Doha : Qatari Minister of Industry and Energy Abdullah Al-Attiah is due to lay the corner stone of a US$ 5.6 billion aluminum plant in the industrial zone of Msayeed south of the capital later on Monday.
Hassan Ali Al-Rashed, the deputy chief executive of the project, told a news conference that construction of the USD 5.6 million complex would begin later this month, and that the construction would last for three years.
The plant is projected to produce, in the first phase, 600,000 tons per year, and up to 1.2 million tons eventually.
The project will secure 700 jobs initially and 2,000 in the coming years.
