Economy Analysis
2
The growth of infrastructure is directly related to the GDP (gross domestic product)
growth.
The realistic prediction for GDP growth is in the range of 7 to 7.5 per cent for the current
fiscal.
And going by that estimate, cement demand would rise by seven to 8 per cent, or may
touch 8.5 per cent. The production in FY15 was around 270 million tons (MT).
But with demand growth showing a sluggish trend during the first half of FY16, the pace
of recovery in cement industry is expected to be moderate at 3.8-4.0% during 2015-16
It is clearly understood from the graph that, the primary sector which mainly constitutes Agriculture is
declining. However, the growth of secondary sector has been very slow vis-a-vis the services clearly
indicating that there is a lot of scope for the growth of secondary sector in India.
Manufacturing holds a key position in the Indian economy, accounting for nearly 16 percent of the real
GDP in FY12 and employing about 12 percent of the countrys labor. Growth in the sector has been strong,
outpacing overall GDP growth since the past few years.
3
During a decadal shift in policy regulations, urban development and professional attitudes, the growth of
Indias leading cities and the evolution of some of our major commercial office spaces has emerged as the
backbone of Indias organized real estate landscape.
Indias housing landscape also witnessed vast transformations over the last 10 years, shifting from largely
independent low-rise plotted developments to high-rise apartment complexes.
Inflation expectations.
The official inflation rate dipped to 1.5% last month, the lowest in almost two decades.
Inflation displayed a mixed picture in FY17. While retail (CPI) inflation moderated during the course of the
year, from 5.4% in Apr16 to 3.8% in Mar17, aided by lower food prices, the wholesale price index (WPI)
inflation increased continuously during the year from 0.8% in Apr16 to end the year at 5.7% in March17
with the increase in fuel and manufactured good prices. Inflation (WPI and CPI) continued to be within
the RBIs target levels of 4% with a band of -/+ 2%.
Consumer prices in India went up 5.69 percent year-on-year in January of 2016, higher
than 5.61 percent in December of 2015 and accelerating for the sixth straight month.
It is the highest figure since August of 2014 and above market expectations of 5.4
percent.
Food inflation increased to 6.85 percent from 6.4 percent in December, also the highest
in seventeen months
Inflation Rate in India averaged 7.90 percent from 2012 until 2016, reaching an all time
high of 11.16 percent in November of 2013 and a record low of 3.69 percent in July of
2015
In the ongoing fiscal, there is an upside risk to the inflation due to a possible increase in global crude oil
prices and firming up of global metals prices.

Economic performance expectations (Growth expectations for India vis--vis world)
The Indian economy is expected to embark on higher economic growth trajectory in FY18 owing to
proactive measures taken by the government as well as favorable economic conditions expected to prevail
during the course of the year.

capacity in the country, with 365 small plants account for the rest. Of these large cement
plants, 77 are located in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu.
Industry Analysis
Introduction
India is the second largest producer of cement in the world. No wonder, India's cement industry is a vital
part of its economy, providing employment to more than a million people, directly or indirectly. Ever since
it was deregulated in 1982, the Indian cement industry has attracted huge investments, both from Indian
as well as foreign investors.
India has a lot of potential for development in the infrastructure and construction sector and the cement
sector is expected to largely benefit from it. Some of the recent major government initiatives such as
development of 98 smart cities are expected to provide a major boost to the sector.
Market Size
Cement prices in India recorded a 6.7 per cent month-on-month growth in April 2017, thereby indicating
the probability of growth in volume and profitability of cement companies in the quarter ending June
2017.
The housing sector is the biggest demand driver of cement, accounting for about 67 per cent of the total
consumption in India. The other major consumers of cement include infrastructure at 13 per cent,
commercial construction at 11 per cent and industrial construction at 9 per cent.
The cement capacity in India is estimated to be at 420 MT as of March 2017 with production growing at
5-6 per cent per year. The country's per capita consumption stands at around 225 kg.
The Indian cement industry is dominated by a few companies. The top 20 cement companies account for
almost 70 per cent of the total cement production of the country. A total of 188 large cement plants
together account for 97 per cent of the total installed capacity in the country, with 365 small plants
account for the rest. Of these large cement plants, 77 are located in the states of Andhra Pradesh,
Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu.
Permanence of Industry
The eastern states of India are likely to be the newer and virgin markets for cement companies and could
contribute to their bottom line in future. In the next 10 years, India could become the main exporter of
clinker and gray cement to the Middle East, Africa, and other developing nations of the world. Cement
plants near the ports, for instance the plants in Gujarat and Visakhapatnam, will have an added advantage
for exports and will logistically be well armed to face stiff competition from cement plants in the interior
of the country.
A large number of foreign players are also expected to enter the cement sector, owing to the profit
margins and steady demand. In future, domestic cement companies could go for global listings either
through the FCCB route or the GDR route.
6
With help from the government in terms of friendlier laws, lower taxation, and increased infrastructure
spending, the sector will grow and take Indias economy forward along with it.
Competition
Demand Drivers
Demand for cement is highly correlated with cyclical activities like construction and development.
Housing sector accounts for a significant 67 per cent of the total cement demand (USA: 22 per cent; China:
25 per cent; Brazil 56 per cent)
Real estate market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.2 per cent during 201115 to USD126 billion. It is
anticipated to reach USD180 billion by 2020
Capacity Additions
Total cement production capacity in India stood at 395 million in FY16.
The strong momentum in capacity addition is not surprising given the sharp growth in construction,
infrastructure and real estate in Indian economy. Hence, the 12th Five Year Plan is estimated to have an
additional capacity requirement of 139.7 million tons by FY17.The total FDI in cement and gypsum
industry reached USD3.11 billion, between April 2000-September 2016 Adani Cementation Ltd signed an
MoU with Gujarat government to set up a clinkering unit with an investment of US$ 840.20 million.
Companies like Ultratech Cement, Shree Cement and Vadraj Cement Ltd Signed MoUs with the Gujarat
government for setting up cement manufacturing plants in the state with investment of US$ 381.9 million
each.

