The Zambezi Portland Cement Factory has recently shattered all records in terms of cement production in Africa. As per confirmed estimates, it has been declared that the factory has produced 4, 73, 985 tonnes of cement in the previous year 2014. The output is approximately 30% in excess of its estimated output.

The installed capacity of ZPC is capable of producing 1000 tonnes of cement everyday which accumulates to 3, 60, 000 tonnes of cement on an annual basis. However, with an increased demand for cement, the unit went on to produce an additional 1, 00, 000 tonnes. The additional cement was required for facilitating the Ndola housing project where a total of 71 houses is being built by the Mahtani Group of Companies. Additionally, this performance report has also motivated the owner, Dr. Rajan Mahtani to invest further in Masaiti by opening a new lime plant which will offer employment opportunities to the locals within the next 2 years.

An additional advantage that the people Ndola would be enjoying is that there would be a concrete block making facility installed near the ZPC with the potential of producing 8000 blocks per day. This has made it obvious that Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani is not only determined to execute development plans in Zambia only, but also in other parts of Africa as well.
