Chaudhary Group Cement (CGC) has placed an order with Germany-based Loesche for a vertical roller mill at its cement plant in the Palpa region of central Nepal.

The order, which was placed through KHD, will see the installation of a 50tph Loesche LM 26.3 D coal mill, scheduled to enter operation by 2018.

The new CGC plant has a clinker capacity of 3900tpd. It will extract limestone from a nearby mine.
