CEMENT PLANT

Description:

The general outlook for the cement industry is fulfilled the situation in a large body of Indian Industry, with a market rise in production failing to generate adequate profitability. In some quarters, the mini-cement plant has been following, since it opens up possibilities of exploiting small deposits of limestone in difficult and thereby contributes to the socialist pattern on the other hand. There has been a bright scope in setting up mini-cement plant. Indian Government is providing a scheme of soft loans to current units wishing to convert from wet to dry. With the combination of all these new development the industry may with luck play its full role in the national programme

Cement Plant

Description:

Cement industry is one of the most important basic industries on which depends the economic health of a developing country. In fact the important indicators of the industrial vitality of a country is its per capita consumption of cement. India is the eleventh largest producer of cement of the world, with an installed capacity of 26.5 million tonnes and an investment of Rs. 280 crores in 55 units spread all over the country providing employment to over 80,000 persons. A development council embracing representative of all parties concerned with the industry including consumers has been setup. The council is intended to function as a watching over seeing all aspects of the industry fixing production targets, monitoring progress, optimizing the use of raw materials and attending to such matters as standardization, export promotion, developing the use of industrial wastes in cement manufacturer and production of special cements. Realized in this sense, analysis of cement demand should, ideally, proceed on the basis of measuring the demand for capital goods, intermediate products or, to some extent durable consumer goods. Urban development to a large extent depends on the availability of construction materials like steel and cement not only for the residential complexes, but also for the overhead facilities like roads, bridges tanks etc. besides the urban sectors, the growth of rural sector may also influence the level of major irrigation, residential and non residential farm houses etc. The demand for this product is good. There is good scope for new entrants in this field.

CEMENT PLANT

Description:

In the most general sense of the word, cement is a binder, a substance which sets and hardens independently, and can bind other materials together. The name "cement" goes back to the Romans who used the term "opus caementitium" to describe masonry which resembled concrete and was made from crushed rock with burnt lime as binder. The volcanic ash and pulverized brick additives which were added to the burnt lime to obtain a hydraulic binder were later referred to as cementum, cimentum, cäment and cement. Cements used in construction are characterized as hydraulic or non-hydraulic. The most important use of cement is the production of mortar and concrete - the bonding of natural or artificial aggregates to form a strong building material which is durable in the face of normal environmental effects. The cement industry is experiencing a boom on account of the overall growth of the Indian economy. The demand for cement, being a derived demand, depends primarily on the industrial activity, real estate business, construction activity, and investment in the infrastructure sector. India is experiencing growth on all these fronts and hence the cement market is flourishing like never before. Indian cement industry is globally competitive because the industry has witnessed healthy trends such as cost control and continuous technology upgradation. Global rating agency, Fitch Ratings, has commented that cement demand in India is expected to grow at 10% annually in the medium term buoyed by housing, infrastructure and corporate capital expenditures. The Indian cement industry is the second largest producer of quality cement, which meets global standards. The cement industry comprises 130 large cement plants with an installed capacity of 156. 26 million tonnes and more than 300 mini cement plants with an estimated capacity of 11.10 million tonnes making a total installed capacity of 167.36 million tonnes. Keeping in view the trend of growth of the industry, a production target of 142 million tonnes was fixed for the year 2005-2006. Cement production during April to December 2005 was 106.83 million tonnes, registering a growth of 9.31 percent. During November 2006, cement production was 12.43 Million tonnes, registering a growth of 11.98% as compared to 11.10 million tonnes in November 2005. Indian cement industry meets entire domestic demand and is able to export cement and clinker. The export of cement and clinker during April- December 2005 was 4.24 Million Tonnes and 2.53 million tonnes respectively. During November 2006, cement export showed a decline of 36.92% (from 0.65 million tonnes in November 2005 to 0.41 million tonnes in November 2006), whereas clinker export grew by 40.74% (from 0.27 million tonnes in Nov 2005 to 0.38 million tonnes in November 2006). continuous technological upgradation and assimilation of latest technology has been going on in the cement industry. Indian cement industry is modern and uses the latest technology. India is also producing different varieties of cement like Ordinary Portland cement (OPC), Portland Pozzolana cement (PPC), Portland Blast furnace Slag Cement (PBFS), Oil Well Cement, Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement, White Cement, etc. Future growth will be driven by expected GDP growth of more than 8 percent, growth of the housing sector and the development of roads, ports, airports and other infrastructure. The major players in the cement sector are ACC, Gujarat Ambuja Cement Limited, Grasim Industries and Ultratech, India Cements Limited, Jaiprakash Associates and JK Cements. Foreign players such as Holcim Italcementi, Heidelber and Lafarge have also entered the cement market.

Description:

