en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Suryatara Cement Industry in Nepal has recently resumed the construction of its plant, which was previously stalled due to a lack of utilities. The provincial government has implemented special infrastructure support in its 2025/26 fiscal year policy. Currently, the final construction phase is underway for a 10-kilometer access road connecting Lakhrapata to the Madan Bhandari Highway, with an estimated cost of 1.2 billion Nepalese Rupees (approximately 8 million USD).

The provincial government has allocated 5 million Nepalese Rupees to shorten the construction period of this road project. Once operational, this road will connect the production base to the external transportation network, solving the problem of transporting raw materials and large equipment. The Nepal Investment Board previously approved an investment of 14.275 billion Nepalese Rupees for this project, and the current total investment target is set at 15 billion Nepalese Rupees.

With the successive implementation of road, water supply, and power supply plans, Suryatara Cement has initiated a limestone mining plan in Barahathar. Project Chairman Mukunda Prasad Timilsina stated that the breakthrough in infrastructure bottlenecks allows the project to proceed with mining work, and construction will gradually follow. Considering the high capital requirements of the cement industry, the company may consider introducing additional foreign investment.

The project is currently in the final stage of infrastructure completion. Once the access road is finished, the construction site will be ready for subsequent equipment installation, and the limestone mining plan will commence accordingly.
