Chapter 1:

INDUSTRY PROFILE

1.1.1 HISTORY OF CEMENT INDUSTRY



The history of Cement can be traced to the days of Babylonia and Assyria. The Egyptians used

clay motor in the Pyramids and Romans Produced type of Cement of by mixing Volcanic Ash with

Quicklime which, to this day, is often entirely free from fissures whenever mankind has undertaken to

build with any degree of permanence and using rock stone or brick, it has been found that some

form of Cement is an indispensable construction material.

Before the development of Portland Cement the Principal Cements were Natural Cement and

Puzzolan. Natural Cement is made from Cement rock, naturally occurring limestone that needs only to be

burned and pulverized. Puzzolan Cement is a mixture of slaked lime and granulated blast furnace slag.

The history of Portland Cement traces back to 18th Century when a patent for making of Portland

Cement was obtained by Joseph, a brick layer of Leeds, England in 1824. This Cement was called as

Portland cement because when it hardened it produced a yellowish Gray mass resembling in appearancethe stone from the famous quarry of Portland, England. the new Cement did not receive ready acceptance

because of the established reputation of the natural Cements. it was not the until the 1850 that Portland and

by 1860 the industry had developed in the European continent, particularly in Belguam, Germany and

France. The industry was well established in Europe before the first patent to produce Portland cement

was granted in 1872 in the US in the year 1904 Portland Cement entered into India since then it has been

one of the major industry Indian economy constituting a major share.

1.1.2 PERFORMANCE OF CEMENT INDUSTRY

India holds the pride of being the second largest producer of cement next to China and the country is

acting as a home for a number of top cement companies. Cement industry in India is growing at a faster

pace nowadays with the increasing number of construction projects taking place in different parts of the

country.

Cement Company, in any country, plays a major role in the growth of the nation. Cement industry in

India was under full control and supervision of the government. However, it got relief at a large extent

after the economic reform. But government interference, especially in the pricing, is still evident in India.

In spite of being the second largest cement producer in the world, India falls in the list of lowest per capita

consumption of cement with 125 kg. The reason behind this is the poor rural people who mostly live in

mud huts and cannot afford to have the commodity.

Despite the fact, the demand and supply of cement in India has grown up. In a fast developing economy

like India, there is always large possibility of expansion of cement industry. Above all, the country is



expecting further growth in this industry in the coming years due to the growth of the top companies in

this sector. The list of top players in the cement industry in India is given below:

1.1.3 List of Top players in the cement industry in India:

• ACC Limited

• Gujarat Ambuja Cements Limited

• Ultratech

• Grasim

• India Cements

• JK Cement Limited

• Jaypee Group

• Century Cement

Some of the details regarding these top players in the cement industry in India is given below:

ACC Limited:

ACC Limited is the one of the prominent manufacturers of cement and concrete in India and they have

several zonal officer, 19 sales officer, 19 ready mix concrete plants and 14 modern cement factories in

different parts of India. They have more than 65 years of experience in cement and concrete production.

Gujarat Ambuja Cements Limited:

This company came into existence in the year 1986 it has seen very good growth during the past decade.

They are presently producing nearly 160 lakhs tons of cement and they are owning some of the state-of-

the-art manufacturing facilities with advanced technological instruments.

Ultratech:

UltraTech is a popular name in the cement industry in India and they have production facilities spread

over eleven integrated plants and most of their plants have received ISP 14001 and 9001 certifications and

Grasim Industries in the cement sector in India is a flagship of Aditya Birla Group, who are leaders in

different sectors in India. As most of us know Grasim is a popular name in the textile industry in India as

well. This company is operating 10 ready mix concrete units, 4 bulk terminals and 11 composite plants.

India Cements:

India cement is not only a leader in the cement industry in India, but they have also made their mark in the

real estate and infrastructure sector in India. They are one among the preferred cement companies mainly

because of their quality product offered at affordable cost.

JK Cement Limited:

JK Cement Limited began their operations in the year 1975 and they are leaders in the cement production

in the Northern part of the country. Initially, the company began its operations with a production capacity

of 0.3 million tons of cement and now they have a production capacity of 2.8 million tons of cement. As

far as the manufacture of white cement is concerned, they are the second largest company in India.

