Indian Cement Industry Roundup

Prism Johnson Limited

Cement Business Pulls Down Overall Performance

Prism Johnson’s Q2FY19 results were below market estimates, with EBITDA coming in at Rs.803 Million (market est: Rs.1,107Million) and OPM at 6% (market estimate: 8.7%) due to the disappointing performance of the cement business (EBITDA/t declined Rs.439 QoQ).
Cement sales volumes were up 20% YoY at 1.35 Million Tonnes. Cement realization was up 10.6% YoY (down 0.6% QoQ). Operating expenses per Tonne was up 6.5% YoY; however, higher realization/cement sales volumes led to a 3.3 pp YoY improvement in OPM. EBITDA/tonne was at Rs.550, up 49.8% YoY.
Poor perfrmance was due to higher operating expenses in the cement segment which was the bane of all cement companies who have so far posted their results barring a few.

Dalmia Cements Excels

Dalmia Bharat Posts Q2 Results

India’s fourth largest cement manufacturer, Dalmia Cements posted Q2FY19 results that resonated with other industry majors. Double-digit volume growth drove cement sales, but profits took a beating as the increase in operating costs downed margins.
Q2 revenue rose 13% YoY to Rs.2,158 crore. The company sold 4.5 MMT of cement during the 2nd quarter, a volume growth of 13%. Strong demand across its key operating markets ie.,east and south drove cement volume growth in Q2.

EBITDA margin declined 330 bps YoY as the sector is facing challenging times on the cost front. Power and fuel costs as well as freight expenses have witnessed a sharp rise in the last 12 months. Despite stable realisation, EBITDA per tonne dipped to Rs. 944 as unitary cost increased 4 %percent QoQ. Operational performance was significantly better than UltraTech Cement, ACC and Ambuja Cements. EBITDA per tonne continues to be much ahead of its peers.

Amalgamation with Orrisa Cement (now OCL India) is complete. The company plans to list OCL in Q3 FY19 and expects the combined merged entity to be listed in early Q4 through a share swap agreement. The company has also completed acquisition of Kalyanpur Cements (1.1 MPTA) and the subsidiary has been renamed DDSPL. The management has been able to revive clinker production from this plant over five months and aims to start commercial operations from November. The company is still awaiting the National Company Law Tribunal and Supreme Court’s final decision on Murli Industries and Binani Cement, respectively.

Demand for cement has been fairly strong in H1 FY19. However, pricing power remains elusive as industry leaders prefer to chase volumes. Prices as well as demand should remain stable in the run-up to general and state elections.

M.P.Birla Group

Birla Corp Posts Q2 Results

For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, Birla Corp reported a near 55 % dip in standalone net profit to Rs.2.00 crore, against Rs.4.40 crore in the year-ago-period. Total income during the period stood at Rs.999 crore. On a consolidated basis, the company’s net profit increased manifold to over Rs.16 crore in Q2 FY19 (Rs.1.46 crore). Net income saw a 19 % jump YoY to Rs.1,485 crore. Cement production during the quarter stood at 30.97 lakh tonnes, compared to 26.84 lakh tonnes in the year-ago-period. Cement sales for the period stood at 30.68 lakh tonnes.

The second phase capacity expansion at the Kundanganj unit of the company (at Uttar Pradesh) will be carried out. A third production line, with an annual capacity of 1.2 MPTA, will be installed at an expected investment of Rs.250 crore. The Kundanganj unit’s current capacity is 2 MPTA.

Ramco Cements Posts Good Results

Ramco’s Q2 results were better than estimates, with EBITDA coming in at Rs.2.47 bn vs. market estimates of Rs.2.06 bn and OPM at 20.9% vs. market estimates of 18.2% on higher-than-estimated realization.
Volume grew 14.7 % YoY to 2.47 MT. Realization was down 3.5 % YoY. Lower realization and higher operating expenses led to a 667 bps YoY contraction in OPM to 20.9%.
Ramco Cements' is planning to increase grinding capacity by 3.1 MT and clinker capacity by 1.5 MT in the coming year. These capacities should help target sales volume growth in Andhra Pradesh (coastal districts), Odisha, Jharkhand, and West Bengal.

