Operating context

A relentless focus on Cement supplied to prestigious projects


evolving opportunities
With India undertaking a multi-year, multi-sectoral infrastructure development programme,
demand for cement is likely to increase manifold. The government’s thrust on ensuring
‘housing for all’ bodes well for the cement industry. Further, despite being one of leading
producers and consumers of cement in the world, India’s per capita cement consumption is
about half the global average, which provides significant headroom as the nation asserts its
influence in the world economic order.