Jaypee Group:

Jaypee Group has their largest cement production unit in the state of Uttar Pradesh and some of their

popular products include Portland Pozzolana Cement and ordinary Portland cement. In the near future, the

company is planning to expand its cement capabilities through green field additions and acquisition.

Century Cement:

This company is a flagship of the popular BK Birla Group, who has made their presence felt in different

industries like chemicals, rayons, textiles, etc…in India. One of their popular brand Birla Gold has acquire

a very good name in the construction industry in India.

Therefore, the cement industry in India is growing considerably with the help of the heavy contributions

made by these top players and this industry is expected to grow further, which in turn can improve

employment opportunities in the country as well.

1.1.4 Production and Growth of cement industry in India

Domestic demand is one of the chief reasons for the rapid growth of cement manufacturing in India. One

can say that the domestic demand for the commodity has in fact clearly overtaken the rate of economic

growth in the country. It is estimated that the consumption of cement in the country is bound to rise more

than 22% within the next two years. In terms of cement consumption, Maharashtra State leads the list with

12.18%, followed by Uttar Pradesh, whereas in terms of production, the State of Andhra Pradesh leads the

table reporting 14.72% of production. The second place in the manufacturing is bagged by Rajasthan.



During October 2009, the country produced a total volume of 12.37 MT compared to a manufacturing of

11.61 MT recorded in the same month during the previous year. The cement manufacturing units are also

motivated to take up their production rate owing to the rapidly increasing demand in the market. Most

encouragingly, the cement companies witnessed a net profit growth rate of 85%. This huge success has

further encouraged the firms in India to account for about 8% of India’s economic development.

Some of the regions where major clusters of cement industries located in India are Satna (Madhya

Pradesh), Yerranguntla (Andhra Pradesh), Chandrapur (Maharashtra), Bilaspur (Chattisgarh), Gulbarga

(Karnataka), Nalgonda (Andhra Pradesh), and Chandoria (Rajasthan).

Technology Up-gradation

At present, the cement industry in the country is undergoing a technological change on account of up

-gradation and assimilation witnessed in the sector. Presently, not less than 93% of the total capacity is

wholly based on manufacturing under the modern dry process, which is deemed more environment-

friendly, while the remaining rest 7% employs old wet and semi-dry process technology.

There is also an enormous scope of waste heat recovery in the cement manufacturing plants that will give

way to reduction in the levels of emission and consequently contribute to environment-friendly practices.

The recent up gradation of technology across the cement industry segment has helped the industry to

enormously conserve fuel and energy and make a huge saving on materials. The cement industry in India

has developed its technical capabilities to produce a range of cement types including Ordinary Portland

Cement (OPC), Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), Portland Blast Furnace Slag Cement (PBFS), Oil Well

Cement, Rapid Hardening Portland Cement, Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement and White Cement.

Major Players in Indian Cement Industry

A number of successful companies are leading the cement production in the country. However, about 20

big firms alone account for over 70% of the total cement production in the nation. The total installed

capacity of cement in the country is found distributed over 129 plants, which are owned by 54 major

companies functioning from the breadths and lengths of the nation. The major players in the cement

industry in India include ACC, Gujarat Ambuja, Ultratech, Grasim, India Cements, jaypee Group, JK

Group, Century, Madras Cements and Birla Corp.

1.1.5 Future Ahead of Indian Cement Industry

The annual demand for cement in India is consistently growing at 8-10%. NCAER has estimated after an

extensive study that the demand for cement in the country is expected to increase to 244.82 million tonnes

by 2012. At the same time, the demand will be at 311.37 million tonnes if the projections of the road and

housing segments are met in reality. However, the realization of this capacity might get delayed on



account of delay in equipment delivery and construction of plants caused by heavy pending orders in the

books of suppliers. The crude oil prices have pronounced a heavy impact on the profits made by cement

manufacturers. Once the economic growth passes on this burden to the consumers, this situation will be

eased at the manufacturer end. The government has taken measures to increase the availability of

indigenous coal for cement manufacturers to bring down production costs.

