Nowshera: Cherat Cement Company Limited has announced the commissioning of a 2.935 megawatt (MW) solar power plant at its factory site in Nowshera, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This development, which was completed on June 11, 2025, is part of a larger project targeting approximately 9 MW in total capacity.

The company had previously communicated about this initiative in a letter dated April 4, 2025. With the addition of this new solar power plant, Cherat Cement's total captive solar power generation capacity has now reached approximately 23 MW.
