    Indian cement industry:

    The Indian cement industry with a total capacity of about 200 m tonnes (MT) in FY09 isthe second largest market after China. Although consolidation has taken place in the

    Indian cement industry with the top five players controlling almost 60% of the capacity,the balance capacity still remains pretty fragmented.

    Despite the fact that the Indian cement industry has clocked production of more than 100MT for the last five years, registering a growth of nearly 9% to 10%, the per capitaconsumption of around 134 kgs compares poorly with the world average of over 263 kgs,and more than 950 kgs in China. This, more than anything, underlines the tremendousscope for growth in the Indian cement industry in the long term.

    Nature of Indian cement industry:

    Fragmented: The Indian cement industry has been characterized by a high degree offragmentation. Currently the number of players in the domestic industry is over 50. Thetop 5 companies contribute about 50 per cent of the total domestic capacity, while theremaining is distributed among the 50 odd

    Cyclical: Cement industry is highly cyclical in nature and depends largely on theeconomic health of the country. There is a high degree of correlation between the GDPgrowth and the growth in cement consumption. This can be gauged by the fact that afterexperiencing robust growth from 1994 to 1996, the sector was one of the worst affecteddue to economic slowdown during 1997 to 1999. The industry registered an impressivegrowth of 15 per cent during the 1999-2000 which was mainly due to demand from

    housing sector which accounts for 60 per cent of cement consumption, the rest accountedequally between infrastructure and industry/others.

    Standardized Technology: Cement manufacturing is a standardized and simple process,which does not offer any technological advantage to specific players. The industry ischaracterized by matured and stable technology with only minor improvements takingplace over the years. The financial viability / profitability of a unit depends on operationalefficiency (both manufacturing and marketing apart from general demand supply situation

    in the region. Any innovations in the manufacturing process can be easily diffused acrossthe industry. Thus access to the latest technology is not an entry barrier for anyoneentering the sector

    Localized operations: Given the bulky nature of the pro duct and the resultant highfreight costs, it is economical to sell in a small radius of the plant location and transportingcement beyond 250 km is economically unviable. Regional supply imbalances affect therealization and margins of individual plants. Uneven capacity expansions have intensifiedthese imbalances in the industry. Significant capacity addition in northern / central andwestern India resulted in an over supply problem during past couple of years. South,which was hitherto a fairly insulated region, has started facing the problem of oversupply

    because of new capacities installed in the region over the last two years.

    Insulated from import threat: The international trade in cement is very limited and onlybetween the neighboring countries due to the bulky nature of cement The domesticindustry is relatively insulated from import threat, mainly on account of the freight ratesinvolved in transporting cement. The countries that export their produce to India areamongst the cement surplus countries having an access to the seas. These include mainlythe East Asian countries. The countries where Indian companies like Gujarat AmbujaCements Ltd export their product are located near Indian shores and these includeBangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka UAE and Mauritius

    Given the high potential for growth, quite a few foreign transnationals have been eyeingthe Indian markets and are planning to acquire domestic companies. Already, whilecompanies like Lafarge, Heidelberg and Italicementi have made a couple of acquisitions,Holcim has acquired stake in domestic companies Ambuja Cements and ACC and hasincreased its stake gradually to gain full control. After acquiring stake in big companies,transnationals eyed median capacity producers. Italcementi acquired 100% stake in ZuariCement and 95% stake in Shree Vishnu. Cimpor, the Portugese cement manufacturer,acquired Grasims stake (53.63%) in Shree Dig Vijay. However, it must be noted that thetransnationals will find the going tough since cement is a game of volumes and with themedian capacity of fragmented players, the transnationals will have to acquire capacitiespiecemeal and this route is fraught with a lot of uncertainties. The global players puttogether account of quarter share of the domestic market. Further, turning around few ofthe companies at a time when the cycle is at its peak would be a difficult task.Considering the long term growth story, fair valuations, fragmented structure of theindustry and low gearing, an another wave of consolidation would not come as a surprise.

    Consolidation strategy

    Established in 1986

    In 1995, GACL floated a wholly owned subsidiary in Mauritius CementAmbuja International Ltd. (CAIL).

    A year later, GACL floated another subsidiary, Ceylon Ambuja Cements (Private)Ltd.,

    In 1997, GACL acquired Modi Cements sick 1.4 mtpa plant at Raipur (MadhyaPradesh) for Rs 1.66 billion. This plant was renamed Ambuja Cement EasternLtd.