Developments in the domestic environment and a large number of infrastructure projects have created an

unforeseen demand for cement consumption in India, which is bound to increase manifold over the

coming years. While concrete steps are being taken to bring down, costs, the cement industry is heading

towards a very bright future in India.

1.1.6 List of countries by cement production

This is a list of top countries by cement production in 2010 based on USGS Mineral Program Cement

Report. (Jan 2011)

While the top 3, China, India and USA, didn't change in the last 5 years, declining US production by

36.5% is noteworthy. The most progressing countries in terms of ranking are Turkey (10 th to 4th), Brazil

(13th to 5th) and Vietnam (17th to 9th). All top European cement producing countries except Turkey lost

their rankings (Spain, Russia, Italy, Germany and France), as a result of the global financial crisis.

1.1.7 Recent Mergers and Acquisitions in Cement Industry in India

1. UltraTech Cement is going to absorb its sister concern Samruddhi Cement to become biggest

cement company in India.

2. World's leading foreign funds like HSBC, ABN Amro, Fidelity, Emerging Market Fund and Asset

Management Fund have together bought 7.5% of India Cements (ICL) at a cost of US$ 124.91

million.

3. Cimpor, a Cement company of Portugal, has bought 53.63% stake that Grasim Industries had in

4. French cement company Vicat SA bought 6.67% share of Sagar Cement at a cost of US$ 14.35

million.

5. Holcim now holds 56% stake of Ambuja Cement. Previously it held 22% of stake. The company

utilized various open market transactions to increase its stakes. It invested US$ 1.8 billion for that.

1.1.8 Recent Investments in the Indian Cement Industry

1. In a recent announcement, the second largest cement company in South India, Dalmia Cement

declared that it's going to invest more than US$ 652.6 million in the next 2-3 years to add 10 MT

capacity.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement





2. Anil Ambani-led Reliance Infrastructure is going to build up cement plants with a total capacity of

yearly 20 MT in the next 5 years. For this, the company will invest US$ 2.1 billion.

3. India Cements is going to set up 2 thermal power plants in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu at a

cost of US$ 104 billion.

4. Anil Ambani-led Reliance Cementation is also going to set up a 5 MT integrated cement plant in

Maharashtra. It will invest US$ 463.2 million for that.

1.1.9 Current Scenario of cement industry.

The Indian cement industry is the second largest producer of quality cement. Indian Cement Industry is

engaged in the production of several varieties of cement such as Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC),

Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), Portland Blast Furnace Slag Cement (PBFS), Oil Well Cement, Rapid

Hardening Portland Cement, Sulphate, resisting Portland Cement, White Cement, etc. They are produced

strictly as per the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) specifications and their quality is comparable with the

best in the world.

The Indian cement industry is the second largest in the world. The industry occupies an important place in

the national economy because of its strong linkages to other sectors such as construction, transportation,

coal and power. The cement industry is also one of the major contributors to the exchequer by way of

indirect taxes.

Indian Cement industry is comprised of 148 large cement plants with around 46 member companies. The

installed capacity of these large cement plants is estimated to be 219.17 million tonne during 2009-10 (as

on March 2009).There are 95 large cement plants with capacity of of million tonnes and above and around

1,40,000 mnpower is employed uder these plants (one Mn.T cement generates downstream employment to

50,000 persons). Also,there are 365 mini and white cement plants with an installed capacity of 11.10

million tonne .

5. Organization Structure

CEMENT

Cement means any substance, which acts as a binding agent for materials. Cement is produced at

high temperature with intimate mixture of Calcerous, Silicons and Aluminous substances and crushing the

resulting Clinkers to a powder. Cement is the most expensive ingredient in concrete and is available in a

variety forms. The properties of Cement depend upon the Chemical compositions, the process of

Manufacture and the degree of fineness to which it is ground. When cement is mixed with water, a

chemical reaction takes place as a result of which the cement pastes first sets and then hardness to a stone

like mass depending upon its chemical composition.

2.2 HISTORY OF THE COMPANY

The Bagalkot Cement Company was incorporated on 6 th September 1955. It was started by Late

Shri A.G. Tendulkar. The company started its Production with installation of wet process kiln with a

capacity of 300 TPD in 1960; initially it was started with one kiln, one raw mill and one Cement mill as itsmachinery assets, 1200 strong workforce and 990 acres of land property. The plant produces Portland

cement.

