CHAPTER 1: SITUATION ANALYSIS 1. PREAMBLE: The objective of this study is to gain transparency of the Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) scenario in the Greater Mumbai region, forecast future trends and thereby establish a base for consequent strategy development. Greater Mumbai has been divided into 3 market zones, viz., Mumbai City, Thane and Navi Mumbai. These zones are depicted in Chart 1.1.

Chart 1.1: Greater Mumbai Zones

RMC is defined as ready-mix concrete plants set-up by private parties for sale of concrete to other users; where as, batching plants are defined as concrete production units set-up by “building contractors/ construction companies”, primarily for captive consumption. Data for this study has been collected from RMC players, contractors, large construction companies, architects, end-users (like, individual house builders), raw material suppliers, government bodies, etc.

This chapter presents the situation analysis of this study. While Chapter 2 discusses strategic implications, Chapters 3 and 4 are dedicated to zonal market profiles and player profiles, respectively. Annexure 1 describes the methodology adopted to derive the demand for concrete. Annexure 2 details some major projects in Greater Mumbai Region. Annexure 3 gives the estimated forecast of cement and concrete demand. 2. THE BUSINESS 2.1 RMC INDUSTRY STRUCTURE The RMC industry is analysed using Porter’s five forces model.

Rivalry among existing competitors Rivalry among existing competitors in Greater Mumbai is high. There are two categories of RMC players in the Greater Mumbai Region. Reputed players like ACC, L&T, UltraTech Ready Mix and RMC India, represent the first type and local players, the other. In the last 4 years, the number of RMC plants has increased from 13 to 37. Bargaining power of buyers RMC buyers can be classified in 3 distinct segments:

Individual House Builders

Institutional Builders (Housing and Commercial Complex Contractors/ Construction Companies and Factories/ Industrial units)

Infrastructure related Construction Companies.

Bargaining power of suppliers

Threat of new entrants

Threat of substitute products

Rivalry among existing competitors

Bargaining power of buyers

07101 1.3

Individual House Builders primarily use on-site-mixed concrete (OMC). Institutional Builders are generally found to be the largest users of RMC. Infrastructure related construction companies mostly have their own batching plants and use RMC on a need basis, i.e., they buy RMC when they are unable to produce enough concrete in-house. RMC users, in Greater Mumbai have low-medium brand loyalty, however are in a position to dictate prices, as switching-costs are virtually non-existent. This, along with presence of price undercutting by local players, has led to the buyers having substantial power in influencing the RMC prices in this region. Bargaining power of suppliers The most important cost component in RMC is the price of cement. On account of high demand - low supply conditions, cement retail prices have increased from around Rs 160 - 170/- bag in FY 2003 to around Rs 255 - 265/- bag in FY 2007. Cement prices have increased across all customer-segments and markets, due to low supply – high demand pressure. In other words, cement companies have increased prices not only for RMC producers, but also for all cement users. While the bargaining power of cement is high, the bargaining power of other raw material suppliers (such as sand, aggregates etc.) is relatively low on account of abundant availability. Almost all RMC players are using hired transit mixers and pumps, in addition to their own. Thus, their dependence on the hire sources is relatively high. It is therefore seen that the bargaining power of such transit mixer and pump sources is rather high, a fact manifested by progressively increasing rental values. Threat of substitutes Concrete, as a product, has no known substitutes. However, concrete made by batching plants and on-site-mix can, for all practical purposes, be considered as substitutes for RMC. Threat of new entrants Entry cost into the RMC industry is rather low-medium. With availability of land (in Navi Mumbai and Thane) for putting up a RMC unit on lease and transit mixers & pump on hire, the initial investment cost is rather low. However, in Mumbai City, land availability at a reasonable lease rate is a major constraint in recent times, and thus the low financial returns discourages players from setting up of a new RMC plant in this zone. According local regulations, batching plants are only allowed to be set up for meeting the concrete requirements of a specific infrastructure project and need to be disbanded as soon as the project is completed. RMC plants in Greater Mumbai are located in all the zones. Over the last 4 years, RMC plants have increased almost three-fold and are expected to increase even further. Given the initial low investment cost and gestation period (3-4 months), the threat of new entrants is consequently rather high. Conclusion Structural analysis of the RMC industry indicates buyer-dominated price-sensitivity, high dependence on cement sources, easy availability of substitutes and a high threat of new entrants. All this is manifested in an EBIDTA margin of around 10-11 %. Given these

07101 1.4

margins and the market characteristics, the RMC business in the target markets, appears to be in a growth phase. 2.2 PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE The Product Life Cycle (PLC) of the RMC market is examined in this section. All the zones are plotted on a PLC curve for inter-zone comparison. There are four distinct stages of this curve. These are:

Entry Stage: This is the stage when a product is introduced to the market. Sales growth is low. Profits are nearly non-existent in this stage.

