Cement; and Grasim acquiring L&Ts cement business, Indian Rayons cement division, and Sri

Digvijay Cements. Foreign cement companies are also picking up stakes in large Indian cement

companies. Swiss cement major Holcim picked up 14.8 percent of the promoters stake in Gujarat

Ambuja Cements Limited (GACL). Holcims acquisition has led to the emergence of two major

groups in the Indian cement industry: the Holcim-ACC-Gujarat Ambuja Cements combine and the

Aditya Birla group through Grasim Industries and UltraTech Cement. Lafarge, the French cementmajor acquired the cement plants of Raymond and Tisco, and L&Ts Ready Mix Concrete (RMC)

business. Italy based Italcementi acquired a stake in the K.K. Birla promoted Zuari Industries

cement plant in Andhra Pradesh, and German cement company Heidelberg Cement entered into an

equal joint venture agreement with S P Lohia Group controlled Indo-Rama Cement.

The above process of mergers and acquisitions facilitated Indian cement industry to acquire

technical capability to produce different types of cement like Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC),

Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), Portland Blast Furnace Slag Cement (PBFS), Oil Well

Cement, Rapid Hardening Portland Cement, Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement, and White

Cement etc.

Nature of the Industry

Cyclical

Cement industry is cyclical in nature. It is highly sensitive to business cycles as well as broader

economic trends. There is a high degree of correlation between the GDP growth rate and the

growth in cement consumption. When the economy is in boom, the demand of cement increases

due to the development activity in the infrastructure sector, boom in real estate, and corporate

expansion. However, when the economy is in recession, cement industry too faces recession.

Regulated Industry

Cement industry, being a core industry of the country, is vital for the latters development. In

India, the cement industry is highly regulated and cement price is under government control. To

keep cement prices under control the government may take certain measures, which could be a

worrying factor for the industry, especially at a time when raw material prices and freight costs are

shooting through the roof. Recently, there was a steep rise in the cement price; cement price hasalways been a bone of contention between the government and the cement producer. Currently, the

government is exerting pressure on the industry to decrease cement price.

Standardized Technology

In the wake of cement industrys ability to acquire technical capability, cement production is a

standardized and simple process. Technology is not an entry barrier in the cement industry.

Industry does not offer any technological advantage to specific players. It is characterized by a

mature and stable technology with simple, minor improvements taking place over the years. Any

change in the technology can be easily diffused in the industry.

Conglomerations

The domestic cement industry is characterized by the presence of various diversified companies,

which have significant stake in the cement sector. Some of the prominent diversified players

operating in this sector are Grasim Industries, Jaiprakash Industries and Century Textiles.

Diversified conglomerates like the Birla Group and the Singhanias (Raymond, JK Synthetics) have

significant interests in the cement business.

Mining

The most important raw materials for making cement are limestone, clay and mart. These are

extracted from quarries using heavy machinery. The extracted raw materials are transported to the

crushing installation and then the crushed material is transported for raw material storage. It is

stored in blending beds and homogenized. The desired raw mix of crushed raw material and the

additional component required for the type of cement is done. Roller grinding mills and ball millswill then grind the mixture to a fine powder at the same time as drying it.

Manufacturing

Burning is the most important step in the manufacturing process, which takes place in huge rotary

kilns. At the end of kiln, the raw material is fed either directly or using a pre heater system. Before

reaching a temperature of about 14500C, the raw material is slowly cascaded down the inclined

kiln towards the heat. In this burning zone, a process called clinkering takes place. The clinker

nodules now drop into coolers. Conveyors then take these nodules away to the clinker storage

silos. Electrostatic precipitators clear the kiln to prevent the gas leaving it, to discharge into the

atmosphere. Cement mills use steel balls of various sizes and a small quantity of gypsum to grind

the clinker. A fine powder called cement is then formed. Gypsum is used to control setting times

of cement. The finished cement is then stored in silos. In order to ensure consistence, further

blending takes place at the silos where the cement is stored.Testing

Testing is undertaken right from the supply of raw material till the final product is dispatched.

Every company sets the standard for the quality of the product as also the raw material. Hence,

companies follow this standard and they check the quality using testing.

Marketing

Industry sources point out that cement business in India is mostly retail business. Companies

conduct market research at the time they enter the market and analyze the quality of cement

produced by their competitors.

After market research, companies develop and refine the product that meets customer needs.

Packaging and pricing represents a very concrete way to communicate with the target market and

express the positioning of business. Companies also ensure the right kind of distribution method

that suits the company and the customer. Companies also promote the product through

advertisements.

