    INDIAN ECONOMY ANALYSIS

    India is the tenth largest economy in the world in terms of GDP. The Indian Economy due to itspeculiar trends has been a subject of interest for the world. After independence, the India

    economy was more like a socialist economy: democratic, large public sectors and heavregulations on private sectors. Around the 1990s the economy reached a point of stagnation. Thenin 1991, India saw the largest economic reforms pioneered by Dr. Manmohan Singh, the thenfinance minister. These changes improve the rate of economic growth and social developmentEconomists predict that the Indian economy will be the third largest by 2025, after the USA andChina.

    Inflation, as measured by the Wholesale Price Index (WPI), has remained above 7per cent sinceDecember 2009. Food inflation has been particularly elevated over this period, contributing to aaverage of one third of total inflation. Consumer price inflation, with higher weights on food, havebeen generally higher than the headline WPI inflation. A moderation in WPI inflation is now clearlyvisible, but the moderation has largely been due to deceleration in the rate of inflation of nonfoo

    manufactured products. Inflation pressures have eased globally. Global consumer prices rose at a3.7 percent annualized rate at the end of 2012. Inflation for developing countries also moderated toa 5.4 percent annualized rate in the three months through November 2012, from an average 7.2percent in 2011. Benign inflation in global commodity prices, with inflation for energy and nonenergy commodities in base line scenario expected to be around (-) 2.6 per cent and (-) 2.0 pecent respectively in 2013, will check the inflation of tradable commodities even in India. Apart frommonetary policy attempting to control demand, supply side responses will be necessary to bringdown inflation in a sustained way, and ongoing policy initiatives need to be pursued.

    INDIA GDP GROWTH RATEThe Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in India expanded 1.30 percent in the fourth quarter of

    2012 over the previous quarter. GDP Growth Rate in India is reported by the OECD.

    Historically, from 1996 until 2012, India GDP Growth Rate averaged 1.63 Percent reaching an

    all-time high of 5.80 Percent in December of 2003 and a record low of -1.70 Percent in March

    of 2009. In India, the growth rate in GDP measures the change in the seasonally adjusted

    value of the goods and services produced by the Indian economy during the quarter. India is

    the worlds tenth largest economy and the second most populous. The most important and the

    6

  • 7/28/2019 ACC Limited.final

    7/98

    fastest growing sector of Indian economy are services. Trade, hotels, transport and

    communication; financing, insurance, real estate and business services and community, socia

    and personal services account for more than 60 percent of GDP. Agriculture, forestry and

    fishing constitute around 12 percent of the output, but employs more than 50 percent of the

    labor force. Manufacturing accounts for 15 percent of GDP, construction for another 8 percent

    and mining, quarrying, electricity, gas and water supply for the remaining 5 percent.

    INDIA INTEREST RATE

    The benchmark interest rate in India was last recorded at 7.50 percent. Interest Ratein India is reported by the Reserve Bank of India. Historically, from 2000 until 2013,

    India Interest Rate averaged 6.56 Percent reaching an all-time high of 14.50 Percent in

    August of 2000 and a record low of 4.25 Percent in April of 2009. In India, interest rate

    decisions are taken by the Reserve Bank of India's Central Board of Directors. The

    official interest rate is the benchmark repurchase rate.

    INDIA INFLATION RATEThe inflation rate in India was recorded at 6.84 percent in February of 2013. Inflation Rate inIndia is reported by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. Historically, from 1969 until 2013,

    India Inflation Rate averaged 7.74 Percent reaching an all-time high of 34.68 Percent in

    September of 1974 and a record low of -11.31 Percent in May of 1976. In India, the wholesale

    price index (WPI) is the main measure of inflation. The WPI measures the price of a

    representative basket of wholesale goods. In India, wholesale price index is divided into three

    groups: Primary Articles (20.1 percent of total weight), Fuel and Power (14.9 percent) and

    Manufactured Products (65 percent). Food Articles from the Primary Articles Group account for

    14.3 percent of the total weight. The most important components of the Manufactured

    Products Group are Chemicals and Chemical products (12 percent of the total weight); Basic

    Metals, Alloys and Metal Products (10.8 percent); Machinery and Machine Tools (8.9 percent);Textiles (7.3 percent) and Transport, Equipment and Parts (5.2 percent).