Growth Stage: In this stage a rapid growth takes place due to market acceptance. Profits show a gradual improvement.

Saturation Stage: This is a period of slowdown in sales growth because the product has achieved acceptance by most potential buyers. Profits, generally, stabilize at this stage.

Decline Stage: In this stage, sales show a down drift.

Chart 1.2: Zone wise RMC Product Life Cycle

RMC as a percentage of total concrete is seen to be the highest in Mumbai City. Navi Mumbai is the second highest in terms of RMC percentage of total concrete, followed by Thane which is the lowest in terms of RMC percentage of total concrete. RMC penetration in Navi Mumbai and Thane are at the take-off stage. Monthly estimates of zone-wise Concrete demand and RMC supply for FY 2007 is given in Table 1.1. The estimated RMC supply is based on information gathered from RMC plants.

Table 1.1: Estimated Zone wise Concrete requirement and RMC supply – FY 2007 Mumbai City displays a higher RMC %, not only on account of the type and volume of new construction but also the proximity of RMC sources. The dependence on RMC for concreting is highest (compared to other zones) due space constraint for setting up batching plants and material storages. Mumbai City is witnessing high construction growth in terms of infrastructure and residential projects. Construction of flyovers and concreting & widening of roads is under way to decongest the current high traffic congestion. There are around 30 old textile mills in this zone, which have been acquired by almost every big builder and developer of Mumbai. These mills are now being converted to high-rise residential buildings after demolishing the existing old buildings. Majority of the RMC plants are located in this zone and the demand for concrete in this zone is very high. The zone also has the highest RMC consumption. Navi Mumbai displays second highest RMC %. Currently in this zone, intense construction activity is limited to northern part of the zone, areas such as Nerul, Vashi, Khargarh, etc. This zone is witnessing infrastructure development along with residential and commercial projects. Major builders & developers have already started working on acquiring land for their housing projects. Most of the projects under construction in this zone have their own batching plants, specifically infrastructure projects. Navi Mumbai has the second highest number of plants, after Mumbai City,. This zone has tremendous potential in the coming years due to boom in construction of mega projects such as SEZ, international airport, mass housing plan, etc. Thane displays the lowest RMC % among all the zones. This zone is witnessing construction growth particularly of residential projects as most of the builders and developers have now shifted focus from Mumbai City towards Thane. Moreover, availability of land for construction of new projects is not a constraint in this zone, which presents a very good opportunity for construction growth. RMC consumption in this zone is the lowest as compared to the other two zones. One of the reasons could be that there are only three RMC plants in this zone, out of which two are partly dedicated for their own consumption. Almost all the zones have seen rapid construction in the recent years. Large-scale housing and commercial complexes have mushroomed, property prices have spiraled upwards and infrastructure development has also been high.

3. THE MARKETS 3.1 TOTAL MARKET SIZE - CONCRETE Greater Mumbai The estimated market size of concrete, in Greater Mumbai, in FY 2003 and FY 2007 is given in Chart 1.3. The concrete market size, for both the periods, has been estimated based on cement consumed for concreting works and by using construction norms. More details on the methodology are given in Annexure 1. Concrete spend has been estimated based on average prices and proportion of concrete produced by batching plants, on site mixers and RMC.

Chart 1.3: Estimated Concrete Market Size- Greater Mumbai (per annum)

The concrete market size (volume) has increased by an average 6 % pa during the past 4 years. The low growth is attributed to the overall low cement growth (average of 6 % pa in the last 4 years) in Greater Mumbai. The concrete spend per cu m has increased by around 10 % pa. This is mainly attributed to the increase in cement prices. Cement retail prices have increased by around 12 % pa per t over the last 4 years. The average retail price of cement, which was around Rs 3,300 per t in FY 2003, is currently seen to be around 5,200 per t. Moreover, cost of other input materials have also increased in last 4 years. 3.2 TOTAL MARKET SIZE - RMC The estimated market size of RMC, in Greater Mumbai, in FY 2003 and FY 2007 is given in Chart 1.4. The information for FY 2007 is based on April 2006- March 2007 data collected during the market survey.

