Bilateral trade between India and Pakistan has taken a significant step forward with at least five Pakistani companies approved by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) starting to export cement to India while five more manufacturers have applied for certification.
'A total of 11 cement companies have been cleared by the BIS and four more have applied to get approval for export,' Shahzad Ahmed, secretary of All Pakistan Cement Manufacturers Association (APCMA), told IANS.
The idea of cement export from Pakistan surfaced during a meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Pakistan's former prime minister Shaukat Aziz in 2005.
Pakistani exporters were encouraged by the Indian's government steps to abolish countervailing duty and additional customs duty, making imports viable.

Green Scorpions target cement manufacturers
South Africa's environmental management inspector unit, the Green Scorpions, has started the first of a series of compliance inspections at various cement manufacturing facilities across the country, the government said on Tuesday.
The unit started its blitz, which signaled the start of the ‘Clean Cement' campaign, with an inspection at the Lafarge cement plant, in the North West province on Monday. Over the coming week, PPC facilities in Limpopo, Gauteng, Eastern Cape and the Western Cape would also be inspected.
The Green scorpions would monitor compliance with all environmental legislations, authorisations and permits applicable to each site.
The campaign follows the multi-year national environmental compliance campaign in the iron and steel and ferroalloy industry, known as Operation Ferro.
"The cement industry has been prioritised in this new environmental compliance campaign because of the growing demand for its products. An increase in construction and development projects in the country and rapid expansions in the cement sector means that the industry may contribute significantly to pollution if not mitigated and managed properly," said Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism deputy DG for environmental quality and protection Joanne Yawitch.

US Concrete cuts 2Q profit outlook
U.S. Concrete Inc., which makes ready-mixed concrete and other building supplies, on Tuesday cut its second quarter profit guidance, citing a jump in raw material costs and a tough sales environment.
The company said it now expects to post a profit from continuing operations of about 8 cents or 9 cents per share, down from its previous projection of 10 cents to 16 cents per share.
Analysts polled by Thomson Financial expect a profit of 14 cents per share for the quarter.
The company said ready-mixed concrete sales volumes began to fall below expectations beginning in May, resulting in an about nine percent volume shortfall and lower profitability.
The average ready-mixed concrete selling price rose 2.6 percent, but the raw materials spread fell as a result of higher aggregate and diesel fuel costs, the company said.
U.S. Concrete added that it expects quarterly drops in demand for the rest of the year.
In premarket trading Tuesday, shares of U.S. Concrete fell 21 cents, or 3.8 percent, to $5.37.