As experts point out, the market structure of the Indian cement industry is fragmented with no firm

having a significant market share. The industry comprises small and medium sized companies. The

top 5 players in the Indian cement industry make up for more than half of the installed capacity of

around 190 million tons while small players hold the balance portion in the industry. Market share

of top five players in the industry has increased from 42% in FY 02 to 56% in FY 07. In FY 07,

Holcim group maintained its leadership position with a market share of 22.6% followed by Aditya

Vikram Birla group at 19.4%.

The extent of concentration in the industry has increased over the years. The reason for this being

the focus of the larger and more efficient units to consolidate their operations by restructuring their

businesses and by taking over relatively weaker units. The relatively smaller and weaker units are

finding it difficult to withstand the cyclical pressure of the cement industry.

Industry Performance

The current growth lead in Indian cement industry has been happening over the past seven years.

The reason is the boom in real estate and the housing sector, infrastructure projects, and industrial

expansion. Among these, real estate sector is the key driver and accounted for almost 55% in FY

08. The growth in the domestic demand for cement surpassed the economic growth rate of thecountry; also, the growth rate of cement demand over the last five years at a CAGR 8.37% was

higher than the growth rate of supply at a CAGR 4.84%.

Figure 2: Growth in Demand and Production

Source: Hindu Business Line.

Cement production increased from 155.66 million tons in 2006-07 to 168.29 million tons in

2007-08 with an 8.11 percent growth rate. In March 2008, the industry produced 16.37 million

tons of cement, the highest production compared with the production in the remaining months of

Financial Year 2007-08. Simultaneously, the overall dispatches of the industry grew by 7.98

percent during 2007-08 to 167.65 million tons compared to 155.26 million tons in 2006-07.

Cement dispatches have increased by 6.05 percent to 14.72 million tons in April 2008 against

13.88 million tons in April 2007.

Cement is a bulky commodity and cannot be transported with ease over long distance. This is the

reason it makes it to a regional market place, and the nation being divided into five regions. Each

region is characterized by its own demand supply dynamics. Region-wise, the growth of

consumption as of March 2008 was about 10 percent over the previous year in the North and

South, 15 percent in the West, 5 percent in the centre and 2 percent in the East. These contribute to

a 9 percent growth across India.

Figure 3: Capacity Utilization

Source: Hindu Business Line.

Analysts say that the growing demand for cement has led to an increase in its production capacity.

The total production capacity of the Indian cement industry has increased to 190 mt at the end of

2007-08, as against 167 mt at the end of 2006-07, recording a growth rate of 13-14 percent.

Further, with a capacity addition of 0.45 mt by Vasavadatta Cement in April 2008, the installed

capacity of the cement industry has increased to 196.22 mt as on April 30, 2008. Currently, Indian

cement industry is operating at 100% capacity utilization. The reason is capacity addition in the

industry is at a slower rate compared to demand growth and is leading to maximum capacity

utilization.

Growth Initiatives

Infrastructure and Housing Boom

Currently, Indian economy is growing at nearly 9 percent. To maintain this growth rate in future,

government spending on infrastructure facilities are expected to increase. In India, real estate and

housing sector are in a boom phase. Government initiatives in the infrastructure sector, coupled

with the housing sector boom and urban development, will continue to be the main drivers of

growth for the Indian cement industry. Increased infrastructure spending has been a key focus area

over the last five years indicating good times ahead for cement manufacturers.

As per estimates, an investment of US$25 billion is required for urban housing, and an investment

of US$450 billion is required for infrastructure-related projects. Industrial expansion projects

would witness investments worth US$88 billion over the next five years. Furthermore, Finance

Minister, P. Chidambaram, has stated that India would double the amount to be spent on

infrastructure over the next five years to sustain its record economic growth and modernize itsinfrastructure. The government has increased budgetary allocation for roads development under

National Highway Development Project (NHDP) to USD 3.23 billion; this allocation will keep up

the demand for cement. The continuous increase in the number of infrastructure projects along

with a rise in construction activity has ensured rising demand levels for the cement industry.

Hence, the demand for domestic cement is expected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 10% for

the next 5 years.

Capacity Addition

Cement companies are adding more plants to provide for a rapidly expanding economy. Cement

industry is therefore expected to add 111 million ton (mt) of annual capacity by the end of 2009-10

(FY 10), riding on the back of approximately 141 outstanding cement projects. As per ICRA

Industry Monitor, the installed capacity is expected to increase to 186 mt per annum (mtpa) by

FY 08-end, and 219 mtpa by end of FY 09, and up to 241 mtpa by FY 10-end.

Commercial Structure and Corporate Projects

Currently, various sectors like textile, chemical, plastic and mineral are operating at 100%

capacity. Therefore, large investment in capacity expansion across these sectors is likely to boost

the demand for cement as also the huge demand for multiplex and malls envisaged by real estate

companies. Hence experts feel that the demand for cement is here to stay.