Chart 1.4: Estimated RMC Market Size- Greater Mumbai (per annum)

RMC has seen a good growth in its sales volume over the past 4 years (an average of around 30 % pa). While market demand has obviously been a contributing factor, the increase is possibly more supply-driven, i.e., more attributable to the increase in the number of RMC plants. In FY 2003 there were 13 plants with a total capacity of 1,040 cu m/ hr (around 191,000 cu m/ month), whereas, at present the number of plants have increased to 37 with a total capacity of around 2,110 cu m/ hr (393,500 cu m/ month). Though the number of plants has increased 3-folds, the capacity has only doubled. The main reason for this is that the new plants are mostly of 30 cu m/ hr and 60 cu m/ hr capacity, and some of the large capacity plants that existed in FY 2003 have closed. RMC plants are located in all the zones of Greater Mumbai, which has facilitated in increasing the RMC consumption due to better supply from plants within each zone. The overall RMC spend per cu m has increased by almost 5 % pa. As mentioned earlier, cement prices have increased by around 12 % pa during the past 4 years and the price of other input materials have also risen during the same period. This indicates that RMC players are earning a lower EBIDTA margin in FY 2007 than what they were earning in FY 2003 (over 20 %) and they have not been able to pass on the increase in input materials cost to the consumers. Given the high volume growth of RMC (30 % pa in the last 4 years), it can be inferred that increase in the number of RMC suppliers leads to an increase in consumption. 3.3 RMC PRODUCT MIX AND PRICES RMC companies produce almost all grades of concrete, starting from M 7.5 to M 50. The most commonly produced grades are M 25, M 30, M 35 and M 40. These grades constitute around 85 - 90 % of their product mix. The grade wise product mix is shown in Chart 1.5.

Chart 1.5: RMC Product Mix

RMC suppliers are of 2 categories, viz., reputed and local. Players like, ACC, UltraTech Ready Mix, RMC India and L&T fall under the “reputed supplier” category, whereas, other RMC players fall under the “local supplier” category. Prices of “reputed suppliers” are seen to be slightly higher than that of “local suppliers”. The current grade-wise average RMC prices are given in Table 1.2.

Note: Prices are in Rs/ cu m and without tax, but including pumping and average transportation costs Table 1.2: Average RMC Prices

Delivered prices of RMC in Navi Mumbai are lower, primarily on account of lower input material costs (i.e. sand and aggregate), as the sources of these raw materials are closer to these plants. Delivered prices of RMC in other zones (i.e. Mumbai City and Thane) are higher due to high input material cost compared to Navi Mumbai. However, the “local RMC suppliers” tend to have slightly lower prices as they have relatively lower overheads and often produce lower quality of concrete. 3.4 CUSTOMER SEGMENTATION AND MARKET SHARE The customer base of RMC is depicted in Chart 1.6 and segment-wise market share of RMC is given in Chart 1.7.

07101 1.9

Chart 1.6: RMC Customer Base

The above chart indicates that RMC players dispatch higher volumes to the institutional segment, followed by the infrastructure segment. Dispatches to IHB segment is virtually non-existent, as new construction in this segment is minimal and is primarily in and around Panvel in Navi Mumbai. Greater Mumbai is characterized by multistory residential with very few individual houses.

Chart 1.7: Segment wise Market Share of RMC RMC has a highest penetration in the Institutional segment. This is due to the fact that majority of the projects undertaken by this segment have a very tight construction schedule which in effect results in fast paced construction. Therefore, to keep up with the construction pace, consumers in the Institutional segment also procure RMC, in addition to concrete prepared by their own batching plants. RMC presence in the Infrastructure segment is low. The low presence in this segment is attributed to this segment being well equipped with their own batching plants, and they only purchase RMC in the event of breakdown of their own batching plants or during the peak concrete demand when they are unable to produce the desired concrete quantity.

RMC has a no penetration in the IHB segment in Greater Mumbai. This is because the IHB segment is virtually non-existent in Greater Mumbai. Multi story residential buildings primarily fulfill residential needs of Greater Mumbai. 3.5 RMC vs BATCHING PLANT IN GREATER MUMBAI Institutional and Infrastructure segments consume almost the entire RMC produced by all the players in Greater Mumbai. However, majority of the concrete demand in these segments is fulfilled by captive batching plants. These batching plants are mostly located on site or at a short distance from the site. RMC is also consumed over and above the concrete produced by these batching plants, either when their batching plant are shutdown or when there is a shortfall in quantity produced by them. The typical cost of M 30 grade concrete produced by a RMC plant and a Batching plant is given in Table 1.3 and Table 1.4, respectively.

