SRINAGAR: Khyber Cement has successfully gone live with Project Nishat, a large-scale digital transformation initiative that transitions the company’s core business operations to SAP S/4HANA, marking a major milestone in its journey toward global operational excellence.
The enterprise-wide implementation represents a significant upgrade in Khyber Cement’s operational backbone, aligning the organisation with internationally recognised enterprise standards. By migrating to SAP S/4HANA, the company has enabled real-time visibility across business functions, improved system integration, and created a unified data environment designed to support long-term scalability and growth.
Project Nishat delivers a comprehensive overhaul of key business processes, replacing fragmented legacy systems with a cohesive, data-driven digital framework. The transformation is expected to enhance decision-making, operational efficiency, and organisational agility in an increasingly competitive market.
The project was executed in close collaboration with Grant Thornton, with technical support from SAP Labs, bringing together global consulting expertise and best-in-class enterprise technology. The partnership ensured that the SAP S/4HANA solution was tailored to meet the complex operational and regulatory requirements of Khyber Cement.
Highlighting the regional importance of the initiative, Umar Tramboo, Director Corporate and Strategy, Khyber Cement, said the successful go-live demonstrates that organisations in Jammu and Kashmir can deliver digital programs at par with global benchmarks. He noted that adopting a platform trusted by leading enterprises worldwide sets a new standard for the region and positions Khyber Cement as a future-ready market leader.
Manzoor Ahmad Mir, Head of Commercials, Legal & Regulatory Affairs, described Project Nishat as a direct outcome of the company’s commitment to achieving global operational standards. He said the implementation of SAP S/4HANA has unified business processes into a single, scalable platform that empowers teams with consistent, data-backed workflows.
From a financial and governance perspective, Purshotam Singh, Chief Accounts, Khyber Cement, said the new system has transitioned the organisation to a unified intelligence framework. He emphasised that real-time insights enabled by SAP S/4HANA will now drive strategic and operational decision-making across the company.
With Project Nishat now live, Khyber Cement will shift its focus toward continuous optimisation and value realisation. By leveraging the advanced capabilities of SAP S/4HANA, the company aims to strengthen resilience, improve efficiency, and remain fully aligned with global market expectations.