Atibal Gold Cement

Aditi Industries

Atibal Gold Portland Pozzolana Cement

Atibal Gold Cement is produced by Aditi Industries and their offices are located in the capital of Assam, Guwahati. Their cement plant is located in the Nagaon District of Assam.

Aditi Industries produces just one grade of cement - Atibal Gold Portland Pozzolana Cement. This is Portland Cement blended with Pozzolanic materials (Fly Ash obtained from power or thermal stations, burnt clays, ash from burnt plant material or silicious earths), either together or separately. Portland clinker is ground with Gypsum and Pozzolanic materials which, though devoid of cementing properties themselves, combine chemically with Portland Cement in the presence of water to form extra strong cementing material which resists wet cracking, thermal cracking and has a high degree of cohesion and work-ability in concrete and mortar.

Clinker, the raw material for the plant is sourced from the cement plants of Meghalaya located at a distance of about 340 Kilometers. Clinker is delivered at the plant in Hatigaon by trucks from Lumshnong, Meghalaya and unloaded at the covered Clinker Stockpile Yard. Clinker is received via rake loads and unloaded in the railway siding at Amoni, Assam. 

Fly ash is received in bags via rake loads on rail from the nearest Thermal Power plants. This will be stored in the covered fly ash storage bins. Similarly, Gypsum which will be moved by road from Bhutan and will also be stored in a covered Gypsum storage yard. 

Clinker, fly ash and gypsum from their respective storage will be transported by a network of belt conveyors and will be fed to their respective Cement Mill Hoppers located in the Hopper building. Cement manufactured will be stored in the silo will be extracted by the air slides and into the packing plant hopper. Cement thus transferred to the Packing Plant Hopper will be packed in 50 Kilogram bags by spout packers and will be transported by a network of belt conveyors to the trucks placed in the dock for loading and dispatched to the markets.

Ambuja Cements

Ambuja Cements Posts Poor Results

Ambuja Cements posted Q3 results that were below market estimates with EBITDA at Rs.3.6 bn vs. estimates of Rs.4.4 bn and OPM at 13.7 % vs. industry expectations of 17.5 %.

Operating expense per tonne increased 9.9 % QoQ and EBITDA/Tonne was Rs.656 vs. again below market and industry expectations.

Sales volumes were 5.46 Million Tonnes, up 8.5% YoY.

Cement capacity utilization was at 74 % as against 68 % in Q3CY17.

Realization was up 2.1 % YoY.

EBITDA/Tonne was Rs.656 as against Rs.691/ Rs977 in Q3CY17/ Q2CY18.

Operating expense per tonne was up 3.4 % YoY, mainly because of higher energy (higher coal prices) costs, freight costs (increase in diesel prices) and other expenses (higher packaging costs and maintenance expenses).
Most of these factors were on account of the falling Rupee, higher international crude oil prices and higher domestic diesel prices.
Overall ACC seems to have performed better than Ambuja Cements. Both companies are part of the global building materials giant, LafargeHolcim.

Cement Industry And Cement Prices

Cement Industry In India And Cement Prices

India is the world’s 2nd largest cement market, both in terms of production and consumption. The Indian cement industry has a total of 575 operational cement plants in the country. As of January 2018 the cement industry had a total installed capacity was 460 MTPA (Million Tonnes Per Annum). The Indian cement industry is expected to reach 550-600 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) by the year 2025.

The Indian cement industry is unique in that it is dominated by a few companies.
The top 20 cement companies account for almost 70 % of the total cement production of the country. A total of 210 large cement plants account for a cumulative installed capacity of over 350 million tonnes, with 365 smaller cement plants accounting for the balance capacity. Of these 210 large cement plants, the lion's share 77 are located in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu.

Approximately 67 % of the cement consumption can be attributed to the housing sector in India, 13 % to the infrastructure sector, 11 % to the commercial construction sector and the rest to the industrial construction sector.

Currently the Indian cement industry has surplus capacity and this situation is only going to become worse given the expansion plans of cement majors. Currently supply far outstrips demand and this can only put pressure on cement prices.

 Only <70% of the total installed capacity is being currently utilized. The balance 30% installed capacity is lying idle.