Table 1.4: Typical concrete producing cost for Batching Plant From the above tables it is evident that the cost of concrete produced by RMC plant is higher than that of a batching plant by around 14 % for OPC and around 13 % for PPC. However, taking into account the VAT levied, the difference between the landed price of RMC and the landed price of concrete produced by batching plant, increases to around 27 % for OPC and around 26 %. This substantial price difference is a significant reason for consumers to opt for setting up their own batching plant for their major concrete requirements and only procure concrete from RMC suppliers in case of shortfall. Apart from the price difference, the fact that RMC is generally unavailable at short notice, large contractors prefer to have their own batching plant to keep up with their construction schedule rather than depend on the supply schedule of RMC suppliers. Majority of contractors and builders believe that the quality of RMC is comparable to concrete produced by their own batching plants, thus have a perception that the quality of RMC is over-rated vis-à-vis it’s price. This perception has further contributed to their preference for concrete produced by their own batching plants, instead of using RMC. Despite the perceived advantages of batching plant over RMC, consumers still buy concrete from RMC suppliers when they have requirement of higher grades of concrete (M45 and above) and when they are unable to produce desired quantity in their peak construction time. On site batching plants of smaller capacity are not equipped to produce higher grades of concrete with reliable quality. When there is a space constraint to setup a batching plant, contractors prefer RMC, as cost of managing the batching plant at a distant location would result in increased overall cost of construction and additional man management burden. 3.6 RMC – FACILITATING AND HINDERING FACTORS The major facilitating and hindering factors that have influenced RMC consumption in Greater Mumbai, in recent years, are: Facilitating Factors

The presence of increased number of RMC plants has led to increased RMC availability.

The boom in the construction of high-rise buildings has led to higher usage of concrete. Builders, apart from using concrete produced by their own batching plants, often make use of externally purchased RMC.

RMC offers good consistent quality for all kinds of concreting jobs. This leads to lower maintenance of the structure over its life. Builders, architects and structural engineers are aware of RMC and its advantages. This is borne out by the price premiums enjoyed by these players. This is, possibly, an important facilitating factor.

07101 1.12

To improve reliable availability, RMC players have stated their willingness to set up plants at their customers’ sites to achieve single source supply. This has ensured that these builders only use RMC (against them setting up a batching plant). An example of such a business model being implemented is UltraTech Concrete setting up its plant for captive consumption by HCC project for B L Kashyap in Kanjur, ACC for JVLR project, ACC for Lodha Builders in Lower Parel and L&T Concrete for residential project in Goregaon.

Construction contactors, involved in infrastructure projects, have their own batching plants. In peak concrete usage periods, these contractors also use RMC.

The reduced man management required in construction using RMC is a facilitating factor for the product. The builders recognize and appreciate this advantage.

Lack of space to store large quantity of aggregate, sand, cement, etc has also facilitated higher usage of RMC in the Institutional Segment. An example of this is the higher penetration of RMC in Mumbai City.

Credit facility offered by RMC suppliers. Hindering Factors

Higher delivered cost of RMC is one of the main reasons for the Institutional Segment (Housing and Commercial Complex) preferring concrete produced by own batching plants/ mixers to that produced by RMC players. The estimated cost of concrete (M-30 grade) produced by batching plants/ mixers (including pumping cost) is around 21% lower as compared to the average delivered price of RMC.

High traffic congestion especially in Mumbai City is a deterrent factor for higher penetration of RMC.

Night concreting is mostly opposed by the residents, due to noise created by concrete pumps. Thus no concreting work is believed to be done beyond 8:00 PM.

As per the traffic regulations, transit mixers are not allowed to carry more than 5 cu m of concrete. This increases the delivered cost of RMC, as the transportation cost has to be appropriated over 5 cu m/ trip instead of 6–7 cu m/ trip (i.e., utilizing its full carrying capacity).

Inability of most RMC players to deliver concrete at short notices acts as a deterrent.

Lack of sales promotional activities. Despite the hindering factors, RMC business has seen a growth in the past few years on account of the overriding facilitating factors. Most small sized contractors and the IHB segment are not very particular about quality. Low price is the main influencing factor for them to choose an RMC supplier. 3.7 ZONE-WISE ACCEPTANCE OF RMC Mumbai City is the highest consumer of RMC. However, in this zone, RMC has a share (of the total concrete market) of 31 %. Concrete requirement of this zone is fulfilled by the batching plants setup on site and RMC plants. Highest concrete requirement of this zone vis-à-vis the other zones, along with new construction and presence of RMC players are the main facilitators for RMC penetration.