The company was registered with an Authorized Capital of Rs 10, 00,000 ordinary shares of Rs 10 each.

The shares of company are registered at Mumbai; Later on the Company was sold to Shahu Jain Group in

1986, in the 5-year 1971 the name of the company was changed to Bagalkot Cement Industries Limited.

The Shahu Jain Group didn’t find it as a viable unit and handed over the cement plant to Kanoria group of

Industries in the year 1972.

In earlier days Bagalkot Cement Factory was considered as a totally unviable unit, but now it is

turned out to be one of the best Cement Manufacture units in north Karnataka.

The credit goes to the present Management of the Company under the leadership of shri Ajay

Kanoria. At the time of taking over the unit in 1972, was able to run the old plant by continuous

improvements with some Capital Expenditure to reduce Cost of Production.



2.3 GROWTH OF THE COMPANY

The present Management of Kanoria Group Keeping in view of the good prospect for the Cement

Industry has made many changes. In order to economize the Cost of production, Management modernized

the machinery’s and changed the production process from Wet to Dry method. As a result, its capacity of

production changed from 90 thousands tones/ annum to 3.3 lack tones/annum. To bring more

Technological changes in production the management reached an agreement with M/s Blue Circle

Industries PLC in 1985. Under the services of BCI, it has been envisaged that the existing capacity

1000TPD will reach to 1200 to 1500 TPD under existing resources only.

To meet the growing needs of the nation, another Wet process Kiln of 300TPD was installed. The

entire machinery for the two kilns was imported from M/s Krupps of West Germany. In order to upgrade

the capacity of the Kiln and bring operational improvement, the company entered into a technical

agreement with PLC UK, who is one of the largest operating cement companies in the world.

The chief advantages of this technical agreement with Blue Circle are:-

1. Sustained increased production of cement.

2. Improved thermal efficiency of the Kiln.

3. Energy conservation.

4. Training.

5. Improved method of plant maintenance

In September 1982, to achieve fuel saving, the two wet process Kilns were replaced by a new

1000TPD dry process Kiln, supplied by ACC Ltd.

The precision and care observed at Kanoria Industries Ltd., throughout the manufacturing process,

reflects in quality and product which surpasses the specifications laid down by the Indian Standards

Institution (ISI).The cement produced undergoes a number of physical tests such as Compressive strength,

Fineness, Setting time, Soundness etc.



In order to overcome the chronic power shortage of the state electricity grid, Bagalkot has installed

a Diesel Generator set of 4000Kw capacity from Japan. With the assistance of M/s Blue Circle BCIL has

set up a separate training department in the company, which caters to complete training needs of the

managerial, supervisory & operating staff. BCIL enjoys a unique distinction of offering cement in a

variety of packing bags viz. jute, HDPE & paper bags etc. according to customer needs & preferences.

2.4 INFRASTRUCTRAL FACILITIES, INPUTS AND SOURCES

1. Location: The Bagalkot Cement Industries Ltd., Cement Division, is located 2kms away from

BAGALKOT, on 990 acres of own land. Bagalkot town is connected with a Broad gauge Railway

Line. The company has a railway siding up to the factory site. The town is well connected by road

ways.

2. Raw material: The main sources of raw material are Limestone. Bagalkot district is having very

rich sources of limestone belt. The plant is located near the raw material resource. The other raw

material includes silica, gypsum, bauxite etc., which are purchased from outside supplier.

3. Water: Water is quite important, as it is used in the manufacturing process at KIL. The company

has two sources of water, one through municipal connection from Bagalkot Municipal and the

other one from bore well in the factory.

4. Power: The Company has a dual system of purchased and self generated power. To overcome the

chronic power shortage of the state electricity grid, the plant has installed a D.G. Set of 4000Kw.

The plant is dependent on the KEB for the rest of power requirement.

