Power Cement Ltd reported a significant turnaround in 9MFY26, with profit rising to PKR2.5bn (US$8.98m) from PKR348m in the same period last year, driven by higher volumes, stronger margins, and operational efficiencies. 

Total offtakes increased 17 per cent YoY to 1.9Mt, supported by a 61 per cent YoY rise in clinker exports, allowing for expansion into new international markets amid Middle East conflict. Production costs were reduced to PKR8,536/t through energy efficiency projects, including solar and waste heat recovery, while management projects 5-7 per cent local demand growth and sustained export margins.
