DG Cement is a Pakistani building materials company which is part of Nishat Group.[2][3] It is one of the largest cement manufacturer of Pakistan with a production capacity of 14,000 tons per day.[4][5]

It has three active plants which are present in Khairpur, Chakwal, Dera Ghazi Khan and Hub, Balochistan.[4]

History

[edit]

DG Cement was established in 1986 by state-owned company, State Cement Corporation of Pakistan in Dera Ghazi Khan.[6] The plant was supplied by Ube Industries of Japan.[6]

In 1992, DG Cement was acquired for PKR 1,799 million ($73.5 million) by Saigol Group under the privatization scheme of the Government of Pakistan.[7][8] Later, it was transferred to Nishat Group in a swap scheme in which Nishat Group acquired DG Cement and Saigol Group acquired Maple Leaf Cement from Nishat Group.[9][10]

In 1994, DG Cement initiated a $170 million expansion project at its Dera Ghazi Khan plant in Punjab, aiming to increase daily production by 3,300 tonnes, with an annual output of approximately 2 million tonnes.[11] The project was financed in part by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), which later approved a $10 million exposure for the facility in 1995.[11] The funding arrangement included risk management tools allowing DG Khan to foreign exchange hedge against Danish kroner and interest rate risks for up to eight years.[12] The project contract was awarded to FLSmidth and was denominated in Danish kroner.[11][13]

In 2004, DG Cement commissioned its second plant in Khairpur, Chakwal at a cost of PKR 9 billion.[14]

In 2015, DG Khan setup its third and one of the largest plant of Pakistan in Hub, Balochistan.[15]