Captive Power Plants

Rising cost of power and interruptions is a big concern to the industry as this affects the bottom

line of the companies. The power requirements of the cement industry average around 110-120

kilowatt hours of power per ton of cement produced. The average energy cost of the industry has

increased from Rs.528 a ton in Financial Year (FY) 2000 to Rs.581 a ton in FY 2007. The industrynow focuses on captive power generation to reduce power costs and to ensure continuous power

supply. Captive power generation tends to be more cost effective as compared to power from the

grid. According to an estimate, power from the grid usually averages Rs.3/unit, and that generated

from DG sets cost Rs.5/unit, while power generated using coal-fired steam turbines costs

Rs.1.5-2/unit. At the end of FY07, nearly 53% of the total cement production was powered

through captive sources.

Logistic Cost

Logistic cost is also an important cost element. Cement, which is low value bulk product, logistics

is a big cost component both by way of transforming the raw material to the plant and cement to its

market. Freight and distribution expenses as a percent of cost of sales for the cement companies

have increased from 18.4 percent in 2002 to 24 percent in 2007. In FY 2008 freight costs are

soaring with higher petroleum and diesel prices. The 2008 Railway Budgets 14 percent reductionin freight charges for fly ash, waiver of busy season surcharge on bulk goods and addition of new

lines to serve cement clusters in different regions, could bring some relief to cement companies on

this front in the coming quarters. Also, cement movement by rail has increased over the years.

Issues and Concerns

Rising Input Costs

An increase in the cost of coal, power tariff, royalty on limestone and freight costs have resulted in

cost pressure. Domestic coal prices surged following a 10 percent hike in the prices of all grades of

coal by Coal India Limited in December 2007. The sharp surge in coal prices (due to continued

demand in the Asian region), and the significant rise in international oil prices, prompted a move

towards coal-based power generation. Cement plants accounted for around 4.2 percent of Indias

coal demand. A further spike in energy cost, the profit margin of the market player erodes further.

Oversupply

Though cement industry is adding capacity experts feel that this scenario poses a problem of

oversupply in the cement industry. Cement producers are expected to increase 88 million tons

capacity of cement production at the end of FY 10. Thus, the cement producers have more cement

to supply than its demand.

Rising Interest Rate

Also the rise in interest rates on housing loans creates a fear that high interest rates would affect

the housing and real estate boom.

Future Scenario

Industry players expect the demand for cement to continue and to remain robust; they also expect

it to sustain the 9-10% per annum growth over the next few years in the wake of huge

infrastructure and housing development requirements across the country. However, the 80-90 mtpa

fresh capacity additions over the next couple of years will lead to softening of cement prices in the

country. Further, any increase in cement prices in the near term would primarily be aimed at

offsetting additional cost pressures.

UltraTech Products

UTCL manufactures and markets Portland cement, Portland blast furnace slag cement, and

Portland Pozzolana cement; it also manufactures Ready Mix concrete.

Ordinary Portland Cement

Ordinary Portland cement is the most commonly used cement for a wide range of applications.

These applications cover dry-lean mixes, general-purpose ready-mixes, and even high strength

pre-cast and pre-stressed concrete.

Portland Blast Furnace Slag Cement

Portland blast-furnace slag cement contains up to 70 percent of finely ground, granulated

blast-furnace slag, a non-metallic product consisting essentially silicates and alumino-silicates of

calcium. Slag brings with it the advantage of the energy invested in the slag making. Grinding slag

for cement replacement takes only 25 percent of the energy needed to manufacture Portland

cement. Using slag cement to replace a portion of Portland cement in a concrete mixture is a useful

method to make concrete better and more consistent. Portland blast-furnace slag cement has alighter color, better concrete workability, easier finish ability, higher compressive and flexural

strength, lower permeability, improved resistance to aggressive chemicals and more consistent

plastic and hardened consistency.

Portland Pozzolana Cement

Portland Pozzolana cement is ordinary Portland cement blended with pozzolanic materials

(power-station fly ash, burnt clays, ash from burnt plant material or silicious earths), either

together or separately. Portland clinker is ground with gypsum and pozzolanic materials which,

though they do not have cementing properties in themselves, combine chemically with Portland

cement in the presence of water to form extra strong cementing material which resists wet

cracking, thermal cracking and has a high degree of cohesion and workability in concrete and

mortar.

UltraTech Concrete

UltraTech Concrete is a part of UTCL. Ready Mix Concrete business has a substantial growth in

coming years. For capturing this growth, the company has commenced setting up RMC plants at

various places in the country. Currently, UltraTech Concrete plants are present in 17 cities

Mumbai, Pune, Nasik, Nagpur, Ahmadabad, Surat, Gurgaon, Noida, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Chennai,

Bangalore, Hyderabad, Cochin, Vizag, Ludhiana, and Kolkata.

