DEPRESSED CEMENT PRICES EAT AWAY
PRODUCTON GAINS
After a much published hue and cry over the up trend in the fortunes of the
cement industry, latest reports filtering in suggest that even though the situation
is better than the previous year, it will take some more time to pop the
champagne as cement prices continue to remain depressed.
According to the latest data released by the Cement Manufactures Association
(CMA), the total cumulative production between April ecember !""" has
increased by !#.$ per cent %#.&! million tonnes (mt) from '#.&% mt during the
same period last year. owever, the dispatches have not kept pace with the
growth as seem from the rise of only !%. per cent from %#.% mt for the first
nine months of the current fiscal to '#. mt during the same period in the
previous year.
owever, cement prices remain subdued with average prices being the same as
that * years ago, with some places in eastern +ndia seeing prices being the
same as that almost # years ago, says -arthasarathy, ecretary general, CMA.
/his is also seen from the fact that one of the largest players in the industry
ACC ltd. turned up losses for the first nine months of the current fiscal even
though production went up.
owever, the good news is that with an installed capacity of !!0.# mt as on
ecember !""", the industry has thus managed to notch up a capacity utilisation
Page #o. 5
8/10/2019 Comperative Study of J.K.white Cement
31/119
Comprehensive Study of White Cement Among Retailers in Delhi
of "!.0" per cent for the first nine months of the current fiscal as compared to
1ust #0.!' per cent for the period fast year.
/he is striking improvement over the near #' per cent capacity utilisation that
the industry had for si2 straight years in running with the year !""% "# even
witnessing capacity utilisation levels as low as #$.# per cent.
/he downtrend in prices can be traced to the economic depression and also the
capacity e2pansion done by the industry, which led to supply outstripping
demand since the past few years. +n fact while the industry saw an average
growth of &.' per cent between !""! "$ and !""#3"&, capacities rose from %!
mtpa to the !!0.'! mtpa during the same period. 4n the other hand, dispatches
grew at a low rate of #.$ per cent during the period, which resulted in stagnation
in poor capacity utilisation.
+n fact, domestic consumption saw a rise of 1ust %.# per cent from !""! "$ to
!""# "& as a result of the slow demand, even as companies tried to make up
for this dismal performance by increasing e2ports which grew by almost *0 per
cent during the same period.
/he ma1or factor that could be traced directly responsible for the slow growth
was the regional imbalances present in the industry. 5hile south and 6orth +ndia
account for over three fourth of the total capacity, the latter leads in terms of
consumption with a share of over % per cent. /his is followed by outh +ndia
with $& per cent. 5estern +ndia with $ per cent and 7ast +ndia with ! per cent.

5hile the year !""& "" saw a growth of ! per cent in terms of production in
6orthern +ndia, the south and west saw a growth of only seven and five per cent
respectively. 4n the other hand, the eastern region saw production levels go
down by as much as eight per cent.
5hile nearness to the raw material sources determines profitability, the nearness
to the market and also to the available rail road facility determines transport
cost which in many cases becomes one of the ma1or cost factors.
+n fact, due to this anamoly, inter regional movement of cement at a low cost
determines profitability of the company. /his movement by the companies to the
markets has in turn led to the emergence of two corridors, namely the north east
corridor and the south west corridor.
5hile post !""* saw a huge surge in capacities in 6orthern +ndia, including
states of 8u1arat, Maharashtra with plants of 9: Cement, -rism Cement, 9 ;
/ Cement and 8u1arat Ambu1 being set up, the outhern region remained
neglected due to the absence of large deposits of limestone. /his is turn led to
prices remaining high over there while in 6orth and 5estern +ndia, prices
remaining high over there while in 6orth and 5estern +ndia, prices actually
dropped.
/his is turn attracted fresh capacity in outhern +ndia after !""% !""#, which
in turn led to down trend in prices in the entire country. 5ith cement industries

generated. owever, with be recement increase in diesel prices, manufactures
have been hit further.
?-resently there is too much capacity chasing too little demand. owever, the
thrust of the government towards housing, infrastructure, roadways is going to
have a good effect on the industry once the process starts rolling,@ he said.
eeping these developments in mind and the streamlining done by the industry
in this sector, a growth of " !*0 per cent is possible for this industry, summed
up Mr. -arthasarthy.