In the year 2018 alone rising value of the dollar has put cost pressure on cement companies as a major raw material pet coke is being currently imported. The rising price of crude has also put cost pressure on cement companies because of its impact on fuel and logistics costs, for both raw material movement and finished product movement. According to Indian cement industry insiders, at the end of 2018-beginning of 2019, we can expect an impact of Rs.25-30 per bag of cement.  This is to cover the enhanced cost of pet coke, fuel costs and logistics costs.

Another noteworthy point is that current cement prices are at the 2011-2012 levels.

Green Cement - Green Building

Green Cement - Greener Buildings

Wikipedia defines Green cement as a cementitious material that meets or exceeds the functional performance capabilities of ordinary Portland cement ( OPC ) by incorporating and optimizing recycled materials, thereby reducing consumption of natural raw materials, water, and energy, resulting in a more sustainable construction material.

Growing environmental concerns and the increasing cost of fuels of fossil origin have resulted in many countries in a sharp reduction of the resources needed to produce cement.
Rising awareness among consumers about the need for environmental preservation today, have made them conscious of the products they use.

Socially conscious industries, on their part, are working towards making manufacturing processes more sustainable and earth-friendly. Today's real estate developers and engineers are focusing on building green spaces through the use of smart concepts and green raw materials in the construction process. As a consequence, there has been a substantial growth in consumption of green cement.

Nearly 900 kg of CO2 are emitted for every 1000 kg of Portland cement produced.
New manufacturing processes for producing green cement are being researched with the goal to reduce, or even eliminate, the production and release of damaging pollutants and greenhouse gasses, particularly CO2.

The majority of carbon dioxide emissions in the manufacture of Portland cement (approximately 60%) are produced from the chemical decomposition of limestone to lime, an ingredient in Portland cement clinker. These emissions may be reduced by lowering the clinker content of cement. 

PPC Cement or Portland Pozzolana Cement or Blended Cement has in usual ratio anything from 65%-90% of raw cement, the rest being cementitious material. Thus it can be classified as a Green Cement.

PSC Cement or Portland Slag Cement by virtue of its low cement content combined with a high steel slag content is a prime candidate to be classified a Green Cement. PSC has a doube whammy in that it usually has a higher content of Slag than raw cement and plays a two-fold role in environment protection. Firstly, slag is a non-degradeable waste product of steel plants which left unutilized leads to severe environment damage. Secondly, PSC cement contains the least ratio of raw cement among cements, thereby cutting CO2 emmisions per tonne of cement produced.

UltraTech Posts 3rd Quarter Results

UltraTech Prices

Aditya Birla Group Company UltraTech Cement has reported for Q3 0f 2018 a 11 % drop in net profit at Rs.376 crore against Rs.424 crore reported in the same period last year, against a sharp increase in operational cost.
Net sales were up 20 % at Rs.8,111 crore (Rs.6,752 crore) over the previous year. Domestic sales volume jumped 21 %.
Rising energy and logistics cost coupled with rupee depreciation pushed up operational expenses by 14 %, pulling down profits despite higher sales volume.

With no letup on from high energy prices and rupee depreciation in sight, the cement major may continue to face price pressure and will not be able to pass on the cost increase to customers. Supply is expected to continue to outstrip demand some time, according to cement industry insiders which was earlier highlighted by the Indian Cement Industry body the CMA.

Other Highlights:
Capacity utilization fell to 65 percent from 73 percent in the June quarter.
Sales volume stood at 15.7 million tonnes compared to an estimated 16 million tonnes.
The company’s acquisition of Century Cement is subject to shareholders and regulatory approvals.
Realization per tonne rose 1.1 percent to Rs 5,004.
Ebitda per tonne was down 20 percent to Rs 824.

The share markets reacted to the results and UltraTech share prices fell after release of these results.

ACC Post Results

LafargeHolcim Unit ACC Cements' Results

Cement major ACC Cement, which is a unit of the world's largest cement maker, LafargeHolcim, reported 15.20 % increase in consolidated net profit at Rs. 209.14 crore for the third quarter ended September 30, led by volume growth spurred by higher demand. The cement company, which follows January-December financial year, had posted a net profit of Rs 181.53 crore last year.

