Cement prices in Pakistan have seen a slight decline due to reduced demand and the rising costs of construction following significant increases in taxes.
Recently, prices of cement dropped after the imposition of new taxes and higher federal excise duties. The construction, mining, and transportation sectors have been hit by low sales, contributing to the price adjustment. As a result, the cost of a 50 kg cement bag has decreased by Rs. 20, bringing the new price to approximately Rs. 1,500.
Here is a breakdown of current cement prices in Pakistan:
