Production halted at Hetauda Cement Factory

MAKAWANPUR: Cement production at the state-owned Hetauda Cement Factory has been obstructed due to a machine breakdown. The breakdown of equipment in the coal mill has led to the halt of cement production, it is said.

The factory will resume cement production after the machine is repaired within three to four days, said the factory's Deputy General Manager Nabin Kumar Karna.

Now, the cement factory has stocked enough amounts of coals and limestone, Karna said. The industry produces 10,000 sacks of cement on a daily basis.

Earlier, the factory had remained closed for around two months due to the lack of coals, said Shatru Aryal, officer of the factory's administration division.