The term cement is used to designate many different kinds of substances that are used as binders. The term cements as used henceforth will be confined to inorganic hydraulic cements, principally Portland cement. India is the second-largest producer of cement in the world after China with industry capacity of approximately 160 MT in 2006. The cement industry is regional in nature due to the concentration of limestone reserves located in a few states. This has resulted in a surplus situation in some regions and a deficit in others. Demand for cement has grown at a CAGR of 9.1% in the last two years with supply growing at a CAGR of 8.2% in the same period. With a large amount of infrastructure activities being planned in commercial, real estate and housing sector along with huge development works in roads, railways, ports and hydel projects, we expect the cement demand growth momentum to stay intact. We expect this to have a positive impact on cement prices in different regions till new capacities come up by mid-FY09. Demand for cement is correlated to the GDP growth of the country, infrastructure and industrial capex as well as exports. Strong GDP growth expected in the coming years and huge planned investments should result in healthy growth in the cement demand. The Indian economy continues to be on a much stronger growth path driven by increased amount of infrastructure spending and capex. The economy is expected to grow by 8% for the next two to three years, which will drive an increased demand growth for the cement industry. The cement demand is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10% at least for the next three years. The cement industry witnessed serious M&A activity in the past few years, as a result of which the top four players now account for almost 52-55% of the installed cement capacity of India, as against 40-42% in FY00.The M&A activity have also had global participants. The growing presence of international players bring with them better technology and operational efficiencies which could significantly alter pricing patterns. The cement industry has witnessed substantial reorganization of capacities during the last couple of years. Some examples of the consolidation witnessed during the recent past include: Gujarat Ambuja taking a stake of 14% in ACC; Gujarat Ambuja taking over DLF Cements and Modi Cement; India Cement taking over Raasi Cement and Sri Vishnu Cement; Grasim's acquisition of the cement business of L&T; Indian Rayon's cement division merging with Grasim; Grasim taking over Sri Digvijay Cements; L&T taking over Narmada Cements; ACC taking over IDCOL.

The M&A activity have also had global participants. The growing presence of international players bring with them better technology and operational efficiencies which could significantly alter pricing patterns. Indian cement sales rose 4.82% for FY11, its slowest pace in more than a decade, on poor demand. According to a report from the Business Standard, manufacturers have failed to match their expectation of 9 to 10 per cent growth in financial year 2010 to 2011, and are the first time since the industry entered its boom time during mid 2005 that cement makers’ high trajectory growth slipped to almost half of what experts had anticipated. The industry blames the slide on persistent poor demand for the building commodity throughout the year. After the Commonwealth Games held in Delhi last October, demand worsened, pulling down production and sales on a year on year basis in subsequent months, the report said. Cement demand is dependent on the level of construction activities. Construction activities are in turn closely related to a number of macroeconomic factors such as consumer spending, population growth, manufacturing sector growth, inflation rates, government spending etc. The construction industry is the second largest industry in India after agriculture. It accounts for about 11% of India’s GDP. It makes significant contribution to the national economy and provides employment to large number of people. Construction constitutes 40% to 50% of India's capital expenditure on projects in various sectors such as highways, roads, railways, energy, airports, irrigation etc. There are mainly three segments in the construction industry like real estate construction which includes residential and commercial construction; infrastructure building which includes roads, railways, power etc; and industrial construction that consists of oil and gas refineries, pipelines, textiles etc. Building material is any material which is used for a construction purpose. Many naturally occurring substances, such as clay, sand, wood and rocks, even twigs and leaves have been used to construct buildings. Apart from naturally occurring materials, many man made products are in use. According to a study by ASSOCHAM, the burgeoning Indian construction industry will rise in the coming years. A large and growing middle class population of more than 300 million people, a changing life style, better cost of living etc is growth drivers for this sector. The cement industry has witnessed substantial reorganization of capacities during the last couple of years. Some examples of the consolidation witnessed during the recent past include: Gujarat Ambuja taking a stake of 14% in ACC; Gujarat Ambuja taking over DLF Cements and Modi Cement; India Cement taking over Raasi Cement and Sri Vishnu Cement; Grasims acquisition of the cement business of L&T; Indian Rayons cement division merging with Grasim; Grasim taking over Sri Digvijay Cements; L&T taking over Narmada Cements; ACC taking over IDCOL. There is a very good scope and market potential of cement right now. New entrepreneurs should venture into this field.

Description:

Cement is a material with adhesive and cohesive properties which make it capable of bonding minerals fragments into a compact whole. It can be defined as any substance, which can join unite two or more pieces of some other substance together to form a unit mass. Cement, as used in construction industries, is a fine powder which when mixed with water and allowed to set and harden can join different components or members together to give a mechanically strong structure. Thus cement can be used as bonding material for bricks or for bonding solid particles of different sizes (rubber masonry) to form a monolith. The name Portland cement is given originally due to the resemblance of the color and quality of the hardened cement to Portland stone Portland Island in England. The most common type of cement used by concrete manufacturers is Portland cement, which is prepared by igniting a mixture of raw materials mainly composed of calcium carbonate or aluminium silicates. According to ASTM standard specification C 150, Portland cement is defined as a hydraulic cement produced by pulverizing clinker consisting essentially of hydraulic calcium silicates, usually containing one or more of the forms of calcium sulfate as an inter ground addition . The phase compositions in Portland cement are shown below and they are denoted as tri calcium silicate (C3S), di calcium silicate (C2S), tri calcium aluminate (C3A), and tetra calcium alumino ferrite (C4AF) Uses & Applications The most common use for cement is in the production of concrete. Concrete is a composite material consisting of aggregate (gravel and sand), cement, and water. As a construction material, concrete can be cast in almost any shape desired, and once hardened, can become a structural (load bearing) element. Users may be involved in the factory production of pre cast units, such as panels, beams, road furniture, or may make cast in situ concrete such as building superstructures, roads, dams. Market Survey Indian cement industry, a leading manufacturing sub-sector in India, entered a new era after the partial decontrol in 1982 and near total free market in 1989, ahead of the dawn of the liberalisation era in the country. The industry was totally delicensed in 1991 under the Industries Development and Regulation Act. India is the second largest producer of cement in the world after China. It is followed by Japan and the USA. The overall turnover of the industry is placed at Rs 600 bn. India accounts for a share of about 6% against China's 37% and the USA's 5% of global production. The demand for cement mainly depends on the level of development and the rate of growth of the economy. There are no close substitutes for cement and hence the demand for cement is price inelastic.