    In 1998, GACL acquired the Nadikudi and Proddatur limestone mines in Andhra

    Pradesh In December 1999, GACL acquired a 51% stake in Delhi based DLF Cement for

    Rs 3.5 billion. In the same month, GACL also acquired a 7.2% stake in Associated Cement

    Companies (ACC) 2001 Private equity investors (American International Group and Government

    of Singapore) invested in ACIL 2005 ACIL restructured as a joint venture with Holcim ACL is a Holcim Group

    company since May 2006

    Gains for Holchim

    Holcim gains access to the second-largest cement consuming market in the

    world

    Holcim, the Swiss giant, is the largest supplier of cement, aggregates, and RMC in theworld, with a presence in 70 countries and an equal mix in matured as well as emergingmarkets. Holcims capacity is around 156 metric tonne (mt), equal to the size of theIndian cement market. The company has grown to its current size through inorganicgrowth driven by aggressive acquisitions.

    access to export markets of Middle East

    Holcim has a strong presence in the more mature European and American markets,whereas Asia- Pacific is more of an emerging market. Therefore, this acquisition wouldamount to an increase in capacity in the Asia-Pacific region, which is witnessing hugedemand. The acquisition of GACL also provides Holcim with access to exports marketsin the Middle East, where until now it lacked significant presence.

    GACLs strong operating efficiencies to boost Holcims financial profile

    Along with being the third-largest player in the Indian cement industry, GACL enjoyssuperior operating efficiencies and a strong credit profile, which would reflect inHolcims financial profile.

    Holcim, the last entrant into the Indian market, becomes the market leader

    Holcims foray into the Indian market happened in January 2005 when it entered into astrategic alliance with Gujarat Ambuja and acquired a stake of 67 per cent in ACIL (theholding company of Ambujas), while GACL held on to the remaining stake. Through thisstrategic alliance, Holcim acquired a 34.57 per cent stake in ACC and 97 per cent inACEL. The total investment was $800 million.Thus, in a period of one year, Holcim has invested up to $2 billion in the Indian cementindustry.

    The aggressive acquisition strategy has put Holcim way ahead of other multinationalcompanies (MNCs) who have had a presence in India much before Holcims entry. Itnow becomes the largest player in the Indian cement industry with a pan-India presence,a high market-share of 23 per cent (GACL-ACC-ACEL group), and a total capacity of 33million tonnes (higher than the Grasim- Ultratech group).

    Production:

    2004-2005:

    The production figures include production from the Rabriyawas plant (erstwhileAmbuja Cement Rajasthan Limited) ACRL for one month since ACRL wasmerged into company effective 1st June 2004

    2005-06:

    Looking at the growth in the Himachal Pradesh market, a cement mill of thecapacity of 80 TPH was installed at Darlaghat. The commercial production of thiscement mill had commenced in the month of February 2005. As a result, the

    installed capacity of the Darlaghat went up from 1.16 million tonnes, to 1.60million tonnes.

    2005-06:

    The company expanded its clinker capacity by 4.5 million tonnes, cementcapacity by 6 million tonnes and power generation capacity by 178 MW atdifferent locations with total investment of Rs.3350 crores.

    2007:

    This growth was achieved despite serious setback in production unit atAmbujanagar which was affected by unprecedented floods in August

    September 2007. The higher cement production was due to higher blending ratioin 2007, as well as the commissioning of the new grinding facilities.

    2008:

    Total cement production increased by 5%, from 16.9 to 17.8 million tonnes. Theincrease was mainly as a result of a full years production at Farakka and Roorkeefacilities which started in mid 2007, and commencement of grinding at Suratterminal in early 2008.

    Hectic construction activity in the Middle East continued to fuel a rise in cementdemand in the international markets. As a result, export prices rose by about 29%this year.

    Export volumes during the year were marginally higher at 17.55 lakh tonnes, asagainst 17.25 lakh tonnes in the previous year.

    In spite of marginal volume growth, exports in value terms shot up to Rs.279.59crore, as against Rs.226.57 crore in the previous year. This was due to asubstantial increase in export prices.

    2006-2007:

    Total sales that Rs.4847.86 crore as against Rs.3296.42 crore in the previous year.Cement sales including exports stood at 16.3 million tonnes as against 14.6million tonnes in 2005, registering a growth of 11.6%.

    Export volumes went up by an impressive 28.6% to 1.8 million tonnes in 2006from 1.4 million tonnes in 2005.Revenue from exports were Rs.383.74 crore compared with Rs.259.61 crore in2005, an increase of 48%.

    The company received a setback at the Gujarat plant when floods disruptedproduction for almost two months. However, company did a commendable job inretaining strong presence in the region at 20%.