07101 1.13

Navi Mumbai is the second largest RMC consuming zone in Greater Mumbai. This zone also has the second highest RMC/ total concrete share of around 9 %. Construction is on a high in this zone, especially in the northern part of Navi Mumbai (i.e. Nerul, Vashi, etc). This zone also has the second highest number of RMC plants among all the zones. Thane is the lowest consumer of RMC. RMC has a share (of the total concrete market) of around 7 %, which is the lowest penetration among all the zones. Construction is on a high in this zone, but this is of recent times. The batching plants meet most of the concrete requirement in this zone. This is the primary reason for the low RMC share/ penetration. Moreover, this zone has the least number of RMC plants (only 3 nos.), out of which two plants are partially dedicated for projects. Considering the quantum and type of future projects specifically the new international airport proposed, this zone offers a good potential for RMC usage. Detailed information about each zonal market is given in Chapter 3 of this report. 4. THE PLAYERS 4.1 OVERVIEW An overview of the number of RMC players in Greater Mumbai is given in Table 1.5.

Table 1.6: RMC Cluster-wise Zones Serviced

From Chart 1.8 and Table 1.6 it may be easily inferred that the distance to a high RMC consumption zone is very important while determining the location of a new plant. The following illustration depicts the importance of proximity of a plant to a market.

Chart 1.9: Illustration depicting importance of proximity of a RMC plant to a market The above illustration shows the weighted average unit transport costs (in Rs/ cu m of RMC) of various inputs (Cement, Aggregates, Sand, etc) to an RMC plant and the different freights to different markets. In a general case, the choice of a plant location could be optimized by minimizing the input plus output transportation costs. In Greater Mumbai, since the delivered cost of major inputs, which subsumes their transport components, varies within a range of + 10 %, the distance/ freight cost of the input material to the plant site and the freight cost of RMC to the market gains more importance while selecting a plant location/ site.

4.3 CATEGORIES OF RMC PLAYERS There are two categories of RMC players, in Greater Mumbai, viz., Reputed RMC players and Local RMC players. Table 1.7 classifies all the RMC players in these two categories.

Reputed RMC Players Local RMC Players • ACC • L&T Concrete • UltraTech Concrete (previously known

as Birla Readymix) • RMC India

• ABL RMC • Blue Star RMC • Chirag Readymix • Godrej • IVRCL • Jindal RMC • J M Mahatre • Jyoti RMC

• RCC Concrete • S C Thakur • Shree RMC • Shree Naman • Instacrete • Saket RMC • Tarmat RMC

Table 1.7: List of Reputed and Other RMC Players The two categories of players have been graded in Table 1.8 based on the feedback from the market.

Table 1.8: Grading of Reputed Vs Local Players Some important observations are:

Local players are perceived to have a lower product range than reputed players

In terms of delivery time and market coverage, both the categories of players are perceived to have the same capability.

The quality of RMC produced by reputed players is considered better than that produced by local players. This is also the reason why users are willing to give a premium to the RMC supplied by reputed players.

Parameter-wise grading of reputed players is given in Table 1.9.

L&T Concrete, UltraTech and ACC are perceived to deliver RMC anywhere in the Greater Mumbai. However, amongst these 3 players, L&T is perceived to have higher market coverage.

L&T is perceived to have a faster delivery time.

L&T, followed by UltraTech and ACC, are considered to be expending greater promotional as compared to other players.

4.4 PRACTICES FOLLOWED BY LOCAL RMC PLAYERS There is no significant difference in the practices of local players and reputed players in Greater Mumbai. They generally try to follow the same practices as that followed by reputed RMC players. However, some of the practices followed by them are listed below:

Often the local players agree to supply concrete at low prices. However, to make profit, these players either supply a lower grade of concrete or change the design mix such that lesser quantity of cement is used.

These players, sometimes, are reported to deal in cash, whereby the customer gets a lower price and the RMC player does not have to pay taxes. The delivered price quoted by the local players for cash sales is lower than prices that reputed players offer.

Some of the infrastructure contractors and builders who have their own batching plants also supply concrete to other builders during their own lean concrete requirement period. They charge a 10 % profit margin over the production cost of the concrete. Concrete is delivered without charging VAT. These players only deal in cash.