2.5 CONTRIBUTION TO THE NATION & SOCIETY

The company is committed to the goal of contributing to the national growth. It is paying

approximately Rs 10 crores per annum as central excise duty, Rs 4 crores as sales tax to the state Govt.,

about 2 crores as a central sales tax, turnover tax, entry tax, additional tax to the state Govt of Maharastra

and Goa, Rs 3.5 crores of railway freight per annum. Apart from this thousands of families depend on

cement factory for their livelihood.

The company has also committed to its social obligations hence, has provided school, Temple and

has organized medical camps to the employees of the factory and people of Bagalkot.

ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION



The Company is situated in a full greenery atmosphere and has given prime importance for

environment protection.

At the time of installation and modernization of the plant, adequate measures were taken to install

pollution control equipment for the all process equipment’s. Two number of Electrostatic Precipitators

(ESP), one each for Kiln and Raw mill. Number of pulse jet bag type dust collector were installed for

cement mill, coals mills and packing house etc., at an expenditure of over Rs 1.25 Crs, to maintain dust

emission level within the stipulated levels. Apart from this, the company has invested in the most modern

and advanced equipment’s for blasting operations.

In order to operate all the pollution control equipment’s about 97kw of electric power is required.

Therefore the Company has installed second DG set in 1989 and with this the pollution control

equipment’s has been monitoring strictly in spite of power cuts from KEB by utilizing installed DG sets.

The company has planted about 65000 trees to give aesthetic look to the plant and protect the

Functional Areas

4.1PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT

PRODUCTION PROCESS OF CEMENT PLANT

Cement is manufactured from various methods for eg wet process and dry process. Bagalkot

Cement Industries Ltd., manufacturers cement adopting Dry process method. Various processes in the

production are as follows.

LIME STONE:



Lime stone is the basic ingredient in the process of manufacturing cement. As with any cement

making process, they need source of lime. Lime stone is ideal but a hard rock. Lime stone is obtained from

blasting out in quarry. It contains up to 98 % calcium carbonates.

Before lime stone can be used in the cement making process, it has to be fed into a crusher, where

it is reduced in size to pieces around 20-25 mm across suitable for feeding to the raw mills.

CEMENT CHEMIST’S NOTATION:

Lime CaO ‘C’

Silica SiO2 ‘S’

Alumina Al2 O3 ‘A’

Ferric oxide Fe2 O3 ‘F’

STOCKPILE / BLENDING:

The crushed raw materials are stored for ready to use. In many plants, a blending or homogenizing

stockpile is used in order to assist in checking any chemical variations in the raw materials coming from

the quarries. A stacker builds up layer upon to form the stockpile, such as the longitudinal one.

Depending on the area of the quarry, each layer may be of slightly different chemical composition.

RAW MILLING / BALL MILL:

After mixing in correct proportion, the limestone and shale are fed to a raw mill where they are

ground to a fine powder. In most modern plants, a closed circuit ball milling system is used.

The ball mill is basically steel tube containing steel balls or media ranging in size typically from 90

mm downwards.

The ball gradually grinds the raw materials to fine powder. The mill is usually of single chamber

design and may be fitted with a classifying lining.



The lining has the effect of grading the ball sizes, larger balls are kept at the inlet end, when the

larger pieces of raw material have to be broken and smaller balls at the out let end, where the finger

grinding is taking place.

RAW MEAL BLENDING:

The raw meal is then conveyed to silos for further blending. It is essential for the raw meal to

consist chemical quality, if problems at the kiln stage are to be avoided.

The base of the blending silo is divided into segments covered with porous tiles or canvas. As the

silo is filling, air is blown through the base to keep it clear.

The air flow is then increased to fluidize the meal, making it to act like liquid.

Blending is achieved by arranging up to three times as much air to be blown through one section of

the bases compared to the others.

A tumbling mixing action is imparted to the raw meal after a predetermined mixing time, or when

the technical department is satisfied that the raw meal is of consistent chemical composition.

RAW MEAL STORAGE;

The raw meal is fed from the blending silos to storage silos below. It is now ready to be introduced

to the next stage of process, the kiln system.

PRE-HEATER (4 STAGE SUSPENSION):

The raw material passes through a pre – heater. These 4 stages of suspension pre-heater is just one

of many types in use. It consists of 4 stages of cyclones.

From the kiln hot exhaust gases enter the bottom of the pre-heater column at the stage- 4 cyclone

and travel upwards through each of the other stages.

