Lucky Cement (LUCK), Pakistan’s leading cement producer, shared key developments at the Pakistan Cement Conference 2025, hosted by Topline Securities. Speaking at the event, CFO Atif Kaludi highlighted the group’s strategic direction and financial strength.

LUCK reported a consolidated profit of Rs63.1 billion for the first nine months of FY25, with major contributions from its cement operations, investment holdings, and energy ventures. The company is exploring large-scale investment opportunities across various sectors, emphasizing long-term value over short-term gains.

A notable focus is on energy sustainability. LUCK has invested Rs19 billion in renewable energy at its cement plants and plans to develop battery storage solutions. The company says recent gas price hikes for captive plants will have limited impact due to its shift toward renewables and cheaper alternatives like Furnace Oil.

The management also addressed sector-specific challenges, including rising coal costs, new tax policies, and expectations of 5–9% growth in cement demand for FY26, driven by public sector development spending.

LUCK continues to seek regulatory clarity on a new sales tax collection system and is optimistic about improvements in its power subsidiary, Lucky Electric. Lucky Electric plans to shift to Thar coal for better efficiency.