There is no directive that indicates that a “weights and inspection” body is constituted to oversee the quality of concrete being produced by RMC players. If such a body were to be functional, local RMC players would not be able to follow some of the practices that reduce the quality of concrete. In such an event, the phenomenon of under-cutting price at the cost of quality would, possibly, be minimized. The RMC Association of India, situated in Mumbai, is a defunct organization. It neither has any information about the production or capacities of RMC players in India, nor does it play any developmental/ regulatory role in the building of the comparatively nascent industry. 4.5 ESTIMATED COST OF PRODUCTION OF POPULAR GRADES AND EBIDTA

MARGIN OF REPUTED PLAYERS AND LOCAL PLAYERS The cost of production (COP) and EBIDTA margin is estimated assuming the following:

RMC players are using both OPC and PPC.

VAT paid on input material is offset against VAT chargeable on selling price.

07101 1.18

M-30 is the most popular concrete grade produced by RMC players. COP calculations have therefore been estimated for this grade.

4.7 TYPES OF CEMENT USED Both OPC and PPC are used to make concrete. Consumers can choose between OPC based concrete or PPC based concrete, as per their design requirements. ACC uses both OPC and PPC. Taking into account the product mix of cement supplied to Greater Mumbai and practices of RMC players, the ratio of OPC: PPC usage in producing RMC is “guesstimated” as 50:50. 5. OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE 5.1 DEMAND 5.1.1 SALIENT FEATURES OF THE PROPOSED MASTER PLAN OF MASTER PLAN

FOR GREATER MUMBAI REGION AND ITS IMPACT ON RMC Greater Mumbai region comprises of Mumbai City, Thane and Navi Mumbai. Salient features of the Master Plan of Greater Mumbai region are as under:

07101 1.20

Master Plan facilitates land re-usage, which would enable usage of large excess land of old textile mills, Bombay Port Trust (BPT) and land under BPT warehousing to be utilised for both residential as well as commercial purposes.

Old existing buildings are to be demolished and reconstructed with 2.4 times of the permissible Floor Space Index (FSI). Incase of buildings of Government/ Semi- Government and Public Sector Units (PSU), additional 50 % of permissible FSI will be allowed.

A higher FSI is also proposed for slum development projects.

Dharavi slums are to be developed for commercial and residential usage at an estimated cost of Rs 9,250 Crores.

Old buildings, which cannot be demolished due to their architectural and aesthetic values, are to be redeveloped by internal restructuring and redesigning.

Export Processing Zones are to be developed on BPT land near Jawaharlal Nehru Port, in Navi Mumbai.

Total investment on infrastructure development is estimated to be around Rs 10,500 Crores, over a period of 10 years. Rs 2,648 Crores to be invested for infrastructure development in next 3 – 4 years on the projects mentioned below:

10 new-elevated roads are to be constructed to ease the traffic congestion. 41 flyovers to be constructed for smoother flow of traffic. 16 new Railway Over Bridges (ROB) to be constructed to eliminate the existing

railway level crossings. 10 vehicular subways are planned in areas where grade separators are not feasible. 56 pedestrian subways are to be constructed for safe passage of pedestrians.

Apart from the above, the other major projects/ development plans under implementation/ envisaged in Greater Mumbai region are:

A new International Airport is being planned near Panvel and construction work is expected to start by next year.

A new international airport is in the early stages of planning at Thane and is spread over 1800 acres of land.

Anil Ambani led consortium will build the first corridor, of Mumbai Metro Rail Project, at an estimated cost of Rs 2,356 Crores.

Bandra – Worli sea link is under construction.

Jogeshwari – Vikhroli link road is under construction.

Santa Cruz – Chembur link road is under planning stage.

Reliance Industries will setup a SEZ spread over 3,200 acres with an investment of Rs 25,000 Crores.

A new Mumbai – Navi Mumbai six-lane Trance Harbour link is planned at an estimated investment of Rs 4,000 Crores.

City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) has planned a new mass residential project “Seawood Estate”, which will have around 2,000 apartments.

07101 1.21

Private builders and developers are constructing many projects and also have plans for more residential and commercial projects in Greater Mumbai.

