en.Wedoany.com Reported - According to a report by Turkmenistan's official media on April 15, 2026, the Lebap Cement Plant (Lebap Cement Plant), located in Koytendag etrap, Lebap velayat, eastern Turkmenistan, saw a 9.4% year-on-year increase in cement output in the first quarter of 2026. The plant produces Portland cement and its sulfate-resistant variants, supplying both the domestic market and exporting large quantities overseas.

Commissioned in February 2013, the Lebap Cement Plant is a key building materials production base in Turkmenistan. In 2025, the plant produced over 1.53 million tons of cement; in the first two months of 2026, output reached 218,000 tons. To further expand capacity, the second phase of the plant is under construction, with a designed annual capacity of 1 million tons of cement. Once the second phase is operational, the total cement output in Lebap velayat is expected to rise to 1.86 million tons in 2026. Additionally, a factory with an annual capacity of 250,000 tons of dry-mix mortar and 20 million square meters of gypsum board is planned for the village of Dostluk in the same velayat.

Turkmenistan is a major cement producer and consumer in Central Asia. In recent years, the country has been advancing infrastructure construction, driving sustained demand for building materials like cement. As one of the country's leading cement producers, the Lebap Cement Plant's capacity expansion helps meet domestic construction needs and enhance export capabilities. The imminent commissioning of the second phase will further boost the plant's supply capacity in the regional cement market.
