In the Q4FY14 quarter, all India cement prices showed a growth of 4.5 per cent to Rs 305 per 50 kg bag on a y-o-y basis. In the north, due to the closure of Binani Cement´s Rajasthan plant and Ambuja Cements´ Himachal Pradesh facility, cement prices moved up to Rs 316 per 50 kg bag. This will enhance sales growth of companies, which have a high exposure to north and central regions. In the west, cement prices had gone up in Gujarat by Rs 20 per 50 kg bag while the demand in the region is steady.

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.