Basic Revenue Model

UTCL distribution network is pan India spread across India. It has 14000 dealers and 60000

retailers. It distributes cements to retail customers through this network. It also manufactures and

distributes Ready Mix Concrete. Currently, UltraTech directly distributes concrete to builders and

construction companies from its RMC plants located in 17cities.

UTCL is also the countrys largest exporter of cement and clinker. The company exports over

2.5 million tons per annum, which is about 30 percent of the countrys total exports. The export

markets span countries around the Indian Ocean, Africa, Europe and the Middle East.

Business Strategy

UltraTech is the second largest cement producer in India with a market share of 10%. In the fourth

quarter of Financial Year 2007-08, it reported a net sales growth of 9.3% YoY to Rs.16,020

millions. This growth was lead by about 9% YoY improvement in blended realisation per ton of

Rs.3,325 (Rs.3,050) as the company benefited from the run-up witnessed in cement prices in the

South.

Ready Mix Concrete Plants

The ready mix concrete sales account 5% of the companys total sales. In future, the demand of the

ready mix concrete will increase and its growth rate is likely to be substantial. Therefore, it has

established ready mix concrete plants at various places in the country to capture the demand of

ready mix concrete and is likely to add a few more.

Expanding Capacities

In India, the demand for cement is expected to rise in near future because of increased government

spends on infrastructure projects, and due to housing and real estate boom. To capture this

demand, the company plans to expand its capacity from 17 million tons to 25 million tons by

increasing its production capacity by 8 million tons.

Power Cost

Cement industry is an energy intensive industry. The availability of quality power on a regular

basis at an economic rate is a big challenge. So, the company is to establish captive power plants

to mitigate rising energy costs. The company is to set up captive power plants at its Andhra

Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Gujarat units. These plants would meet 80 percent of the companys

power requirement. Captive power plants reduce dependence on the State Power Grid.

Capturing South Indian Market

In the southern region, demand for cement is expected to be high in coming years. The demand is

driven by government projects like IT Parks, Special Economic Zones and infrastructure projects.

UltraTech is augmenting capacities by an additional 4.9 million tons per annum at its unit in

Andhra Pradesh, to cater to the growing demand in the South Indian market.

Building Solutions Retails Stores

To retain its customer base, to be accessible to its customers, and to extend customer support the

company proposes to establish 200 Building Solutions Retail Stores (UTBS) across India before

the end of this calendar year. The concept is based on plan, build and support philosophy. Using

this service, the customer can get a list of construction products like wood, paints, fittings, sands,

bricks etc. all at one place. UTBS would also offer a complete support through tests at the

construction site to ensure quality standards.

Capital Expenditure Plan

UltraTech Cement has allocated over Rs.26,000 millions for its various Capex plans. Of this,

around Rs. 11,000 millions will be spent in setting up captive power plants at their Units in

Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Gujarat. The Power Plant in Andhra Pradesh will be

commissioned in the last quarter of FY 08 and the one at Chhattisgarh in the first quarter of FY 09.

The power plant in Gujarat will be commissioned in a phased manner commencing from the last

quarter of FY 08 and ending in the second quarter of FY 09. The capacity of Companys Unit at

Andhra Pradesh is being increased by 4 mtpa with a grinding Unit in Karnataka at an expenditure

of around Rs.11,000 millions. It was commissioned in March 2008, and this will help the outfit to

meet the growing demand in South India.

Ready Mix Concrete is likely to see substantial growth in the years to come. Recognising the

opportunities that this business will offer, company has commenced setting up Ready Mix

Concrete Plants at various places in the country.

Future Scenario

Currently, in India, cement industry is adding capacity to meet the growing demand of cement.

UltraTech is a market leader in establishing capacity addition and company has planned to

increase its capacity 8 million tons from 17 million tons to 25 million tons.

Company sources confirm that problem of power shortage and rising input cost is a bigger threat.

For this, it chalked out an action plan to meet future contingencies. For power shortage, company

is planning to establish captive power plants. Captive power plants reduce dependence on state

grid. Rising Input costs affect the industrys profit margin. But UltraTech cement has fared better

as compared to others in the industry because of its concentration in the Western and Southern

markets; this move has led to stronger growth in its demand and gave higher returns. The capacity

of UltraTechs Unit in Andhra Pradesh is being augmented by 4 mtpa with a grinding Unit in

Karnataka at an expenditure of around Rs.11,000 millions. This was commissioned in March

2008. This augmentation will also help the company to cater to the growing demand in South

India.

UltraTech exports its cement to Middle East countries. Currently, Middle East countries are in the

midst of an infrastructure boom. UltraTech cement is utilizing this opportunity because thecompany has a customer base in these countries. This also boosts the demand for its cement.

The companys future prospects are characterized to industry future and UTCL claims that the

company is better placed in industry compared to other peer groups.
