Emami’s foray into the cement space, Nirma’s entry into the segment after the buyout of Lafarge India’s 11-million tonne (MT) cement business, and Shree Cement’s proposed investments have laid the ground for cement players eyeing more revenues from east India, reports Mint.
HM Bangur, Managing Director of Shree Cement has been quoted as saying that while the cement industry nationally will grow by 5 per cent this year, the growth in east India will be 10 per cent, which will make this region a key priority for the cement players.
Of the cement national production of 300 MT per annum, the contribution of eastern region with 55 MT capacity is 17-18 per cent. The national capacity at the moment is 370 MT per annum. With demand expected to scale up to 600 MT over the next 10 years, the capacity would need to be at least 700 MT, Bangur added.

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.
