Khan Steel Mill’s 2nd phase to be built in Kabul with $20m investment

The foundation stone for the construction of Khan Steel Mill’s 2nd Phase was laid during a ceremony in Kabul’s Industrial Parks on Tuesday.
The owner of the company said the construction work of the second phase of Khan Steel Mill would be completed over a period of three months.
He said the new facility would help to increase the production of steel besides providing job opportunities for at least one thousand more people.
The second phase of Khan Steel Mill would also start production of reinforcement steel bars and iron beams.
The first phase of Khan Steel Mill was inaugurated by President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani earlier this year.
The owner of Khan Steel Mill Khan Mohammad Wardak had earlier said the factory would produce enough iron to respond up to 30 percent of the construction needs of the country.
