Cherat Cement Company Limited is listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited and holds ISO 9001 and 14001 certifications. The company has expanded its manufacturing capabilities by installing its third cement line at the production site, boosting its annual installed capacity to over 4.5 million tons of cement.

Cherat Cement Company Limited has taken an additional step towards promoting the welfare of the local community by setting up a Welfare Medical Dispensary in Nowshera. This dispensary operates as a free aid clinic, providing free basic medical care to patients, with particular emphasis on supporting the area’s women.
The clinic aims to serve the local population who may have limited access to basic healthcare, thus contributing to the community’s well-being. The company strongly believes providing access to quality education would greatly benefit Pakistan.
To make a positive impact in the communities where it operates, the company has partnered with The Citizens Foundation to establish a school in Shaidu village. This school offers a comprehensive educational program for both girls and boys.
