The new grid station will be delivered on a turnkey basis at the existing PCL production facility in Nooriabad Industrial Area, District Jamshoro, Sindh, which currently has a production capacity of 0.9 million tpy of cement, and will support the organisation in their efforts to operate a new manufacturing line.
