Construction of the 2.5 million-tonne-a-year (t/y) plant is scheduled to start during the second quarter of the year and is expected to take about 26 months for completion.
The Bazian project will take OCI's cement production capacity in the region to about 4.8 million t/y by 2007.
In December, an OCI/FRG consortium was awarded a 12-year lease to rehabilitate the Tasluja cement plant which is located near the city of Sulaimaniyah.