Implications for RMC The use of batching plants/ RMC plants is expected to augment significantly as a result of new projects planned in Greater Mumbai region. Contractors involved in these projects will use their batching plants or alternatively foster tie-ups with RMC players to meet the “contractors’ selection criteria”. Contractors involved in infrastructure projects, during mass concrete requirement, will continue to use RMC. RMC is expected to get a boost due to the projects under implementation and upcoming new projects 5.1.2 FUTURE SCENARIO Construction in Greater Mumbai is expected to grow at a high rate in the next decade. This section gives a macro overview of the envisaged development in each zone. Mumbai City Construction activities in Mumbai City are scattered all across the zone. Major builders and developers like Lodhas, Godrej Properties, etc. have started new projects in this zone, particularly in areas in and around Parel, which has around 30 old textile mills. These mills have been bought over by major builders and would be demolished to give way for the new multistory residential as well as commercial projects. Apart from this, Bnadra- Kurla Complex is the most sort after destination for construction of corporate offices and five star hotels, due to its vicinity to the airport. Infrastructure development is also in full swing in this zone. Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is undertaking projects to convert all the bitumen roads to concrete roads. New flyovers are being constructed, both on the Eastern as well as Western Expressway, to reduce the existing high traffic congestion. To further facilitate smooth flow of traffic, a sea link project is being undertaken by Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), which would connect Bandra to Worli and another trans-harbour sea link is being planned from Sevri to Nhava in Navi Mumbai. Construction activities are also envisaged to accelerate in the coming years, as a Slum Rehabilitation Program, Dharavi (Asia’s largest slum) is initiated to develop this area into 5 new self-sufficient townships at an estimated cost of Rs 9,250 Crores. Apart from this private builders and developers have also planned their new multistory residential and commercial projects in this zone. Navi Mumbai Navi Mumbai was conceived as and developed to ease the growing pressure for residential and commercial space on Mumbai City. It is considered as the world’s largest planned city. Currently, most of the construction related development has been taking place in the northern part of this zone.

07101 1.22

City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) have planned a new Mass Residential project “Seawood Estate”, which will have around 2,000 apartments. CIDCO is has also planned to allot around 650 acres of land for individual housing, under their housing project scheme. A new International Airport is also planned at Panvel, which would ease the current heavy aviation traffic at the existing Mumbai airport. The construction of the airport is expected to start by 2008. Reliance Industries has planned its Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in this zone. The work for this project is expected to start by the end of 2007. The SEZ will be spread over 3,200 acres and is expected to be developed at an estimated investment of Rs 25,000 Crores. This cost excludes further investment by various companies who will be opening their establishments within the SEZ. To facilitate easy access from the SEZ to Mumbai City, a six-lane Trans-Harbour sea link road has been planned at an investment cost of Rs 4,000 Crores. A new railway corridor is planned to till Jawahalal Nehru Port. Based on the planned development of this zone, Navi Mumbai is envisaged to experience a substantial growth in construction activities in future. Thane Compared to other zones, construction activities in Thane are of recent origin. Currently the major construction activity is around Ghodbander Road. All the RMC plants in Thane are located in this area only. Private builders and developers have commenced constructing multistory residential and commercial projects in this area. A major residential cum commercial project currently underway in this zone is being constructed by Hiranandani Developers (Hiranandani Estate). This project is being planned as a modern township, on similar lines to that of Hiranandani Gardens in Powai. Apart from the above, a international airport is being planned for this zone. The government is in the process of acquiring 1,800 acres of land for the airport project. Construction is expected to commence after the Navi Mumbai airport gets commissioned. A Mass Rapid Transport System (MRTS) is also being planned for this zone. Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation has been appointed as a nodal agency for carrying out the necessary studies and implementing the project. Due to good connectivity of Thane with Mumbai City (through the Eastern expressway), construction activities in this zone are envisaged to pick up in the near future. Most major builders and developers have announced their plans of constructing multistoryed residential and commercial projects. 5.1.3 Concrete Consumption – Zone Wise and Segment Wise The estimated concrete demand forecast in FY 2009 and FY 2012 is given in Table 1.13 and Table 1.14 below.

Table 1.14: Estimated Concrete Requirement in FY 2012

Concrete consumption in Navi Mumbai, after 5 years, is estimated to overtake Mumbai City as the former is envisaged to grow at a higher rate. Thane has a low concrete base and its concrete consumption in FY 2012 is also estimated to be lower than that of the other 2 zonal markets. The institutional segment is envisaged to continue consuming the highest volume of concrete in the future. This seems plausible given the envisaged construction trend in all the zones. 5.1.4 Envisaged Product Life Cycle and Market Share of RMC Players The product life cycle in FY 2012 is estimated based on the following rationale:

The Greater Mumbai is witnessing a boom in construction and RMC usage. RMC volume in Greater Mumbai has grown by around 30 %, pa since FY 2003. Growth in RMC demand is attributed to growth in construction activity all across Greater Mumbai.

Given the construction practices in India, RMC is envisaged to command a maximum of 70 % market share in the future. The zone-wise maximum RMC share is based on the following three hypothesis:

The higher a zone on its Product Life Cycle, the higher the concrete to RMC conversion till it reaches its saturation point/ maximum conversion point

The concrete to RMC conversion rate is dependent upon the type and quantum of construction and thus the volume of concrete consumed

The concrete to RMC conversion rate is dependent construction practices Rate of conversion growth is also depended upon the presence or absence of

inhibitors, e.g., thoroughfare for RMC Transit Mixers, traffic congestion, etc.

