4. 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 expected to rise 324 MT in FY15.

5. 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 1000 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

6. 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.

10. High Transportation Cost is affecting the competitiveness of the
cement industry. Freight accounts for 17% of the production cost.
Road is the preferred mode for transportation for distances less than
250km. However, industry is heavily dependant on roads for longer
distances too as the railway infrastructure is not adequate.
Cement industry is highly capital intensive industry and nearly 55-
60% of the inputs are controlled by the government.
There is regional imbalance in the distribution of cement industry.
Limestone availability in pockets has led to uneven capacity
additions.
Coal availability and quality is also affecting the production.

14. India would require overall cement capacity of around 480
million tonnes.
This would mean the industry will have to add another 150
million tonnes of capacity during the period.
According to the latest report from the working group on
the industry for the 12th five-year Plan (2012-17).

15. 1.Abounding in about 130 big and 300 small cement plants, India's
cement production capacity stands at 167.36 million tonnes. Currently,
the cement industry in India is positioned at number in the world.
2.With incorporating modern techniques in the production, the Indian
cement industry has not only been able to meet domestic demands but
also serving well to the international arena. Undoubtedly, the credit for
this can be attached to the superlative quality of the cement produced in
India, which in turn has helped in registering boom in exports.
3.During 2007-08, the export of cement from India touched the 2.16
million tonnes mark. However during 2008-09, the cement export from
India stood at 1.46 million tonnes.

41. It is evident that there is huge potential for the cost saving in
the cement industry. However this will require a structural
shift in the market place which might not be possible in the
short run
Players like Ambuja cement and L&T have been successful
in making the best out of their location advantages and
developed means of transport cement.
In the future as international players get stronger hold of the
market some of the best international practices might
emerges
It will be very difficult for the companies to completely
eliminate bagged cement sales. But even if a substantial
portion moves to bulk, it would in considerable cost saving