The raw meal is fed into the gas duct from the stage- 2 cyclones. The meal is immediately picked

up by the hot gas and carried into the stages 1 cyclone.



The process continues until the meal falls from the stage-4 cyclone and into the kiln inlet chute or

hearth. At each pre- heater stage, heat from the hot gases is transferred to the meal. The gases from the

kiln enter the pre- heater at about 1000° C and leaves stage-1 at about 350° C. The raw meal leaves stage-

4 at about 800° C.

CALCINATION:

At this temperature of 800° C the calcination of calcium carbonate takes place in the raw meal that

is conversion of calcium carbonate CaCO3 to lime CaO has started.

About 30% of the Calcination will be taken place by the time the raw meal reaches the kiln.

DUST CONTROL ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATORS:

To prevent dust from the kiln system or raw milling system from entering the atmosphere, the gas

is passed through electrostatic precipitators. To maximize their efficiency it is sometimes necessary to

condition the dust laden gas using a water spray, either in the pre-heater or in an external conditioning

tower.

An electrostatic precipitator is a chamber in which electrodes and earthed collectors plates are

suspended.

At the dust laden, gas enters the chambers. It is ionized by an electrical discharger and the dust is

attracted to the collector plates. By vibrating the collector plates periodically, the dust drops into the

precipitator’s hopper and is returned with the raw meal to the kiln system.

The cleaned exhaust gas, mainly carbon dioxide, Nitrogen and water vapour can then be safely

released into the atmosphere

THE KILN:

The pre-heated partially calcinied raw meal is fed into the kiln, a steel tube typically with a lengthto diameter ratio of 16:01and inclined at an angle of about 3 degree rotates at a speed of up to 3 rpm on a

system of rollers and tyre’s and is driven through a gear mounted around its circumference.

The seals at either end of the kiln are designed to prevent the ingress of cold air and to

accommodate expansion and rotation. The Kiln is lined with refractory bricks and is fired either by coal,

gas or oil at the lower end. If coal is used, it must be first pulverized, often using a ring roller mill. If

heavy fuel oil is used, it must first be heated to reduce its viscosity and aid atomization.



Raw meal from the pre-heater enters at the higher end and gradually moves down as the kiln

rotates, heating up as it does so. At first, the rest of the calcinations take place, so that the feed consists

mostly of lime, silica, alumina, and iron oxide, all in a hot reactive state.

The hottest part of the kiln is near the tip of the flame. This is the burning zone where the feed is at

a temperature of around 1450° C and is in partially molten state. It’s here that the four main constituent of

the feed are combined by chemical reaction from cement clinker.

CLINKER:

Clinker a round ball like structure is a mixture of complex compounds referred to in cements

notations as C2S C3A and C4AF.

GRATE COOLER:

Another type of cooler in common use is the grate cooler. Here in an empty cooler, the

reciprocating grate through which air is blown is visible. As the clinker moves along the grate cooler, air

cools it and the air itself cools the per-heater prior to entering the kiln, as secondary combustion is blown

through the grate. Some of this excess hot air is used to dry and convey the cool in coal fired plants and

the rest is exhausted to atmosphere after passing through dust arresting equipment. After cooling the

clinker is stored ready for grinding into cement.

CEMENT MILLING:

The mixture of clinker and Gypsum is passed to the cement mill. Outwardly, the cement ball mill

is similar to the raw mill.

The cement mill is divided into, 2 to 3 chambers by perforated steel diaphragms, each chamber

containing a range of ball sizes, because cement requires finer grinding, the smallest balls are smaller than

those used in a raw mill.

OPEN CIRCUIT MILLING:

Open Circuit Milling is often used for Ordinary Portland Cement, OPC. Here the Cement is ground

to required fineness, in one pass through the mill. 0pen Circuit mills are generally longer than closed

circuit mills for this reason. The ground cement is conveyed directly away and the mill is vented via a dust

filtration system.

CLOSED CIRCUIT MILLING:



In certain circumstances, closed circuit milling can have the advantages of consuming less power

overall. The closed circuit system is similar to that used for Raw Milling, a classifier separating out the

coarse fraction of the product and returning it to the mill for further grinding. This is particularly suitable

for rapid hardening cement RHC, which should to be ground very finely.

