The production line has a total investment of VND10.8trn (US$475.25m) and a clinker capacity of 12,500tpd, the Dau Tu newspaper reported.

After inaugurating the second production line, the company plans to invest in a third one with a cement capacity of 4.5Mta, raising the plant’s output to 10Mta.

At present, ThaiGroup is also developing a cement plant with a total investment of VND12trn and a capacity of 4.5Mta in the southern province of Binh Phuoc.
