Started since a couple of decades back, cement industry in Nepal is about to make the country self-sufficient. With about 15 companies in this industry till date, it is often said that the
price of OPC and PPC cement in Nepal is quite expensive in comparison to other South Asian countries, explaining which, most of the directors of these companies opine that the expensive power and import of clinker are the main reasons. The Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is one of the most common cement used worldwide that hardens when mixed with water and becomes water resistant. On the other hand, the Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) is a variation of OPC with high durability and decreases the OPC consumption. Below is the table with
