Introduction
India is one of the emerging markets in the global economy. As a result there is a positive
growth rate in the infrastructure and housing markets. Regular government spending on the
rural sector and infrastructure spend accomplished by rise in the number of infrastructure
projects implemented by the private sector will also drive forward the growth in domestic
cement demand. According to forecast it is expected that due to this positive vibe in the
market India’s cement production will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 12% during
2012-14 to reach 303 million metric ton. Cement Manufacturing Association is targeting to
achieve 550 Million metric ton capacities by the year 2020. It can be also assumed that with
relaxing of FDI norms a number of foreign players can also enter the industry thereby
increasing the competitiveness and quality of the product delivered. Also with the increase of
number of production units the advantages of industrialization will also enrich our
economical situation.
India is the 2nd
largest producer of cement in world after China. There are almost 137 large
and 365 mini cement plants. Leading players in the industry include ACC limited, UltraTech
Cement Limited, Ambuja Cements Limited, JK Cement Limited, etc. Cement acts as an
adhesive that holds concrete together and is hence vital for meeting the economy’s needs of
housing & accommodation and necessary infrastructure for roads, bridges, schools, hospitals,
offices and other utilities.
The demand for cement depends on the rate of growth and level of development of the
economy. Considering the present scenario of raw materials needed for construction it is well
understood that there is no substitute for cement hence the demand for cement is price
inelastic.
In this report we will look at the major players in the Indian market today. Then we will do a
comparative analysis between them. And finally we will decipher the major observation on
the major players and the industry as a whole.
Let us now look at the major players in India.

Major Players
ACC Limited:
History:
ACC Limited was formed in the 1936 when ten existing
companies came together to merge to form a single entity.
Hence the name Associated Cement Companies Limited. These companies belong to four
prominent business groups Tatas, Khataus, Killick Nixon and F E Dinshaw groups. F E
Dinshaw is recognized as the founder of ACC. This merger was the first of its kind even
before the term mergers and acquisitions were coined.
The Tata group was with the group till 1999. By the end of 2000 the Tata group sold all 14.45
per cent of its shareholding in ACC to subsidiary companies of Gujarat Ambuja Cements Ltd
(later called Ambuja Cement Ltd), who then became the largest single shareholder in ACC.
In a significant turn of events in 2005 a new association of Holcim group of Switzerland and
ACC was formed with the help of Ambuja Cements India Limited (ACIL) after which
shareholdings of ACIL increased to 34.69 percent.
This is an important event in the history of ACC as Holcim was a world leader in cement
production with worldwide operations in 70 countries.

One of the most important players in Indian Cement
Industry is UltraTech Cement Limited. It belongs to the

plant at Jawad in Madhya Pradesh. In 2001 with the positive vibe of industrialization and
growth of economy the management decide to increase its reach. In the process Grasim
acquired a stake in L&T Cement. The stake was further increased to majority stake in 2003
thereby giving them a pan-India presence and increased market share. The demerger of L&T
business was completed in 2004 and Grasim acquired a controlling stake in L&T cement Ltd
and the name was changed to UltraTech Cement. In 2010 Samrudhhi Cement Ltd was
amalgamated with UltraTech Cement in July 2010. In September 2010, UltraTech Cement
acquired management control of ETA Star Cement Company, along with its operations in the
UAE, Bahrain and Bangladesh, thereby putting UltraTech on the global map. It is now the
10th
largest producer of grey cement in the world.

Cement Industry: Overview
 CMA is targeting to achieve 550 million tonnes capacity by 2020. The data for
Capacity and Production for the fiscal period of 2009 to 2011 are as follows:
 The data for Cement production and despatch (as % of total capacity) for the
previous two Fiscal Year is as follows:
Fiscal Year Capacity in MnT Production in MnT
2009 230.6 187.6
2010 266.2 201
2011 285.8 211
Year Cement Production(%) Cement Despatched(%)
2011-2012 98.81 97.84
2010-2011 96.75 96
21
 Being a bulk item transporting cement over long distances can prove to be
uneconomical as it attracts very high amount of freight. Thus it has been segmented
regionally i.e. Northern, Central, Western, Southern and Eastern. As it is a freight
intensive industry, the segment is completely domestic driven and exports account for
very negligible percentage of the total cement off take.
 India ranks 2nd
in the world cement producing countries.
 Cement Industry now meets with the pollution standards and is in fact one major
consumer of fly ash from Thermal Power Plants and slag from Steel Industry.
 The sector operates on high level of fixed cost and therefore volume growth is
necessary for good growth margins. It is a highly Capital-Intensive Sector.
 Access to raw materials and consuming markets is very necessary as it is a very bulky
commodity.
 The sector is energy intensive in nature as Power plays an important role in the cost of
the product. Hence many companies resort to captive power plant for energy supplies.
22
 Michael Porter’s Five Forces analysis of the Cement Sector:
 BCG Matrix of the Companies studied in this article:
 It is expected that in 2012-13 subdued demand along with excess capacities would
lead to a fall in capacity utilisation.
23
 Capacity utilization (%) for the period of 5 years from 2008-12 is as below:
 The demand is expected to grow by 8% YOY in 2012-13. This is likely to be
spearheaded by infrastructure and household projects in urban places from the west
and the east.
 The price of cement is expected to remain constant.
 News that would boost the cement market:
o Ministry of Roadways, Transport & Highways to roll out $120 billion project
to widen National Highways.
o DLF & Unitech plans a total of `7,000 crores investment in malls.
o Strong balance sheet of the Cement manufacturing companies to fund for
future growth.
o The penalty at three times the profits made via cartelisation by Competition
Commission of India is harsh, subjective in nature and may not materialise.
 Major Challenges:
o Economic slowdown and high taxation such as sales tax, VAT, royalty, etc.
o Price of domestic coal is on the rise as well importing coal for energy is
becoming costlier due to the weakening Rupee.
 Major relief actions by government:
o Overall taxation can be reduced by 20-25% and also by reducing the cross
subsidy burden on electricity, railway freight.
 Manufacturers need to maximize production of blended cement by using industrial
waste & by using efficient machines which lowers input cost.