Major highlights are:
1. Total income from operations was up 10.35 % to Rs. 3,465.92 crore as against Rs. 3,140.76 crore in the September quarter of 2017.
2. Total expenses were at Rs 3,160.38 crore current as against Rs 2,877.00 crore previous.
3. Cement sales were up 9.89 % to 6.55 million tonne (MT) current as against 5.96 MT previous.
4. Cement sales volume grew by 10 per cent during the quarter spurred by higher demand.
5. Revenue from Ready Mix Concrete was Rs.303.33 crore.
6. Ready Mix concrete sales volumes grew 12 % driven by an increase in the sale of value added products and the addition of 8 new plants across India.

Outlook:
ACC said it will continue to maintain its focus on operating efficiencies to improve performance. Demand drivers including growth in affordable and rural housing segments as well as infrastructure projects is expected to remain healthy. ACC were optimistic that cement demand growth would strengthen in the coming year.

Cement Price Rise

Cement Prices To Rise

According to senior officials of the Indian Cement Industry body the CMA, cement prices are expected to rise by up to 10 percent in the next six months to compensate for the increased fuel and transportation costs. In the last one year there has been a 60-70 % rise in cost of fuel.

According to the same sources, the Indian cement industry has witnessed a 14 % growth in the first half of the year ended March 2019, the first double digit growth since nearly nine fiscals ago, thereby providing an opportunity for the correction of prices which have remained stagnant in the last 6-7 years.

Cement industry insiders gave a point by point argument for the likely rise in cement prices:

1. In the last one year we have seen 60-70 percent rise in cost of fuel.
2. Cement cost and normal inflation are much more than the pricing that what the cement companies have been able to raise.
3. There is a very dire need to correct the pricing to at least recover some portion of this cement cost and inflation increase.
4. There is surplus capacity in the cement industry but no pricing power.
5. Cement companies are selling a cement bag practically at the same price that was prevailing in 2011-12.
6. Just for recovering the fuel and transportation charges, that will call for a minimum of Rs 25-30 per bag, which is about 8-10 percent increase in prices, which will bring the cement industry at the level where they were last year in terms of operating margins.

On a related note, of the 500 million tonne capacity available in the industry, only 300 MT is utilized at the moment. The health of the cement industry isn't as good as expected and a lot of units have been put on the block. It indicates the margins are not very healthy.
This is expected to  continue for a while till such time the prices are corrected. More cement companies can be expected to go for insolvency proceedings if cement prices are not corrected and unhealthy margins remain.

Sagar Cement Posts Results

Sagar Cements Price Rises

Sagar Cements has reported the cement production and sales figures for September 2018. The company’s consolidated cement production/purchase for September 2018 stood at 256,507 MT, up by 27.18% compared to 201,690 MT produced in September 2017. Further, the consolidated cement sales for September 2018 stood at 249,882 MT, up by 21.84% compared to 205,097 MT sold in September 2017.

Sagar Cements Prices Rise

Sagar Cements is a prominent player in the field of cement in Andhra Pradesh for over 3 decades adopting progressive manufacturing practices. Sagar Cements product line consists 33G OPC, 43G OPC, 53G OPC, PPC, and SRC cements. The Company which started its operation with a Cement capacity of 66000 TPA, has gradually increased it to the level of 2.35 MTPA, while its Clinker capacity has also witnessed a significant increase from 66000 TPA in 1982 to present level of 2.0 MTPA.

Cement Packing Costs To Rise

Cement Price Rise Expected

Cement companies are fighting rising input cost increases on multiple fronts. Prices of petroleum coke, a key raw material, remains very high. Since most of its requirement is met through imports, a weakening rupee is adding to the cost burden.

Global oil prices are inching up, translating into increased diesel prices and elevated transportation costs for the cement industry. A spike in crude oil prices has also a bearing on the sector’s packaging cost as most cement companies pack their cement in HDPE bags. Cement is packed in bags which are either made of high-density polyethylene or laminated woven paper. As per some analysts, many cement companies opt for the latter and although these bags are sourced locally, crude oil price movements do impact prices of HDPE bags.

So far this year, crude oil prices have jumped about 24% and are currently at about $82 per barrel. Historically, it has been observed that packing material cost per tonne has a fairly high correlation with crude oil prices given the link between crude oil and HDPE.

