National cement supplies will significantly improve following the US$20m rehabilitation and restart of Khayah Cement’s clinker kiln, which resumed operations in early December 2025 after 26 months of inactivity.
The resumption is a major intervention to meet national cement demand.
Although the revived kiln will supply Khayah’s own clinker needs, national demand exceeds current domestic clinker production capacity. Discussions are underway for a new clinker manufacturing plant as a national strategic investment, requiring an investment of between US$150 million and US$200 million.
