Qarshi Conch Cement’s (Anhui Conch Cement Co Ltd) new 1.2Mta cement plant in Karshi, Uzbekistan, is expected to become operational in December 2020, according to the country’s Cabinet of Ministers.

The parent company attracted US$150.5m to finance the project, including the supply of materials, equipment and external infrastructure. Karshi was reportedly chosen as the location due to its abundance of limestone and loess rocks.

Since the plant is scheduled to start production at the end of 2020, the company was allowed to carry out construction and installation work with the parallel development of project-estimate documentation for a period up to 1 September 2020, according to the Uzbekistan Newsline.