The packing costs of almost all major cement companies in India have shown increases according to public reports. Considering the surge in crude oil prices this year, the packing component of cement companies overall operating cost is set to rise. Cement insider reports expect packing costs to increase by about ₹30 per tonne.

Cement Production To Grow @ 7%

Cement Prices Key To Profits

Great Indian Festival Mr.Sabyasachi Majumdar, Senior Vice-President, of the rating agency ICRA in their report stated that cement production is expected to grow at 6%-7% in the current fiscal year, driven by pick-up in affordable housing and rural housing segments and infrastructure spending primarily roads and irrigation.

According to the rating agency, Indian cement production remained healthy in the first four months of FY19, reporting a 14.7% year-on-year (YoY) growth. Production remained in the range of 27.5 MMT-28.6 MMT during the April-June period, clocking the highest at 28.6 MMT in June. It declined in July by 9.3% on a month-on-month (MoM) basis owing to the monsoons, when cement consumption is usually on the lower side. However, it did remain high by 10.8% on a YoY basis, at close to 26 MMT.

However, rising costs are likely to put pressure on the operating profitability of Indian cement companies in the coming quarters. Cement manufacturers' ability to secure price increases remains the key to profits.

The trend was supported by demand, driven primarily by low-cost housing (in South India - AP and Telangana; and in Eastern India - except Bihar) and a pick-up in the execution of infrastructure projects (in South - AP and Telangana and in the East and West India).

On the capacity side, estimates are that around 17-19 MTPA will get added in FY19-20, primarily in the East and Central regions. However, the actual production from new capacities could be lower, given that a disproportionate part of the capacity addition is largely grinding as opposed to clinker capacities.

While the additions have moderated, expectations are that the capacity overhang is likely to continue to keep the industry's capacity utilisation level below 70%, over the next two years. Lumpy capacity additions in the recent past have led to an increase in debt levels and some deterioration in credit metrics, although they still remain at comfortable levels for most of the larger cement players.
Great Indian Festival

Cement Prices Stable

While in the North and South, the prices are on the lower side by Rs 25-30 per bag, the prices in the east are largely similar in the first five months of FY19 (YoY).
The pressure on prices will continue in the second quarter of FY19, owing to the monsoons, which usually have an adverse impact on cement demand.

Hence, the higher power, fuel cost due to increase in coal and pet coke prices and freight costs owing to increase in diesel prices in the first half of FY19 and in the coming quarters are likely to continue to pressure profitability margins and debt metrics of cement companies in the near term, according to the report.

Reinforced Concrete

Effects of Fibre Treatment on the Properties of Sisal Fibre Reinforced Ternary Concrete.


Patrick Oguguo Nwankwo and Emmanuel Achuenu.

Summary
Most of the developing counties are very rich in agricultural and vegetable fibres. The use of vegetable fibres as reinforcing agent in composite matrices (such as cement and polymer) is attracting more attention for various low-cost building products. However, the main draw back in the use of vegetable fibres in composites is the lack of durability. In this work, sisal fibre treated by boiling and washing was used as the reinforcing agent in ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete.

The cement-based matrix was modified by blending with fly ash (Fa) and calcined waste crushed clay bricks (CWCCB) as pozzolanas. Nine variations of the concrete specimens were prepared. Some specimens were blended with Fa and CWCCB and reinforced with 3% volume fraction of heat treated or untreated sisal fibres, while some specimens were not bended, but reinforced with either 3% volume fraction of heat treated or untreated sisal fibres. The mix ratio was 1:2:4 (one part binder, two parts fine aggregate and four parts coarse aggregate). The OPC was kept constant as 50% of the binders, while Fa and CWCCB were varied in the ratios; 20:30, 25:25 and 30:20 (Fa: CWCCB). The water/binder ratio was 0.6. Treatment of sisal fibres by boiling and washing improved the workability of concrete and enhanced the compressive strength of plain and ternary concrete. The ternary concrete with 25:25 (Fa: CWCCB) blend, reinforced with 3% volume fraction of heat treated sisal fibre gave the highest compressive strength.

Key words: Sisal fibre, Heat treatment, Ternary concrete, Fly ash, Calcined waste crushed clay bricks, Pozzolanas.

