Transform Waste Into Energy

Nepal’s cement industry plays a vital role in building the nation’s infrastructure. While it has great potential, it also faces tough challenges. The sector has grown due to abundant limestone reserves and increasing construction projects. According to the Department of Geology and Mines, Nepal has 1.07 billion tonnes of high-quality limestone, with 420 million tons usable. By 2019, there were 65 cement factories in the country, capable of producing 13 million tonnes annually. However, actual production stood at 9.86 million tonnes. By 2028, the demand for cement is expected to reach 34.31 million tonnes, driven by Nepal’s goal to become a developing country by 2026 and large-scale infrastructure projects.
