Lucky Cement supercharges Congo capacity with major expansion

December 01, 2025 (MLN): Lucky Cement Limited (PSX: LUCK) is gearing up for a major international push as it is expanding its cement production capacity in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The company disclosed this development to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) today. 

The expansion will be carried out through Nyumba Ya Akiba (NYA), Lucky Cement’s joint venture with the Rawji Group.

NYA has approved the installation of a new, fully integrated cement manufacturing line with a capacity of 1.6 million tons per annum (MTPA).

Once operational, the upgrade will lift NYA’s total production capacity from 1.31 MTPA to 2.91 MTPA.

According to management, the decision comes amid a construction boom and sustained economic momentum in the DRC, where cement demand has surged steadily.

The enhanced capacity will not only meet soaring market requirements but also bolster NYA's operational efficiency, ensuring the company maintains its competitive edge in the region.

This expansion pushes Lucky Cement’s total global installed capacity across Pakistan, Iraq, and the DRC to 23.15 MTPA, further cementing its status as one of the leading regional manufacturers.

The company emphasized that entrepreneurship and diversification remain central to its strategy, with ongoing investments across automobiles, chemicals, agricultural sciences, mobile phone assembly, energy, and copper-gold mining.