STORAGE:

From the milling system, the cement is often pumped through pipes by what is basically a screw

fed blower. The high speed screw delivers the cement into a high volume air flow provided by

compressors. The air conveys the cement along a pipeline to storage silos.

DISPATCH:

Cement is bagged, prior to bulk dispatch by either rail or road. The latest packing plants are fully

automatic. For packing, various types of the bags are used like HDPE, polythene bags, paper bags

From the survey conducted in and around Bagalkot region and the opinions collected from

Engineers, Contractors, Individuals and Dealers, the company’s environment scenario can be examined by

SWOT analysis

STRENGTH:

1. It’s more workable in Coastal area.

2. Abundance of Lime stone (raw material) available in the region.

3. Its local brand & can be capitalized around Bagalkot surrounding area.

THREATS:

public to stop the production.

means of transporting (for e.g. railways)

3. Due to environmental problem and global warming there is shortage of rain in the state, which will

affect the generation of power. The company has to solely depend on its DC.

4. As the utilization of Slag in the production of Bagalkot Shakti is more vital, the problem occurs

5.2 OBSERVATION AND SUGGESTIONS

After conducting the market survey on the company’s brand cement “Bagalkot Shakti” in and

around Bagalkot region the following observation are made:

Out of the sample size of 25 dealers given to me, I could meet 20 dealers, for this the reasons being

some of them have shifted their shop to other areas and few were out of station.

1) The colour of the Bagalkot Cement is one of the major causes for its poor sale in Bagalkot

district. Most of the dealers are unsatisfied with the present color of the cement, they complain about the

whitish color of the cement after curing, which is not desired by Contractors/Engineer/Builders and

individual Customers.

2) Next to this, huge problem of advertisement, which when compared with other brands of

cement like ACC, Vasavadatta, JK, Rajeshree and Keshav is very stumpy. So it becomes very essential for

Bagalkot cement to widen its advertising campaign.

3) Instability in the rate of cement is affecting the sales pattern and this to some extent harming

the credibility of Bagalkot Cement in the market.

4) Bagalkot, Badami, Bilagi, Mudhol, Jamkhandi, Hunagund, Ilkal, Markets are to a large extent

dominated by Acc cement. It is due to aggressive advertisement and hectic sales promotion and large

amount of incentives given to dealers. In these areas sale of Bagalkot cement is poor and public awareness

is also not up to the level. It is due to absence of technical seminars and frequent dealers meet.



5) In cities like the above mentioned, ACC which has brand awareness and its high perceived

quality stands first. People in such places find paying a buck more rather than go for other brands. But

dealers here are not satisfied with the supply of those cements.

SUGGESTIONS RELATING TO COST ANALYSIS

As prime cost, cost of production are increasing in the firm exercise cost reduction and cost control

techniques like material control, labor control, over head control, capital control.

1. As the raw material cost is increasing the firm should use new techniques to reduce it like,

a) the firm allowed near to the sources of raw material

b) Reducing raw material using in production down time.

1. Company should select effective & cheaper market techniques. It helps to reduces cost of goods

sold.

2. Company should try to increase its profit and at least maintain this type of financial position.

3. Company should control its fixed costs its help to reduce the cost of production.

4. Company try to increase wealth maximization, BCIL has less manpower comparing to work load

so BCIL has to recruit skilled worker to improve the quality of the work



5.3 CONCLUSION

India is a largest consumer of cement in the word, India is 3 rd largest producer with total

production capacity exceeding 102.2 MT, including mini sector. China & Japan stands first & second in

the world in the production of cement.

.

In this study the attempt is to made analysis of the sample unit. Since the BCIL Ltd is facing

heavy competition in an around area of the region, it is essential to focus on the aspect of cost, profitability

etc.

It should try to increase wealth maximization, Cost production is increase it will effect to profit

and sale of cement, Cost accounting is a recent development. It is the branch of financial accounting. It

maintain the records unit wise, process wise, job wise department wise, we can easily control in reduction

of costs by preparation of the statement unit wise or job wise.