Other Problems
d. Environmental Issues
There are a number of environmental issues related to the cement sector, such as control
of air pollutants (dust and gaseous emissions), reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG), the
8
control of fugitive dust, utilization of hazardous wastes as alternate fuels and the
conservation of natural resources.
The government of India (GoI) has allowed 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the cement sector.
Cement and gypsum products have attracted FDI of INR 133.70 billion during April 2000 to February 2014.
To ensure uninterrupted and cheap supply of cement in various projects under central government,
MoRTH has launched an online platform in FY 201415 with the name INAM-PRO, which will facilitate
cement procurement and fulfil the demand-supply gap.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths
The cement industry has many strengths to be considered. Cement is, literally, the building block of the
construction industry. Almost every building constructed relies on cement for its foundation. The cement
business is a $10 billion industry, measured by annual cement shipments. There is also a strong reputation
9
behind the cement industry. Cement is a solid material and consumers rarely have complaints about the
product. Regional distribution plants have also made cement widely available to any type of buyer.
Weaknesses
The cement industry is not without its drawbacks. The cement industry relies on construction jobs to
create a profit. But the cement industry heavily relies on weather. About two-thirds of cement production
takes place between May and October. Cement producers often use the winter months to produce and
stockpile cement, to meet demand. Another weakness is the cost of transport; the cost of transporting
cement is high and this keeps cement from being profitable over long distances. In other words, shipping
cement costs more than the profit from selling it.
Opportunities
The cement industries have opportunities as well. One such opportunity is the cement industry's
efficiency. The cement industry has recently streamlined its production efforts, using dry manufacturing
instead of wet, which is heavier and more time-consuming. The cement industry has also invested about
$6 billion in expansion efforts to meet unmet cement needs. Projections show that by 2012, the cement
industry will have 25 percent more production capabilities.
Threats
The nature of the economy has uncovered a number of threats to the cement industry. The cement
industry greatly relies on construction. The current economy has lessened the number of construction
jobs, which in turn hurts the cement industry. The cement industry controls the majority of the United
States market, but not all of it. About 11.5 metric tons of cement are imported annually to support the
unmet need. If other countries can produce and ship cement for a reduced price, the U.S. cement industry
is in danger. The U.S. government is also attempting to regulate the cement industry's waste. The
Environmental Protection Agency has introduced regulations for the cement industry to cut down
emissions.
The cement industry SWOT analysis indicates that the industry has been greatly affected by the economic
downturn. However, with investments, the industry believes it can rebuild and increase production. This
will lessen the need for foreign imports. The industry has become very renationalized because of the high
costs of transporting cement. However, the regional market caters to all types of jobs, from residential to
commercial projects, just within one region. And the shortened profitability period of cement has allowed
cement producers to stretch production across the year, to avoid overwork from May to December.

Interpretation:
Reserve and surplus are increasing from 53% to 60%indicates that company is making more profit
and after giving desired dividend to the shareholders, an ample amount of money is left to reinvest
in business.
Ultratech cement's equity is more than that of its competitor and shows less dependency on debt.
In year 2016, company was least dependent on long term debt and more on short term debt
indicates the low working capital at that time.
In year 2016, apart from payables and short term borrowings, all other current assets decreased
from9% to 0.41% that makes the company to pay its short term obligation easily as current assets
are increasing from 22% in 2015 to 32% in 2017.
JK Cement on the contrary in 2017 would not be able to pay its short term obligation on time.

Interpretation:
From 2015 to 2017, there is no much change in gross profit of the company indicates that company
is not doing or using any new technology to decrease their cost of goods sold to increase their
revenue.
On the other hand, there is not much difference in gross profit of Ultratech and its competitor.
There is a sudden hike in operating expenses of the company from 6% in 2015 to 48% in 2017 which
is very greater than its competitors.
But at the same time, company manages to reduces its other expenses from 60% to 15% that results
in increase in their net profit by 2%.