    SWOT Analysis of Indian EconomyStrength:

    The strength of the Indian economy lies in its robust nature, which is evident from its constangrowth even during times of recession (2008-09). The banking and credit system has been able tosurvive the downturn due to heavy regulations imposed by the RBI. This brought mortransparency to the system.

    Another important factor that forms the spine of the Indian economy is agriculture, because employs nearly 50% of the total population. Although agriculture shares only 18.5% of GDP, imakes India self-reliant in terms of food supply. Today, India is a leading producer of a number oagricultural products that give a boost to the export value. The youth of India, which makes a largepart of the population is an advantage as it constitutes a huge work force.

    Weaknesses:

    Primary weakness of the Indian economy is its excessive dependence on agriculture. Sinceagriculture is monsoon dependent trade, production can vary by large margins and causturbulence in the economy. India also lags behind in social development. A large part of thepopulation is still living below the poverty line. Another weakness is the literacy rate. Although wehave achieved high progress rates in terms of GDP, more than a third of the population remains

    illiterate, thus, easily exploitable.Opportunities:

    India has ample opportunities for growth. The agriculture sector and SMEs need to be encouragedand assisted as they have high potential. Indian government should focus on defining and properlyimplementing the policies for rural development, as most of the population resides in rural India

    Also, there is a scope for large-scale infrastructure development and a need to properly carry outhe MNREGA, JNNURM and other schemes, so that the benefits penetrate to the lower level of thepopulation. Tourism is a thriving industry in India and we need to harness its potential. It will helraise our foreign reserves and create employment opportunities.

    Threats:

    Terrorism and corruption are the greatest threats that India faces. It is because both hamper the

    growth of people and trade, which is a must for overall economic growth. The rising inflationhording and black-marketing, also pose a threat to economic development. Economic growthmainly the exports, has seen a downward trend due to the worldwide economic downturn and hasbecome a cause of concern. The Indian government needs to redefine its policies and bring morestringent reforms to steer out of this turbulence.

    INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

    10/98

    Responsible for 7-8 percent of global cement production, India is the second largest cemenmarket in the world, and also an exporter to 30 countries. The cement industry in India is dividedinto five geographical segments, wherein the North and South regions are the leading suppliers ocement. The East, West and Central regions face deficit of cement, thereby relying on purchasesfrom the North and South. According to the Cement Manufacturers Association (CMA), there ar139 large cement plants and 365 mini and white cement plants in the country.

    Overview

    According to the Cement Manufacturers Association (CMA), cement sales for May 2012 werregistered at 16.26 million Tonnes (MT), which signifies a 14 percent growth over the same periodin 2011. Although India is one of the largest cement markets in the world, its per capitaconsumption is only around 170 kg, much lower than the global average consumption of about 430kg. According to the latest report from the working group on the industry for the 12th five-year Pla(2012-17), India would require overall cement capacity of around 480 million Tonnes. This woulmean the industry will have to add another 150 million Tonnes of capacity during the period.Leading players in this sector (by market share) are Shree Cem, UltraTech, Ambuja, Binani, ACCIndia Cem, Dalmia Cem, Madras Cem, Lafarge, and OCL India.

    Factors that will drive growth in this sector Housing segment growth is leading to higher demand for cement for homebuilding. Governments 12th Five Year Plan focuses on increasing infrastructure (upgraded airportsports, railway expansion, etc.) to drive construction activity. Rise in commercial and retail spaces, along with hotels in near future, will account foincreased demand for cement.

