हेटौंडा सिमेन्ट उद्योग मर्मतपछि पुसबाट पुन: उत्पादन सुरू गर्ने तयारीमाHetauda Cement Industry to Resume Production in January After Prolonged Downtime

सरकारी स्वामित्वको हेटौंडा सिमेन्ट उद्योगले मर्मत र आर्थिक अभावका कारण भएको लामो अवरोधपछि आगामी पुस महिनाको पहिलो साताबाट सिमेन्ट उत्पादन पुन: सुरू गर्ने तयारी गरेको छ।

प्रारम्भमा उद्योग व्यवस्थापनले मङ्सिरमै उत्पादन सुरू गर्ने योजना बनाएको भए पनि मुख्य उपकरणहरूको मर्मत कार्य ढिलो भएपछि समय सीमा सारिएको हो। उद्योग व्यवस्थापन समितिका अध्यक्ष नरेन्द्र भण्डारीले भने, "तिहारसम्म मर्मत कार्य सकिने अपेक्षा गरेका थियौं, तर विभिन्न कारणले ढिलाइ भयो। हाल मर्मत तीव्र गतिमा भइरहेको छ, र हामी चाँडै उत्पादन सुरू गर्ने तयारीमा छौं।"

मर्मत कार्यमा भारतबाट दक्ष कामदार ल्याउनु परेकाले समय लाग्नु ठूलो चुनौती रह्यो। यद्यपि, अध्यक्ष भण्डारीले उपकरणहरूको मर्मत अन्तिम चरणमा रहेको र तयारी तीव्र रूपमा भइरहेको बताएका छन्। कच्चा पदार्थको पर्याप्त मौज्दात भएको र कोइला खरिद प्रक्रिया अघि बढिसकेकोले उत्पादनमा कुनै अवरोध नहुने उनको दाबी छ।

आर्थिक समस्याका कारण यस वर्षको भदौमा दुई महिना बन्द भएको उद्योगले यसअघि केही समय उत्पादन गर्दै ६५,००० बोरा सिमेन्ट उत्पादन गरेको थियो। तर, नियमित उत्पादन नहुनुले यो उद्योगको आर्थिक र सञ्चालन क्षमतामा चुनौती देखिएको छ।

२०३३ सालमा स्थापना भई २०४३ सालदेखि सिमेन्ट उत्पादन सुरू गरेको यस उद्योगले नेपालको निर्माण क्षेत्रमा महत्त्वपूर्ण योगदान पुर्‍याउँदै आएको छ।

यस अवरोधले नेपालको सरकारी स्वामित्वका उद्योगहरूले सामना गरिरहेको प्रणालीगत समस्यालाई उजागर गरेको छ। विदेशी दक्ष जनशक्तिमा निर्भरता र आर्थिक अस्थिरताले दीर्घकालीन उत्पादन क्षमतामा असर गरेको देखिन्छ।

हेटौंडा सिमेन्ट उद्योगले यी चुनौतीहरू पार गर्दै उत्पादन पुन: सुरू गरेमा यो नेपालको निर्माण क्षेत्रका लागि राहतको कुरा हुनेछ। साथै, यसले अन्य सरकारी उद्योगहरूको लागि उदाहरण प्रस्तुत गर्न सक्नेछ।

Hetauda Cement Industry, a government-owned enterprise, has announced plans to resume cement production in the first week of January. This comes after prolonged downtime due to equipment maintenance and financial constraints, which halted production since mid-October.

Initially, the management had targeted November for the production restart. However, delays in repairing critical machinery, including the clinker machine, pushed the timeline further. Narendra Bhandari, Chairman of the Industry Management Committee, stated, “We had anticipated completing the repairs by Tihar, but unforeseen delays have extended the maintenance schedule. The repair work is progressing rapidly, and we expect to resume production soon.”

One of the significant challenges has been sourcing skilled labor from India for the repair work, which contributed to the delays. Despite these hurdles, the management has assured that preparations for production are in the final stages. Notably, the availability of raw materials such as coal is not a concern, with the industry holding a stockpile of 400 metric tons and additional procurement processes underway.

The industry faced a two-month shutdown earlier this year due to financial constraints but managed to produce 65,000 bags of cement after briefly resuming operations in mid-September. This highlights the enterprise's operational vulnerabilities, as it struggles to maintain a consistent production cycle despite being one of Nepal's oldest cement manufacturers, established in 1976 and operational since 1986.

The delays in resuming production underscore systemic challenges faced by Nepal's state-owned industries, such as reliance on foreign expertise for maintenance and financial instability. The ability to address these issues is critical for the sustainability of such enterprises. Additionally, the upcoming resumption of operations is a significant development for Nepal’s construction sector, which heavily depends on local cement manufacturers for affordable supply.

The success of Hetauda Cement Industry in overcoming these operational and financial challenges will serve as a benchmark for other state-run industries grappling with similar issues.
