LNP – Cement prices up

The price of a 50kg cement bag has been increased to Rs.1,850.

The price increase was due to the current dollar crunch and fuel price increase, the dealers said.

Before the price increase, a 50 kg cement bag was sold at Rs.1,350.

Though the prices have gone up, there is an acute shortage for cement in the market.