    10

  • 7/28/2019 ACC Limited.final

    11/98

    Use of alternate fuels will help reduce low production costs and emissions and further drivethis sector. There is an increase in the sale of blended varieties of cement - Portland PozzolanaCement (PPC) and Portland Blast Furnace Slag Cement (PBFC)Road aheadThough cement is the most preferred construction material in both housing and industrial works, itdemand is directly linked to the development and growth of others industry domains, such a

    construction, infrastructure, finance, etc. The housing segment that accounts for a major portion odomestic demand for cement in India is expected to witness a demand of 4.3 million housing unitbetween 2010 and 2014. Government initiatives to boost infrastructure development and easetransportation costs should keep the demand for cement on a consistent rise. Furthermore, therare unexplored markets in the country, like the under-supplied North-east region, that are currentlyexperiencing increasing demand for cement.The cement industry is one of the vital industries for economic development in a country. The totautilization of cement in a year is used as an indicator of economic growth.

    Cement is a necessary constituent of infrastructure development and a key raw material for theconstruction industry, especially in the governments infrastructure development plans in thcontext of the nations socio-Economic development.

    SWOT ANALYSIS of Cement industry

    Strengths: -

    1. The industry is likely to maintain its growth momentum and continue growing at abou9 10% in the foreseeable future.2. Government initiative in the infrastructure sector such as the commencement of thesecond phase of the National Highway Development project, freight carriers, rural roads anddevelopment of the housing sector (Bharat Nirman Yojana) are likely to be the main drivers ogrowth.3. In the coming few years the demand for the cement will increase which will be boomingnews for cement manufactures. As capacity utilization is over 90% now.4. Huge potential for export.

    Weakness: -

    1. Cement Industry is highly fragmented & regionalized.

    11

  • 7/28/2019 ACC Limited.final

    12/98

    2. Low value commodity makes transportation over long distances un-economical.

    3. High capital cost and investment cost for each and every project.4. The complex Excise Duty structure based on the category of buyer and end use of the

    cement has caused a lot of confusion in the industry.5. The recent ban on export of cement clinker would increase the availability of cement in

    the domestic market, which in turn would put pressure on cement prices.

    Opportunities

    1. Substantially low per capita cement consumption as compared to developing countries

    (1/3rd of world average) Per capita cement consumption in India is 82 kgs against a

    global average of 255 kgs and Asian average of 200 kgs.

    2. Despite slightly lower economic growth, the construction and infrastructure sector iexpected to record healthy growth, which augurs well for cement industry.

    3. Additional capacity of 20 million tons per annum will be required to match the demand.

    Threats: -

    1. The recent moves by the Central Government in making the import of the cement totaduty free, is a cause of worry for the Indian cement industry.

    2. Further recent changes in the Central Excise Duty structure by way of introduction omultiple slabs of Excise Duty is also a cause of worry for the industry.

    3. Almost all the major players in the industry have announced substantial increase in the

    capacity and the possibility of oversupply situation cannot be ruled out.

    4. Increased railway freight, coal prices and dispatch bottlenecks on account of trucLoading restrictions imposed by various State Governments

    5. Scarcity of good quality Coal is some other factors which are cause of concern for theindustry.

    ECONOMIC OVERVIEWAgainst the backdrop of the Eurozone crisis, turmoil in West Asia and spike in crude prices, thefiscal year 2011-12 was a year of "recovery interrupted" for the Indian economy. India's GDPgrowth is estimated at 6.9% in 2011-12 - a sharp fall from 8.4% in the last year.

    While the estimated growth of 6.9% in the fiscal year 2011-12 can be considered reasonably

    12

  • 7/28/2019 ACC Limited.final

    13/98

    healthy in view of the adverse global developments mentioned above, it would be unwise toignore the fact that domestic factors like high inflation, depressed investment climate andunaddressed manufacturing bottlenecks also slowed down industrial activity. India's slowdown in2011-12 can be attributed almost entirely too weak industrial growth with the good performance ofthe services and agricultural sectors. In 2011-12 the growth is estimated to be 2.5% in agriculture3.9% in industry and 9.4% in services.

