Indian Cement Review will be completing its 25 years of publication this August. On the eve of this milestone a Round Table Discussion will be held in Mumbai on 10th June.The Round Table Discussion will focus on the most pressing issue facing the cement industry. The industry is going through a rough patch as the capacity build up was in excess of demand in the past 2-3 years. Surprisingly, prices have been moving northward despite weaker demand.

The participants are largely from cement and related industry like logistics, user industry, government officials, etc.To commemorate the completion of 25 years, Indian Cement Review will publish the Silver Jubilee issue in August, highlighting the major developments in cement industry in the past 25 years, what shape the industry will assume in next five years and views and perceptions of industry captains on various aspects of cement industry.The current issue covers an in depth analysis of cement prefabricated component industry in India.