Cheaper Imports Hurt Indian Cement Industry

Cheaper Imports Hurt Indian Cement Industry

Cheaper cement imports from Pakistan are hurting the Indian Cement industry, which is already under pressure from the impact of low demand due to floods in major cement consuming states among other factors and high GST, cement manufacturers in Punjab and Kerala claim.
There’s been no customs duty on cement imports from Pakistan since 2007, making it competitive in comparison to the Indian product, especially in the states bordering Pakistan. Also coastal access states like Kerala among others, import a sizeable quantity due to its cheaper costs.

Cement Demand in South Bright

India Cements AGM Updates

Click The Links Below To Apply Online Now.

Chairman of India Cements Mr. N Srinivasan, speaking at the company’s 72nd AGM said that cement demand in the Southern region of the country is increasing with growth in infrastructure and housing. The company expects that demand in the second quarter will also improve despite the floods in Kerala and the transporters’ strike.

After a long time cement demand is slowly picking up in the south, which has the problem of cement over capacity. Demand for cement is slowly picking up following an increase in infrastructure and housing sector projects. The southern region is slowly catching up with the rest of the country when it comes to the demand for cement with higher capacity utilisation by the plants in the current year. Southern region registered a growth of over 20 per cent in cement output during the April-June 2018 quarter primarily driven by the infrastructure push given by the governments of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

He said the plants in north, west, central and eastern regions are already operating almost at full capacity. Capacity utilisation of plants owned by India Cements Ltd was at 71 per cent better than the industry peers in South. India Cements substantially improved the operating performance in the first quarter of the financial year April-June 2018 with capacity utilisation of 80 per cent as compared to 67 per cent in the same quarter the previous year. On the capacity expansion plans in Sankari and Dalavoi plants in Tamil Nadu, Mr. Srinivasan said the company would explore avenues for augmenting capacity after attaining the expected full capacity utilisation.

It had substantially improved its operating performance in the first quarter of this year (Apr-Jun) with a capacity utilisation of 80%, against 67% in the same quarter of the previous year. It also expects the second quarter to be better despite the floods in Kerala and transporters’ strike. “This year, we’re seeing good volume and going forward, we’ll be operating almost at full capacity in the fourth quarter (Jan-Mar) of this year resulting in better performance,” Mr. Srinivasan told shareholders.

UltraTech Joins EP100

The Climate Group is an international non-profit, founded in 2004, with offices in London, New Delhi and New York. Their stated goal is a world of under 2°C of global warming and greater prosperity for all, without delay.

And they propose to bring about these changes by:

Bringing together powerful networks of businesses and governments, which shift global markets and policies, towards this goal.
By acting as a catalyst to take innovation and solutions to scale. And use the power of communication to build ambition and pace.
By focusing on the greatest global opportunities for change.

EP100
The Climate Group’s global EP100 initiative in partnership with the Alliance to Save Energy brings together a growing group of energy-smart companies committed to using energy more productively, to lower greenhouse gas emissions and accelerate a clean economy.

The Climate Group estimates that if 100 companies double their energy productivity by 2030 – generating twice as much economic output for every unit of energy consumed – over 170 million metric tons of emissions could be avoided cumulatively, equivalent to taking 37 million cars off the road for a year.

By setting ambitious targets and integrating energy efficiency into business strategy, leading companies are driving clean tech innovation while delivering on emissions reduction goals – inspiring others to follow their lead.

Dalmia Cement, H&M and Johnson Controls are already on EP100 according to The Climate Group's official website.

The Aditya Birla's UltraTech Cement is the latest company to join the EP100 initiative. UltraTech has committed to double its energy productivity, improvement of energy performance is one of the critical levers for UltraTech to reduce the carbon intensity of its operations. This will also provide a strategic boost to UltraTech's low carbon growth target of reducing carbon intensity by 25 per cent by 2021 (2005 baseline) according to a statement issued by the company.

Ms.Helen Clarkson, CEO, The Climate Group, said, “It’s hugely encouraging to see UltraTech, one of the leading cement producers globally, step up on energy efficiency – this is a win-win for emissions reduction and business growth. We need to see many more cement companies and other large energy users in hard-to-abate sectors follow UltraTech’s lead.”

