Udayapur Cement embarks on Rs500-million modernisation plan

Following the upgradation, the state-owned factory will churn out 1,100 tonnes of cement daily compared to the current 800 tonnes.

State-owned Udayapur Cement Industry has embarked on a Rs500 million modernisation plan in a bid to elbow into a market dominated by the private sector. The factory located in eastern Nepal plans to revamp itself to boost output, and be better placed to compete in the money-making sector where private manufacturers have an ever growing presence.
