The construction of a new cement factory in Jabal Saraj, north of Kabul, marks a significant milestone in reducing Afghanistan’s dependency on imported cement. This factory, being developed with an investment of $220 million by Al-Falah Al-Alami Company, is set to transform the country’s industrial landscape.

Alfalah ul Alami (AUA) as a profit-based company contracted by Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, in partnership with national international companies including Awfi Bahram and Almoham, is dedicated to establishing a cement factory that produces high-quality cement products in Afghanistan.
 

The Al-Falah Cement Factory is currently being constructed in the Jabal Al-Sarraj district of Parwan province. It is situated amidst vineyards and on mineral-rich hills and mountains. This project is a collaboration between Al-Falah Alami, Awfi Bahram and Almoham Companies.
 

With a historic investment of $220 million, the cement production factory aims to produce high-quality cement in Afghanistan. It will have a daily capacity of five thousand tons, meeting both international standards and domestic market demands. This development is expected to significantly reduce Afghanistan's reliance on cement imports from regional and neighboring countries.
 

In order to address the critical energy needs of production factories in the country, the Al-Falah Cement Factory plans to construct a strategic power plant as well. This power plant is designed to generate 49 megawatts of electricity, eliminating the factory's dependence on imported power from neighboring countries.
 

Apart from constructing the infrastructure for the cement production line, the factory is investing around three million dollars in filters to mitigate vapor-related pollution. Additionally, it has implemented practical and strategic plans to introduce greenery in the vicinity of the factory, aiming to prevent air pollution and environmental damage.
Furthermore, the Al-Falah Cement Factory intends to asphalt a three-kilometer stretch of road that connects the factory to the Kabul-Mazar public highway. This measure is aimed at ensuring a safe environment for the factory and facilitating timely transportation.
 

The Al-Falah Cement Production Factory is scheduled to be completed within two years. This timeframe includes exploratory efforts, extraction processes, machinery installation, and the construction of essential facilities for the factory. Cement production will commence after these initial stages. This endeavor is expected to create both direct and indirect job and employment opportunities for the people of Afghanistan.
 

The factory also includes essential infrastructure facilities such as a well-equipped health clinic, residential buildings for employees, and a mosque with a capacity to accommodate 400 prayers simultaneously.
Due to its strategic location for cement production amidst rich mines, the Al-Falah Cement Production Factory holds a significant position. It serves as a vital corridor in the cement production and consumption market, meeting the demands of central provinces and neighboring regions.(20241205)
