepalese investment body delays signing agreement with Hongshi-Shivam Cement

22 August 2017

Nepal: The Investment Board Nepal has delayed signing a Project Investment Agreement (PIA) with China’s Hongshi-Shivam Cement due to ‘technical reasons.’ The joint venture is currently building a US$360m cement plant at Nawalparasi. The deal, which would have protected the interests of the foreign investor, has been deferred while Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba visits India in late August 2017, according to the Kathmandu Post newspaper. Sources quoted by the newspaper attribute the delay to tensions perceived by the Nepalese government regarding infrastructure projects backed by India and China. The agreement is expected to be signed on 3 September 2017.

Hongshi Shivam cement plant delayed by poor infrastructure

28 April 2017

Nepal: Hongshi Shivam Cement’s Sardi cement plant project in Nalwalparasi is likely to be delayed due to slow progress by the government in building a road to a nearby limestone quarry. The project was due to start production in May 2017 but the slow rate of investment by the Chinese firm’s state partner has caused this completion estimate to be revised, according to the Kathmandu Post. Other infrastructure requirements for the project that are slowing it down include a 40km road to the site and an electricity substation.
