Dandot Cement Company Limited has successfully finalized the financing arrangements for its Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) Plant, marking a significant step toward improving energy efficiency and reducing operating costs.
According to a material information disclosure submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange on August 13, 2026, the company has achieved financial close for the WHR project. The financing will be substantially supported through BankIslami for renewable energy.
The required Letters of Credit (LCs) have also been established for the supply, installation and commissioning of the Waste Heat Recovery Plant in favor of Sinoma Energy Conservation Limited.
The project is designed to utilize waste heat generated during the company’s manufacturing process to produce captive power. By recovering and converting otherwise wasted heat into electricity, Dandot Cement expects to improve the overall energy efficiency of its operations.
The company said the project is expected to reduce operating costs while also lowering greenhouse gas emissions and its overall carbon footprint. These benefits could become increasingly important for the cement manufacturer as energy costs and environmental considerations continue to influence the industry’s long-term competitiveness.
The WHR project is also expected to contribute positively to Dandot Cement’s long-term profitability and sustainable growth. The successful financial close and establishment of LCs represent important milestones toward the eventual supply, installation and commissioning of the plant.
The development highlights Dandot Cement’s efforts to adopt energy-efficient technologies and make greater use of renewable and recovered energy within its manufacturing operations.
The company disclosed the information in accordance with the requirements of the Pakistan Stock Exchange Rule Book and the applicable provisions of the Securities Act, 2015.
