Mian Aslam Iqbal, Punjab’s Minister of Industry, Commerce and Trade, presided over a review meeting to assess the status of NOCs issued for the construction of new cement plants. The issues causing the delays in the development of new cement companies were highlighted at the meeting. Due to environmental and other factors, only a few manufacturers have begun working on NOCs, according to the ministry.
Furthermore, it was claimed that the government has ordered cement manufacturers to offer a timeframe for the project’s implementation within a week. NOCs were issued on a fast-track basis by the government in order to create jobs, encourage the construction industry, and boost investment.