    INDUSTRIAL OUTPUT

    Industrial growth however witnessed a sharp fall to 4.1% in February 2012 as against 6.7%growth in the corresponding month of the previous fiscal. The disappointing growth was mainlydue to rather poor performance of the manufacturing sector especially consumer goods. As perthe revised IIP data, the industrial production grew only by a marginal 1.1% during the year underreview that too driven by the 4.1% growth in February 2012. The marginal uptrend in the growthtowards the end of the year was witnessed due to increase in the consumption of processedfoods in the food and beverages sector.

    EXPORTS / IMPORTS

    Owing to buoyant demand from diversified overseas markets, exports, according to provisionalfigures released by the Industry, Chemicals & Textiles Ministry, exceeded the targeted US$ 300billion for the fiscal year 2011-12. The sectors that posted impressive growth included

    engineering, gems & jewelry, textiles and pharmaceuticals.Imports during 2011-12 clocked a high of US$ 485 billion mainly on account of rising global oilprices with oil imports touching US$ 150 billion. The trade deficit widened to US$ 185 billion andthe Government faces a stiff challenge to keep it under control in the current fiscal.

    During the period April-December 2011, the Current Account Deficit (CAD) - an indication of thegap between foreign exchange inflows and outflows, surged to US$ 53.7 billion (4% of the GDP)from 3.30% of GDP in the same period last year - reflecting higher trade deficit on account ofimports of petrol, oil, lubricants, gold and silver.

    INFLATION

    Inflation which had raged at double digit levels over the last two years is now lower. The declinein inflation has provided some relief and the time is ripe therefore to boost investment in the

    economy. The Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council has opined that inflation would dropfurther and hover around 5% to 6% in the current fiscal 2012-13.

    INDUSTRY SCENARIO

    Demand for cement in the country improved during the current year under review, registering a6.60% growth better than 4.70% registered in the previous year. Given the long term nature ofbusiness and also since it takes, of late, 24-30 months to set up capacity, Industry createdcapacity much ahead of demand and this led to lower capacity utilization - more so in South,where substantial capacity came into play - Capacity utilization in South was 63% as against AllIndia Capacity utilization of 75%. It is expected that capacity utilization will improve steadily in linewith growth in demand in the coming years.

    Demand growth was healthy in regions where Infrastructure and Housing activities were brisk onthe back of progressive policy of State Government. Western region registered significant growthof 13.80% followed by North of 11%, Central of 9.30% and East of 2.90%. However, in Southernregion, growth was flat primarily due to lack of infra and housing projects in Andhra Pradesh andKarnataka.

    It is heartening to note that during January - March '12 quarter, demand has grown sharply at10% as opposed to 5.60% in the preceding 9 months. South has shown a remarkable growth of9.40% as compared to negative growth of 3% in the preceding three quarters.

    13

  • 7/28/2019 ACC Limited.final

    14/98

    Southern cement industry which has the highest capacity in the country, have been striving hardto access Northern & Eastern markets in the interest of improving the capacity utilization, but isconstrained due to Rail Rakes availability. Given that supply-demand imbalance in South isrelatively higher, it is expected that demand will catch up with supply by 2014-15.

    With a pronounced GDP growth of around 7.50% next year, the industry can expect a reasonablegrowth rate of 8% - 9% in the coming years which should enable the industry to operate ataround 80% of its capacity.

    In addition to the supply overhang, the industry had also to bear the substantial cost push in theform of increase in the price of coal, diesel price revision, increase in the Sales Tax on cement by2% in Tamil Nadu, heavy depreciation of Rupee against Dollar of more than 13% from Rs.45 toRs.51 impacting coal prices, revision in power tariff in Andhra Pradesh and continued power cutand load shedding in the States of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh necessitating usage of highcost DG and purchased power. In addition, the Union Budget 2012 proposes to increase theExcise Duty from 10% to 12% and steep increase in railway freight on inward and outwardmovement of materials ranging from 20% to 30% and a steep 35% increase in power tariff inTamil Nadu from 1/4/2012. Given all these adverse factors your Company's main challengeduring the year under review was to manage volumes and cost of production on the one handand optimize selling prices on the other to improve the bottom line.

