Over the two-day visit, the delegation reviewed on-ground construction and operational readiness. The cement plant, currently under development, is expected to become a critical contributor to the Republic of Congo’s growth by fostering local employment and supporting infrastructure development.

Once operational, the cement plant will facilitate local job creation and bolster construction capabilities, enhancing the nation’s self-reliance in building materials.

India’s Support Through Concessional Funding

The project is being executed under a concessional Line of Credit extended by the Government of India, demonstrating bilateral cooperation and India’s commitment to infrastructure support in Africa. The initiative aligns with India’s broader strategy of promoting sustainable development in partner countries through concessional financing tools.
