Ghorahi Cement posts nearly Rs 1 billion in first-quarter revenue, seeks fresh credit rating


Kathmandu: Ghorahi Cement Industry reported revenue of 912 million Nepali rupees in the first quarter of the current fiscal year, signalling steady operations despite past financial pressures.

The company generated Rs 5.13 billion in revenue in the previous fiscal year, compared with Rs 4.48 billion in 2024, Rs 4.79 billion in 2023, and Rs 5.04 billion in 2022. While revenue showed signs of recovery last year, the company recorded net losses in both the last fiscal year and in 2024.

Founded in 2007 and converted into a public company in 2021, Ghorahi Cement is backed by joint investments from the Triveni and Vishal business groups. The company is chaired by Aditya Sanghai, with Birendra Kumar Sanghai and Govinda Lal Sanghai each holding 10 percent ownership stakes. Its manufacturing plant in Dang produces clinker as well as OPC and PPC cement, serving Nepal’s construction market.

To support its financial structure, the company has obtained credit ratings totaling Rs 10.70 billion for both long-term and short-term borrowing. This includes Rs 7.28 billion in long-term facilities and Rs 3.41 billion in short-term loans, reflecting its continued reliance on external financing to manage operations and expansion.
