Karachi, July 14, 2025 – In a major step towards sustainable industrial practices, Dewan Cement Limited has announced the successful installation of a 6-megawatt solar energy unit at its manufacturing facility located in the southern region of Pakistan.
This significant development was disclosed through an official communication to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Monday.
The new solar power system has been installed at Dewan Cement’s production site in Deh Dhando, Dhabeji, District Malir, Karachi. According to the company, the renewable energy unit is already operational and is currently supplying more than 50 percent of the plant’s total energy needs. This shift is expected to bring notable energy cost savings and reduce dependence on imported fuel, which remains a burden on Pakistan’s energy import bill.
The initiative reflects Dewan Cement’s broader strategy of integrating clean and renewable energy sources into its industrial cement production processes. The company emphasized that this move is in line with its commitment to environmental sustainability and operational efficiency, while also reinforcing its position as a responsible corporate entity.
Founded with a vision to deliver premium quality construction materials, Dewan Cement Limited is an ISO 9001:2015 certified company and a recognized name in Pakistan’s cement manufacturing sector. The company has an annual production capacity exceeding 2.8 million tons, operating through two manufacturing arms—Pakland Cement Ltd. and Saadi Cement Ltd.
Pakland Cement Ltd., established in 1981, laid the foundation of Dewan Cement’s manufacturing excellence. Starting with a modest capacity of 300,000 tons per annum, the plant expanded quickly and began producing superior Ordinary Portland Cement. It later introduced Sulphate Resisting Cement in 1987, a pioneering product in Pakistan’s private sector. Over time, additional products like Blast Furnace Slag Cement were added, all supported by cutting-edge technology.
With this latest green energy project, Dewan Cement has taken a leadership role in promoting eco-conscious manufacturing in the cement industry. As global demand grows for climate-resilient infrastructure, Dewan’s investment in solar power strengthens its competitive edge while contributing to Pakistan’s renewable energy goals.