    The company could achieve increased volumes by resorting to purchase of clinkerfrom outside, diverting cement from exports to the domestic markets andincreasing the blending ratio.

    In view of the good domestic demand and improved realization, coupled withdepreciation of the US Dollar, the company gradually reduced its export volumeduring the year.Total exports for the year stood at 1.3 million tonnes as against 1.8 million tonnesfor 2006 - down by 28%. In 2008, our revenue from exports was Rs.277.5 croreas compared to Rs 383.7 crore in 2006.

    While in the first half of 2008, the government introduced a ban on exports andencouraged imports from Pakistan, in the second half the realty boom suddenlyturned to bust. With the global economy coming to a crunching halt, funds formajor housing, commercial and infrastructure projects practically dried up.

    To revive demand in the real estate sector, the government introduced a slew of

    monetary and fiscal measures. In December, the excise duties on cement wasreduced by 4% and on clinker by Rs.150 per tonne, and countervailing dutieswere re-imposed on imported cement.

    The export ban was also fully lifted.

    Interest rates were lowered in a bid to boost residential housing demand.

    Expenses:

    2003-2004 The cost of coal went over by 8 % over the previous year.The reasons being steep

    increase in international coal prices.The indigenous coal prices were increased by 16 % in June 2004.

    The total power costs came down by 6 % because of the captive power plants.

    The average freight costs of the company went up by 8 % over the previous yearbecause of the increase in diesel prices by an aggregate of 17 % during the year.

    Interest costs came down by 11 % over the previous year because of the highinterest cost loans and debt instruments were either swapped by low interestinstruments or redeemed out of surplus cash accruals.

    2004-2005 The cost of limestone and gypsum went up by 13 % and 7 % respectively.

    Indigenous coal prices went up by 23 % over the previous year.The landed cost of imported coal went up by 50%.

    Due to increase fuel cost the cost variable cost of power generation has gone upby 20%

    Freight rates went up by 5 % over the previous year.

    2005-2006 The Supreme Court of India delivered a judgment in November 2005 banning

    overloading of trucks across the country. Suddenly, the availability of trucksbecame a serious constraint. The road freight rates arising out of this decision ofthe Supreme Court went up by a whopping 40% during 2006.

    Significant increases were at Ambujanagar and Sankrail where the powergeneration is based on liquid fuel. This increase is because of a surge in the priceof furnace oil. At Ambujanagar the power cost went up by 32%. The power costat Sankrail has gone up 26%.

    2007 Overall average cost of coal went up by 12% over 2006. Average landed cost of

    domestic coal in 2007 was up by 2%.This is primarily due to increase in royalty in

    August 2007 by an average of 15-25%, a hike in pithead prices of all the gradesby 10-15% by Coal India towards the end of 2007, and minimum chargeablefreight imposed by the Railways. Average landed cost of imported coal was - upby 33%.The Ministry of Coal has reduced coal linkages to cement companies, therebyforcing cement companies to source coal from e-auctions at high rates at aminimum 30% higher than the notified price applicable on coal linkages

    Average cost of power generation (grid & captive) was Rs 2.88 per unit - up by4%. While cost of grid power went up by 2%, cost of power generation, throughCPP, was at Rs 2.68 per unit - up by 5%. This was primarily due to increase in thecost of coal

    2008 The cost of imported coal, representing approximately 30% of the total

    requirement, further increased in the first half of 2008, having already gone upsubstantially in the second half of 2007. The average landed cost in 2008 (for bothkiln and captive power) was 50% higher than in 2007.The cost of domestic coal also increased, as linkage supplies became unreliable,necessitating higher procurement of market / e-auction coal at a substantialpremium to the linkage prices.Deterioration in the quality of domestic coal supplied continues to be an issue,and this has impacted the fuel consumption figures at certain plants.

    As a result of the increase in coal cost during the year, the cost of captive

    generation increased by about 20% Power consumption was slightly higher in 2008, at 86.4 kWh per tonne of cement,

    compared to 84.6 kWh in 2007. Requirements were higher mainly at theBhatapara and Ambujanagar plants, due to certain inefficiencies in the grindingprocesses

    Freight and Forwarding costs increased by 12% in absolute terms, and 7% on aper tonne sold basis. The major reasons were: a shift from export to domesticsales partly due to the export ban in mid year, and a hike in fuel prices earlier inthe year when global oil prices were dramatically increasing. These increaseswere rolled back towards the end of the year, but too late to have any real impactin 2008.

