Media reports recently indicated that Aditya Birla Group has acquired Jaypee Group’s cement unit in Gujarat for Rs 3,800 crore. The acquisition includes the Jaypee cement unit’s debt. As per the non-cash deal, UltraTech will take over the Rs 3,650-crore loan of Jaypee’s Gujarat unit and transfer to it Rs 150 crore worth of shares once the transaction is completed.

The worth of Jaypee’s unit fell from Rs 4,300 crore earlier following an economic downturn and concerns over a mine owned by Jaypee. The deal, to be completed in nine months, will increase the gap between UltraTech, already the largest cement company in India, and the Holcim group. While UltraTech’s capacity will increase by five million tonne per annum (mtpa) to 59 mtpa, it is setting up another 10 mtpa capacity by 2016.

Holcim, on the other hand, plans to add around eight mtpa by 2015, which will take the combined capacity of its two group companies – Ambuja Cement and ACC – to 65 mtpa.

According to a Moody’s report, India’s cement consumption is projected to rise by 50 per cent over the next five years, increasing from 445 million metric tons per annum (MMTPA) in FY24 to 670 MMTPA by 2030. This growth is expected to be driven by government infrastructure spending and rising housing demand, with an anticipated annual growth rate of 6-7 per cent. To meet this demand, major cement companies are likely to continue acquiring smaller, less profitable firms.
