Cement prices in Pakistan have seen a decline, with top brands such as Bestway Cement, Maple Leaf Cement, and DG Khan Cement now priced at Rs1,390 per bag. Other brands are offering cement at Rs1,400 per bag. This price reduction comes as a relief for individuals planning construction projects, attributed to changes in market demand and improved conditions within the construction sector, including better availability of steel.
Additionally, buyers can benefit from a 30% discount on cement purchases by registering through the Ehsaas Program’s 8171 portal. This initiative aims to provide affordable construction materials for the public, making it easier for those in need to access essential products.
