Background

In 2009, the Ministry of Mines (MoM), Afghanistan, granted concession to Afghan Investment Company (AIC) to operate and improve the two plants, Ghori I and Ghori II, based on a detailed implementation plan. The scope involved renovation of two kilns at the Ghori I plant, completion of Ghori II plant, construction of a new dry process Ghori III plant and a new coal-fired 25 MW power plant. This, however did not progress as no investor came forward for the same.

In 2013, MoM announced an international tender for the greenfield development project, Ghori III cement plant. However, the process was postponed indefinitely in 2014 on the eve of the presidential elections.