  • 3. 2 Introduction India is one of the emerging markets in the global economy. As a result there is a positive growth rate in the infrastructure and housing markets. Regular government spending on the rural sector and infrastructure spend accomplished by rise in the number of infrastructure projects implemented by the private sector will also drive forward the growth in domestic cement demand. According to forecast it is expected that due to this positive vibe in the market India’s cement production will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 12% during 2012-14 to reach 303 million metric ton. Cement Manufacturing Association is targeting to achieve 550 Million metric ton capacities by the year 2020. It can be also assumed that with relaxing of FDI norms a number of foreign players can also enter the industry thereby increasing the competitiveness and quality of the product delivered. Also with the increase of number of production units the advantages of industrialization will also enrich our economical situation. India is the 2nd largest producer of cement in world after China. There are almost 137 large and 365 mini cement plants. Leading players in the industry include ACC limited, UltraTech Cement Limited, Ambuja Cements Limited, JK Cement Limited, etc. Cement acts as an adhesive that holds concrete together and is hence vital for meeting the economy’s needs of housing & accommodation and necessary infrastructure for roads, bridges, schools, hospitals, offices and other utilities. The demand for cement depends on the rate of growth and level of development of the economy. Considering the present scenario of raw materials needed for construction it is well understood that there is no substitute for cement hence the demand for cement is price inelastic. In this report we will look at the major players in the Indian market today. Then we will do a comparative analysis between them. And finally we will decipher the major observation on the major players and the industry as a whole. Let us now look at the major players in India.

  • 22. 21  Being a bulk item transporting cement over long distances can prove to be uneconomical as it attracts very high amount of freight. Thus it has been segmented regionally i.e. Northern, Central, Western, Southern and Eastern. As it is a freight intensive industry, the segment is completely domestic driven and exports account for very negligible percentage of the total cement off take.  India ranks 2nd in the world cement producing countries.  Cement Industry now meets with the pollution standards and is in fact one major consumer of fly ash from Thermal Power Plants and slag from Steel Industry.  The sector operates on high level of fixed cost and therefore volume growth is necessary for good growth margins. It is a highly Capital-Intensive Sector.  Access to raw materials and consuming markets is very necessary as it is a very bulky commodity.  The sector is energy intensive in nature as Power plays an important role in the cost of the product. Hence many companies resort to captive power plant for energy supplies.
  • 23. 22  Michael Porter’s Five Forces analysis of the Cement Sector:  BCG Matrix of the Companies studied in this article:  It is expected that in 2012-13 subdued demand along with excess capacities would lead to a fall in capacity utilisation.
  • 24. 23  Capacity utilization (%) for the period of 5 years from 2008-12 is as below:  The demand is expected to grow by 8% YOY in 2012-13. This is likely to be spearheaded by infrastructure and household projects in urban places from the west and the east.  The price of cement is expected to remain constant.  News that would boost the cement market: o Ministry of Roadways, Transport & Highways to roll out $120 billion project to widen National Highways. o DLF & Unitech plans a total of `7,000 crores investment in malls. o Strong balance sheet of the Cement manufacturing companies to fund for future growth. o The penalty at three times the profits made via cartelisation by Competition Commission of India is harsh, subjective in nature and may not materialise.  Major Challenges: o Economic slowdown and high taxation such as sales tax, VAT, royalty, etc. o Price of domestic coal is on the rise as well importing coal for energy is becoming costlier due to the weakening Rupee.  Major relief actions by government: o Overall taxation can be reduced by 20-25% and also by reducing the cross subsidy burden on electricity, railway freight.  Manufacturers need to maximize production of blended cement by using industrial waste & by using efficient machines which lowers input cost.
