2. Use of cement
• Productionof Concrete
• Construction Purpose
o Building (Floors, Beams, Columns,
Roofing)
o Transport (Roads, Pathways, Crossings,
Bridge)
o Water (Pipes, Drains, Canals)
o Agriculture (Irrigation, Housing)
3. Type of cement
Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC),
Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC),
Oil Well Cement,
Rapid Hardening,
White Cement, etc……..,
6. Tehnology
• The technology is a continuous process and is
highly energy intensive.
• At present 93% of cement production in India is
based on modern and environment-friendly dry
process technology and only 7% of the capacity is
based on old wetand semi-dry process technology.
7. The cost of cement
29% energy;
27% raw materials;
32% labourand
12% depreciation
8. Evolution of indian cement
industry
• A Kolkata based company started
manufacturing cement in 1889.
• After theeconomic reform in 1980’s
the government control on cement
industry was liberalized.

12. Current status
Ourcountry Responsible for 7-8 percentof global
cement production.
139 largecementplants
365 mini cement plants
Cementsales 16.26 million tonnes.
Indiaexports to 30 countries
India is thesecond largestcement market in theworld
after china.
13. Growth rate
Indiawould require overall cementcapacityof around
480 million tonnes.
This would mean the industrywill have toadd another
150 million tonnesof capacityduring the period.
According to the latestreport from theworking group
on the industry for the 12th five-year Plan (2012-17).
14. Factors that will drive growth in
this sector
Housing segment growth is leading to higher demand
for cement for home building.
Government’s 12th Five Year Plan focuses on
increasing infrastructure (upgraded airports, ports,
railway expansion, etc.) to drive construction activity.
Cement and gypsum products sectors in India is
attracted foreign direct investment.
16. Constraints:
1).high costof power.
2).high railway tariff.
3).high incidence of stateand central levies and duties.
4).lack of privateand public investment in
infrastructureproject.
5).lowqualitycoal and inadequategrowthof related
infrastructure likesea and rail transport.
6).portsand bulk transports.
18. Conclusion
“Cement is one of the fundamental element for
setting up strong and healthy infrastructure of
the country and plays an important role in
economic development and welfare of the
nation”