    The overall production was impacted due to the negative / practically nil growth in the marketsserved by the Company's plants. The Andhra Pradesh markets witnessed a further drop ofaround 8% in demand over and above the 17% negative growth recorded in the previous yearand with the bunch of new capacities arising in that region, the severe competition for marketspace resulted in the lower capacity utilization of the Andhra Pradesh plants including that of yourCompany. Towards the end of the year the power scenario further worsened in both Tamil Naduand Andhra Pradesh resulting in power holidays besides zero power during peak hours whichcurtailed the availability of clinker despite higher generation through captive power sets. Thesituation is likely to improve as the 48 MW power plant at Sankarnagar has since beencommissioned and is expected to go on full stream during the financial year 2012-13. Towardsthe close of the financial year your Company has commissioned railway sidings at its two

    grinding units at Chennai and Parli and the consequent reduction in the transportation cost ofclinker by rail (instead of road as hitherto) will have its full impact during FY 13. The depreciationin the value of Rupee and increase in the ocean freights coupled with the volatility in the FOBprice of imported coal resulted in higher cost of fuel. The expanded capacity of ChilamakurCement Plant and the second line at Malkapur has stabilized and it is expected that the overalloperating efficiencies would improve further with the stabilized run of these plants.

    ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND COST REDUCTION

    Despite the lower capacity utilization caused by lower demand in the market, sustained effortsmade by your company resulted in marginal reduction in power consumption per Ton of cemenand maintaining the fuel consumption/ Ton of clinker on par with the previous year. The everincreasing cost of fuel and increase in power tariff by State Electricity Boards imposed additional

    burden which could however be controlled through fuller utilization of the power from theCompany's gas based power plant at Ramanathapuram and also from the low cost power availedfrom Andhra Pradesh Gas Power Corporation Limited (APGPCL) in Andhra Pradesh. TheCompany also utilized the wind power generated by its wind farms of a total of 279 Lakh Units(315 Lakh units) and power from its Waste Heat Recovery System at Vishnupuram whichaccounted for 539 Lakh units (475 Lakh units). Towards the end of the last quarter theCompany's captive power plant of 48 MW at Sankarnagar has been commissioned.

    DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

    During the year, your Company obtained ISO 9001 certification for quality assurance for itsSankari Plant in addition to its already certified plants at Sankarnagar, Dalavoi, Chilamakur andVishnupuram. The ISO certification for its Yerraguntla Cement Plant is in progress.

    Your Company has also implemented Total Productive Management (TPM) for productivityimprovement in its plants at Sankarnagar, Dalavoi, Chilamakur, Yerraguntla, Vishnupuram and

    Malkapur.CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISM (CDM)

    Waste Heat Recovery System at Vishnupuram continues to earn certified emission reductions asa CDM project.

    OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS, RISKS AND CONCERNS

    The demand supply mismatch arising out of burst of new capacity additions (and not majorly outof lack of normal demand growth) has constricted the capacity utilization levels of the industry forthe last two years in particular. Given the resilient nature of the economy, India has been able toachieve reasonable GDP growth of 6.9% in FY 12 which is expected to increase to 7.5% to 8% inFY 13 is expected to translate into a demand growth of 8% to 10% over the next few years. Whiledemand for cement grew by 6.6% in FY 12, there are already encouraging signs of a pick-up in

    demand with demand spurting by over 10% in the last quarter of FY 12. It is therefore expectedcapacity utilization to gradually increase over the next 3 years with parity between supply anddemand being restored by then. While this being the overall scenario, there are still pockets ofhigh demand growth in certain regions of the country and your Company is already movingsignificant quantities of cement to the Eastern markets as far as Assam & Nepal to optimizecapacity utilization, given the overall surplus. Your Company's attempts in the short run will betowards striking an optimum balance between volumes and profitability and achieve best results.

