Sindh Engro Coal Mining Company and Power Cement Ltd have signed an agreement (MoU) to test Thar Coal in their cement production facilities.
The purpose of this agreement is to use coal in industries other than electricity generation and to demonstrate that Thar Coal is essential for Pakistan’s overall development. The memorandum was signed by Sindh Engro Coal Mining Company CEO Amir Iqbal and Power Cement CEO Kashif Habib.
Under the terms of the agreement between the two parties, Power Cement will conduct a trial run of Thar Coal for cement production in their kilns, thereby reducing their demand for imported coal.
Sindh Engro Coal Mining Company CEO Amir Iqbal said Thar Coal can solve Pakistan’s economic problems. Thar Coal’s value as a cement industry raw material has increased due to the international coal price spike and Pakistan’s foreign exchange crisis.
CEO of Power Cement Mr. Kashif Habib said Thar Coal’s continuous availability and affordable price make it a great resource.
Thar Coal is Pakistan’s game-changer.
