Macro-economic Factors

India’s economic growth fell from 6.5% in fiscal 2018-19 to 4.0% in fiscal 2019-20, reflecting an 11-year low. Due to the impact of COVID-19, the Gross Domestic Product (‘GDP’) is expected to contract by 7.7% in fiscal 2020-21, as per the first advance estimates released by the National Statistical Office. While the full impact of the COVID-19 lockdown was felt in the April-June quarter, the worst may have been avoided with a faster than expected recovery of the manufacturing sector in the July-September quarter, and a revival of consumer demand sentiment during the festive season. The outlook for fiscal 2021-22 is firmly positive with an estimated GDP growth of ~11%. The Union Budget 2021 focuses on continued spending to stimulate growth as the economy tries to recover from the impact of COVID-19. The outlay for capital expenditure for Financial Year 2021-22 has been increased by 26% YoY with a specific emphasis on infrastructure which, in turn, will provide a boost to the employment numbers. While this would stretch the fiscal consolidation path in the near to medium term, the fiscal deficit is budgeted to improve to 6.8% of GDP in 2021-22.

Key Takeaways from the MD&A Cement demand fell by an estimated 10-12% YoY in 2020 owing to the COVID-

19 outbreak. Lockdown-led demand disruption was the highest in the second quarter of 2020 on the back of suspension of production, stalled construction activities and mass exodus of labour. However, starting early June, pent-up and pre-monsoon construction requirement cushioned demand de-growth to a large extent.

Rural demand continues to be the silver lining for cement consumption while that from the infrastructure sector was in a slower lane. Infrastructure demand witnessed gradual pickup from September onwards on the back of improving government spending, coupled with gradual normalisation in labour availability.

The outlook for the cement sector in 2021 looks robust, with growth estimated at more than 10% YoY over that in 2020. The country’s demand revival is likely to be led by the North, East and Central regions. The primary drivers of growth will be infrastructure and affordable housing. Highways and roads, metro rail projects and dedicated freight corridors are expected to see increased levels of activity with sharply higher budgetary allocations in the next year.