    The availability of power from the State Electricity Boards is another area of concern with acuteshortages in power availability in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Your Company has alreadyaddressed this concern by putting a 48 MW thermal power plant at Sankarnagar to take care ofthe full requirements of power of all the cement plants and grinding unit in Tamil Nadu and this

    power plant has been commissioned towards the end of FY 12 and has started supplying power.Work has already been commenced on the installation of 48 MW thermal power plant atVishnupuram which is expected to be commissioned towards the end of FY 13 and will thereafterfully meet the power requirements of the cement plants in Andhra Pradesh. With its share ofpower available from the gas based power plants of APGPCL and Coromandel Electric CompanyLimited, Company's own windmills, diesel generating sets, waste heat recovery system aVishnupuram, the Company has ensured that it will be fully self-sufficient in meeting its powerrequirements.

    Availability of indigenous coal from the nationalized coal companies and the quality of supplies isanother area of concern. This problem has however been mitigated to a large extent due to thecoal linkages obtained during the last two years to cater to the requirements of the recent

    capacity expansions in Andhra Pradesh. The Company imports coal to meet its cement plantsrequirements thereby adequately addressing the quantity, quality and cost aspects. Mining rightsobtained in Indonesia should fructify with infrastructure of roads and bridges under completion toensure timely coal supplies.

    The ever rising cost of energy in the form of petroleum products will also have its impact on thepower and transportation costs, which it is hoped to be neutralized by increasing the sellingprices.

    OUTLOOK

    The Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council (PMEAC) has projected a 7.5% to 8% growthfor the fiscal year 2012-13.

    Economic experts are banking on the domestic market to sustain growth through a Governmentled initiative to boost private sector infrastructure investments. With industrial growth exhibitingsigns of a revival and given the Government's intention to boost agriculture development and givea fillip to infrastructural growth, the clocking of a GDP growth of 7.5% in 2012-13 could well be

    achievable.Both the Central and State Governments have plans to boost investments in housing for thelower income groups which could help drive cement demand together with proposed investmentson roads and other infrastructural projects. The recent proposals of the Reserve Bank of India inits Credit Policy to reduce Repo and Reverse Repo rates by 50 basis points is expected to softenhousing loan interest rates thereby giving a fillip to demand for housing for the middle incomesector. Given all these positive factors, it is reasonably expected an 8% to 10% annual growth incement demand over the next few years and an early restoration of parity between cementdemand and supply which should augur well for the cement industry.

    Technical Analysis

    A crossoveris the most basic type of signal and is favored among many traders because iremoves all emotion. The most basic type of crossover is when the price of an asset moves fromone side of a moving average and closes on the other. Price crossovers are used by traders toidentify shifts in momentum and can be used as a basic entry or exit strategy. A cross below amoving average can signal the beginning of a downtrend and would likely be used by traders as asignal to close out any existing long positions. Conversely, a close above a moving average frombelow may suggest the beginning of a new uptrend.

    The second type of crossover occurs when a short-term average crosses through a long-termaverage. This signal is used by traders to identify that momentum is shifting in one direction andthat a strong move is likely approaching. A buy signal is generated when the short-term averagecrosses above the long-term average, while a sell signal is triggered by a short-term averagecrossing below a long-term average.

    cost. Company use the local transporters which provide the efficient transportation cost. Thereb

    reducing the extra expense and making cement more economical for the local man to afford.

    Plantation:

    Ultra techs manufacturing plant uses ultra-modern technology and imported machinery

    Companys Unit at Koala is the only Unit in this sector in India to have a desalination plant. It isused for meeting the water needs of the plant and the colony. The waste gases from the cooler are

    used in the desalination plant. That makes the product recyclable and environmental friendl

    Clinker, Asbestos and Cement Products for the years 2000, 2002 and2003. Bhartiya Udyog Ratan

    Award presented to Sh. KYP Kulkarni by Indian Economic Development & Research Association

    (IEDRA) for good quality of cement to customer, New Delhi in 2004. (Narayanan, 2007)

    WEAKNESSESS:

    Cement Industry is highly fragmented and it is also highly regionalized and Low value commodit

    makes transportation over long distances uneconomical.

