Introduction

 Cement industry, in any country, plays a major role in the growth of the
nation.

 India is the second largest producer of cement after China.

 Total production capacity is of 151.2 million tonnes (MT).

 Due to boost in various infrastructure projects, housing facilities and road


networks, the cement industry in India is currently growing at an enviable
pace.

 Cement production in India would rise to 236.16 MT in FY11 and is


expected to rise to 262.61 MT in FY12.
Industry Background

 First unit was setup in Kolkata in 1889.


 But the industry started getting the organized shape in the early
1900s.
 India Cement Company Ltd. was established in 1914 with production
capacity of around 10,000 tonnes.
 World War I gave a major impetus for the industry in India.
 Price and distribution control system in the year 1956 was established
to ensure fair price model for consumers as well as manufacturers.
 Later a three tier pricing system was introduced in the industry for
cement produced in high, medium and low cost plants
Industry Background (Contd.)

 Earlier this industry was under full control of Government of India.


 Deregulated after the economic reforms
 But government interference, especially in the pricing, is still evident
in India.
 India falls in the list of lowest per capita consumption of cement with
125 kg.
 But a fast developing country like India, potential for this sector is
phenomenal.
 Around 20 companies dominate 70% production of cement in India.

SWOT Analysis of the sector.
SWOT Analysis of the sector.

Strengths
 Second largest in the world in terms of capacity: In India there are
approximately 124 large and 300 mini plants with installed capacity of 200
million tonnes
 Low cost of production: due to the easy availability of raw materials and
cheap labor.
Weakness
 Effect of global recession on real estate: The real estate prices are
stabilizing and facing steady slowdown especially in metros. There are
approximately one hundred thousand completed flats without occupancy in
Bangalore. There has been drastic reduction in property prices due to reduced
demand and increased supply.
SWOT Analysis of the sector.

 Demand-Supply gap, overcapacity: The capacity additions distort the demand-


supply equilibrium in the industry thereby affecting profitability.
 Increasing cost of production due to increase in coal prices.
 High Interest rates on housing: The re-pricing of the interest rates in the last
four years from 7% to 12% has resulted in the slowdown in residential property
market.
Opportunities
 Strong growth of economy in the long run: Indian economy has been one of
the stars of global economics in the recent years, growing 9.2% in 2007 and
9.6% in 2006. However, India is facing tough economic times in 2008.
 Increase in infrastructure projects: Infrastructure accounts for 35% of cement
consumption in India. And with increase in government focus on infrastructure
spending, such as roads, highways and airports, the cement demand is likely to
grow in future.
SWOT Analysis of the sector.

 Growing middle class: There has been increase in the purchasing power of
emerging middle-class with rise in salaries and wages, which results in rising
demand for better quality of life that further necessitates infrastructure
development and hence increases the demand for cement.

 Technological changes: The Cement industry has made tremendous strides in


technological up gradation and assimilation of latest technology. At present
ninety three per cent of the total capacity in the industry is based on modern and
environment-friendly dry process technology and only seven per cent of the
capacity is based on old wet and semi-dry process technology.
SWOT Analysis of the sector.

Threats:
 Imports from Pakistan affecting markets in Northern India: In 2007,
130000 tonnes in 2008, 173000 Metric tones of cement was exported to India.
This was done to keep the price of cement under check.
 Excess overcapacity can hurt margins, as well as prices.
Conclusion

 Naturally, cement industry is the part and parcel of constructional


activities.

 With out this industry’s share, the economic growth of the country
cannot be too good, because it is the second largest industry after iron
and steel. The Indian

 Cement industry has an increased capacity of over five times in the last
two decades, there by supporting a three-fold growth in per capita
consumption, with the satisfactory available capacity which is more
than the demand.
