Mir cement plant in Dhaka, Bangladesh - 20 Feb 2023
A worker walks along the territory of the Mir cement plant. Mir Cement Ltd is going to raise its production capacity to 5,000 tonnes a day by 2024, said SM Rahmatullah, executive director of Mir Cement. The company was established in 2003 with a 600-tonnes a day capacity and expanded its capacity to 2,400 tonnes a day by 2018. As the cement industry depends fully on imports for raw materials, problems in opening letters of credit in the past few months also affected us said SM Rahmatullah. In order to prevent dust from going out in the environment, we have installed dust guards and also to prevent carbon emission, we avoided using coal-based heating systems.