    Not available in all the places: Ultra tech is not available at all the places as it is not manufactured

    at all places and all plants are not available everywhere due to which people cannot find i

    everywhere hence the profit margins are affected to a greater extend.

    Human Resource:

    Due to openness in the Ultra techs work culture which is very informal that does not suit for bettemanagement in corporate. The environment being very informal affects the management a lot as

    being the management they have to maintain a distance and discipline but due to the openness

    there is no such thing and they face a lot difficulty to control. And Ultra tech has insufficient man

    power due to its easy recruiting and selection method.

    Marketing:

    Lack of awareness program for consumers due to low promotion mix: the company faces the

    problem of proper promotion due to which the customers doesnt know much about the produc

    resulting into less sales of the product instead of being a good product.

    Lack of marketing mix: the company suffers with the problem of proper marketing mix which i

    return results into the whole confusion state and the product does not reach to the customer

    properly and in fact a lot of them dont know about it also.

    Delay in supply: the company being situated in the outer parts of the city and its plant not being

    located in every city causes delay in the supply of the product. (Porter, 1988)

    Health:

    Highly dusty environment at the time of dumping the cement is hazardous for health.

    It affects humans respiratory system adversely. Ultra tech is therefore not contributing to societ

    as its corporate social responsibility remains unfulfilled due to many hazards.Others:

    Cement industry is highly fragmented and regionalized as Low value commodity makes. A

    transportation over long distances is uneconomical for value sector, so cost of transporting cemen

    is high and this keeps cement from being profitable over long distances. In other talks, shipping

    cement costs more than the profit from selling it.

    OPPORTUNITIES:

    41

  • 7/28/2019 ACC Limited.final

    42/98

    With the low per capita consumption of cement in India 102 kg compared to the global average o

    260 kg and the emphasis on infrastructure development, Ultra tech has ample opportunity to ride

    the growth curve. UltraTech can develop new marketing area. It can sign MOUs (memorandum o

    understanding) with government regarding supply of cement for government work. UltraTech ca

    also maintain the position of competition in the market. Institutional market like corporate and

    offices, school society complexes are growing in large scale, which will increase the requirement

    People are opting for more stable structures and good future, so large use of cement is taking

    place, so government is spending heavily on infrastructure project as Indian industry base is

    growing rapidly Thus, this is the right time to fully invest in these market. There is regular demand

    of cement which in turn will increase foreign investment in this sector. As roads transformatio

    process is going on through which the traditional method of road building will be convert by modern

    concrete roads. Substantially lower per capita cement consumption as compared to developing

    countries (1/3 rd of world average) Per capita cement consumption in India is 82 kgs against a

    global average of 255 kgs and Asian average of 200 kgs. For green field capacity 20 million ton

    per annum will be required to match the demand in pipeline for other two years leading tofavorable demand supply scenario.

    THREATS:

    As huge cement industry emerge there is more competition for ACC (Associated Cemen

    Companies) to carefully enhance its price, product and at the same time satisfy its dealers and

    customers. Cheap priced brand are capturing like a mushroom to lower income customer base

    Players such as Jaypee Cement, Prism Cement, and Birla cement. ACC cement are eating up

    considerable market share. Due to India satisfy growth many new international cement companies

    are expected in coming years which will bring enormous change and can start price wa

    Government intervention to adjust cement prices Transportation cost is upgrading. Due to loadinrestriction there is overloading industrialist shows increase in costs due to the shortage in coa

    industry.

    Many retailers are influence by better profit margin, and other Benefits because of small industries

    increase competition among them, which in turn give heavy discount to customer and star

    malpractices.

    Timber is also being considered as one of the substitutes of cement, which is cheap and long

    lasting. Due to continuous attack of earthquake, many countries like Japan, Indonesia, an

    Singapore etc. are now using timber in construction since those areas are high earthquakeaffected.