Mr.K K Maheshwari, Managing Director, UltraTech Cement Limited said, “UltraTech Cement has always been at the forefront in adopting sustainable processes in its business operations. The Company has some of the best performing plants on energy metrics across the world. As a responsible organisation, we realise the need for further substantial improvements in energy productivity. Our membership of EP100, we believe, will play a catalytic role in helping us accelerate towards doubling our energy productivity, which is a key strategic lever to achieve sustainable business growth”.

Cement Industry Awaits GST Cuts

Indian Cement Industry Expects 18% GST against Current 28

The Cement Manufacturers Association of India has long been lobbying for the reduction in the GST for cement. They had argued that a cut in the tax rate would help as it would boost infrastructure spending. This sounds good to a government looking to create more jobs and boost the economy. On a secondary level it could be a big shot in the arm for stakeholders like individual homebuyers and builders.

GST Council To Meet September 28th

The CMA is taking heart at Finance Minister Mr. Arun Jaitley's earlier statement that the GST Council may look to reduce the tax rates on cement, air-conditioners and large screen televisions as revenues improve. The GST Council is slated to meet for two days, beginning September 28 and may take up a proposal to cut the tax rate on cement to 18 per cent from 28 per cent as the move may create more jobs and boost the economy ahead of the general elections.

On the other hand, informed sources imply that a dip in the August revenue collection could weigh on the council's decision on a cut. The council may not immediately cut the tax rate on the cement sector as it would have a revenue impact of around Rs. 1,000 crore per annum according to some estimates. Furthermore, the GST Council in July had reduced the tax rate on around 30 items, including paints and white goods such as refrigerators and washing machines, to 18 per cent from 28 per cent, which had a revenue implication of about Rs. 10,000 crore per annum. Whether, the Government is willing to forego another Rs.1,000 crore per annum so close behind is anyone's guess.

In a related note,  GST collections for August declined 1.7 % to Rs. 93,960 crore from Rs. 96,483 crore in the previous month. However, insider analysts have argued that a cut in the GST rate for the construction sector will boost demand and increase revenue collection. At present, while cement is taxed under the 28 per cent slab, many other items used in construction sector are in the 18-per-cent slab.

Related trivia : Construction in India is a labour-intensive sector that contributes 8 % to the Indian gross domestic product.

On unrelated news, cement shares declined.

UltraTech Cement (down 2.67%),
ACC (down 1.34%),
Ambuja Cements (down 1.25%),
Grasim Industries (down 0.39%).
Grasim has exposure to the cement sector through its holding in UltraTech Cement.

Penna Cements Cochin

Penna Cements' Cochin Operations

The arrival of Shipping Vessel 'Penna Suraksha' carrying 25,000 MT of cement from Krishnapatanam Port kickstarts the beginning of operations of the 4th cement terminal at Cochin Port.

The cement brought from Krishnapatnam Port is being transferred from the ship to the silos located in the cement terminal at Q6 berth of Ernakulam Wharf through pneumatic suction. Catering to the cement deficit Kerala market, the company has set up a Rs.60 crore facility to handle bulk cement.

This paradigm shift in the transportation of cement from the conventional road/ rail to shipping is another step towards promoting coastal shipping envisaged under the Sagarmala programme. Cement being a high-volume, low-value product, low-cost sea transport is set to be a game changer in logistics. The National Perspective Plan lists coastal movement of cement as an important segment of India’s coastal shipping potential.

The bagging terminal of Penna Cement is the fourth such terminal in Kochi. The terminal set up in 1.14 hectares land leased by the port is expected to handle 3 lakh tonnes of cement annually.

As of now, three bulk cement terminals, one each of Ambuja Cements, UltraTech Cements and Zuari Cements are in operation. Malabar Cements, a Kerala Govt. cement company has also been allotted land for setting up a cement bagging terminal. The three currently operational terminals handle 7,83,000 tonnes of cement annually and a throughput of 1.5 MMT is expected by 2020. The current annual sales volume of Penna Cements for the whole of India is 5.80 MMT, of which 0.30 MMT is in Kerala, which is confined to the Malabar Regions. The packing terminal here will be catering to the requirements of central and south Kerala.

The company has a total production capacity of 2.75 MPTA. Kalburgi Cement has a 10-11% market share in Maharashtra.
