demand of cement is also increasing. As total consumption of cement is increasing in India year by year, growth rate of cement
has also increased. Recently, average growth rate of cement sector is 15.96%. So, it indicates positive sign for cement sector.
With increase in total consumption of cement, growth rate has also increased since last 5 years. From above calculation, we
have come to know average growth rate of cement sector i.e 15.96%.

Due To Increase In Total Consumption Of Cement, Growth Rate Of Cement Is Also Increasing. Current Average
Growth Rate Is 15.96%
With the help of average growth rate and past data, we have forecasted demand of cement for next 5 years.
Graph shows the increasing trend in demand.
With the help of constant supply and forecasted demand for next 5 years, we have calculated supply-demand
gap. The graph shows that gap is increasing year by year.
Capacity utilization of cement industry is increasing year by year. So, it indicates good sign for an industry.
22. INDUSTRY FINDINGS
• The Industry has been facing a chronic problem of insufficient availability of the main
fuel coal, driving the manufacturers to resort to use of alternatives at steep cost.
• Taxes and Government levies on cement are high compared to countries in Asia pacific
region.
• Cement Industry, which was branded as the highest polluter of environment, now meets
the pollution standards, and no longer a polluter today.
• Exports Cement/Clinker to around 30 countries across the globe and earns precious
foreign exchange.
• High Govt. levies and inadequate infrastructure facilities at ports and border points make
Indian cement uncompetitive in the global market.
• Housing sector is expected to remain the largest cement consumer in coming years. With
a large percentage of Indian population being below the age of 25, the construction
activity is expected to make a significant contribution in the context of growing housing
needs, development of roads and other infrastructure, urbanization, etc.
• Reduction in custom duty of Gypsum and Pet coke will have a very negligible impact on
the Cost structure of cement companies.