    Corporate Social Responsibility

    (2003-04):

    Empowering Communities

    Gujarat Ambuja wanted to create rural development models that would be sustainableand replicable. Models that would involve the active participation of the people. To focuson this task the Ambuja Cement Foundation was formed by a handful of people. Theirfirst task was to provide water for the people. This could be done by teaching peopleabout water harvesting. Because of the peoples dedication many of the surroundingvillages started using these water harvesting models. In 10 years they have replicatedwater harvesting, health care, education and women development tools in about 500villages across their plants and grinding facilities in different parts of the country.

    Developing and implementing programmes for Women development:

    With funding help from NABARD and ACF they are encouraging women to set up SelfHelp Groups (SHG). They provide them with the technical assistance and marketingskills required to produce washing soaps, detergents and other provisions for the localmarket. Today there 155 SHGs involving about 2000 people who pool their savings andhelp them for their various business ventures. One such group has formed a milk co-operative and bought its own chilling plant. Even the district officer has come forward insupporting this milk co-operative.

    Ambuja Cement Foundation:

    Recognized as a powerful tool of change, because of their dedicated efforts in ruraldevelopment the ACF has been given the Corporate Social Responsibility Award byBUSINESS WORLD FICCI SEDF. When the 2001 Gujarat earthquake took placemany people were homeless and jobless. The technical people of ACF helped them totrain these people in doing masonry work. This team had trained 1000 workers in ruralparts of Kutch and Gujarat. Impressed by these efforts CARE India and SEWA haveadopted these skills to train people to do masonry work.

    2004-2005

    Not just working for the people, but working with them:

    The ACF team added another initiative to their agenda. The area around our Gujarat plant

    suffers from heavy ingress of salinity into drinking water and in the soil. To preventsalinity, a unique technique has been adopted to de link fresh water and saline water bycementing the bottom of the wells and recharging the fresh water streams. This hashelped substantially improve the availability and quality of drinking water. And theimprovement in the agricultural productivity has led to improved economic conditions inthe area.

    Contribution to rural healthcare

    The villages had to have their own healthcare workers. Ambuja decided to help create the

    capabilities. After a careful selection of interested women - termed tais - and intensivetraining programmes every few months and continuous monitoring, these tais haveproved to be the ideal solution for immediate primary diagnosis and first-aid treatment inthe villages. Besides attending to cases of burns, injury, infant and child pneumonia,diarrhea, antenatal care, hypertension, etc. our tais have been responsible for curtailingepidemics of cholera and malaria, when other villages in the vicinity have fallen prey tothem. Today, these women are also recognised by our District Health Officials for alltheir preventive work.

    Fighting AIDS with a truly powerful tool:

    Ambuja conducted hundreds of exhibitions, street plays, meetings and discussions, STIclinics, group and one-to-one counseling sessions, condom demonstrations, rallies and programmes. Our efforts equipped the truckers (darlaghat) and communities withnecessary information about prevention and treatment. These positive experiences duringthe pilot phase gave them the confidence to sign an HIV/AIDS mission in August 2004.

    2005-2006

    Rehabilitation of mines

    Used up mines in Gujarat have been converted into a network of reservoirs. With largescale reforestation and horticulture, these areas have transformed into scenic picnic spotsand a habitat for different bird species. A number of check dams and check filters have been constructed in mining and surrounding areas for water quality management. Inaddition to this, trees have been planted in the check dams and check filters areas to arrestsoil erosion

    Developing natural resources

    In Junagadh District of Gujarat the ground water was nearing depletion and the livelihoodof the farming community was critically affected by salinity ingress. Extensive andinnovative water harvesting programmes by the Foundation have resulted in increasingthe water table and helping fight salinity. ACF has embarked on a major project toconnect water bodies with link canals.

    2007

    Alternate livelihoods: Skill enhancement for a brighter future

    Through intensive training programmes, ambuja has introduced farmers to bettertechnologies and cropping techniques, increasing their yield in agro-based livelihoods.

    Expansion into alternative livelihood options meant sustained incomes for the families,which in turn directly influenced the standard of living of the family. Moreover, asagriculture is a seasonal activity, it is easily possible for a family to engage in an alternateoccupation during the lean months.

    Village self-reliance: New inroads into community health

    Ambujas efforts in training and empowering tais, or village health functionaries, are animportant part of their inroads into community health. They have been consistentlyproviding primary health care to the villagers. They have increased their responsibilities

    to include pre-natal care and the care of new born infants. Their active monitoring ofnew-born infants and the expectant mothers has helped in bringing down the infantmortality rate in the villages. They continue to provide medical help to the villagers referserious cases to hospitals, assist the mobile dispensary operated by the company duringits regular visits and conduct sessions in their own communities on preventive healtheducation.