The envisaged zone-wise maximum RMC market shares, irrespective of the year in which it materializes, are given in Table 1.15:

07101 1.24

ZONE MAXIMUM RMC SHARE Mumbai City 60 % Mumbai City is witnessing new construction, particularly in the Institutional segment. Land re-usage, as proposed in the Master Plan has opened new avenues for builders and developers. The builders have acquired the old textile mills in this zone for constructing new residential and commercial projects. Infrastructure development is also on a high in this zone and new flyovers, ROBs, subways, etc., are planned for this zone. Mumbai Metro Rail Project will be constructed with Government and private participation. This project will be constructed by Anil Ambani led consortium. The construction is envisaged to intensify in coming years and would last for at least another 5-7 years. On the basis of the socio-economic profile, RMC is envisaged to command a market share of around 75 % in the Institutional segment. Infrastructure activities are increasing. RMC players should target supplying around 40 % of the concrete needs of this segment. Navi Mumbai 65% Navi Mumbai is considered as the world’s largest planned city. Currently construction growth has been limited to the northern parts of this zone. CIDCO has been instrumental in developing this zone in a planned and phased manner. It has now planned a Mass Residential project, “Seawood Estate”, which will have 2,000 apartments. Reliance Industries has planned a SEZ spread over 3,200 acres at an estimated investment of Rs 25,000 Crores. A new International Airport has also been planned near Panvel, and construction is expected to start by 2008. On the basis of the socio-economic profile, RMC is envisaged to command a market share of over 25 % in the IHB segment and 80% in the Institutional segment. RMC players should target supplying around 50 % of the concrete needs of the Infrastructure segment. Thane 65% Thane has the lowest number of RMC plants in Greater Mumbai region. This has affected RMC penetration and this zone has the lowest RMC consumption in Greater Mumbai region. Currently, Thane is witnessing new construction along Ghodbander Road. Thane Municipal Corporation has recognized the need to develop a public transportation system and has appointed Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation as a nodal agency for carrying out the necessary studies and implementing the project. A new airport has been proposed, which is at the planning stage, and construction activities are envisaged to commence after the Navi Mumbai international airport is functional. On the basis of the socio-economic profile, RMC is envisaged to command a market share of 5 % - 10 % in the IHB segment and 75 % - 80 % in the Institutional segment. RMC players should target supplying around 50 % of the concrete needs of the Infrastructure segment.

The zone-wise product life cycles are given in Charts 1.10 to 1.12. For each zone, three scenarios are created (optimistic, realistic and pessimistic) where RMC reaches its peak.

MUMBAI CITY

Chart 1.10: Envisaged future PLC of RMC in Mumbai City RMC is envisaged to reach it’s peak anywhere between 2014-15 and 2019-20. Taking a 5-year perspective, RMC should have a market share, anywhere between 35 - 40 %, in 2011-12. The range of market share translates into a volume of 261,050 – 335,635 cu m/ month. NAVI MUMBAI

Chart 1.12: Envisaged future PLC of RMC in Thane

RMC is envisaged to reach it’s peak anywhere between 2019-20 and 2024-25. Taking a 5-year perspective, RMC should have a market share anywhere between 15 - 25 % in 2011-12. The range of market share translates into a volume of 45,195 – 75,325 cu m/ month. A summary of the potential concrete volumes available to RMC players in FY 2012 is given in Table 1.16.

Zones RMC potential (in cu m/ month) Mumbai City 261,050 – 335,635 Thane 45,195 – 75,325 Navi Mumbai 133,145 – 221,910 Total Greater Mumbai 439,390 – 632,870

Table 1.16: RMC potential in 2012 Based on Table 1.16, the share of RMC in the total market for concrete, in Greater Mumbai, could increase from its current level of 18 %, to 23 % - 33% by FY 2012. The above table indicates that Mumbai City and Navi Mumbai would be the highest RMC users.

5.1.5 Share of RMC – Revisited As shown in section 5.1.4, different zones in Greater Mumbai region would see different RMC growths and the maximum share that RMC can take of the total concrete in each zone would also differ. This implies that a certain portion of the concrete market will not convert to RMC. In other words, a certain portion of the concrete market is not a potential RMC market. Thus, the total market that is open to RMC is now being termed as PRMC (Potential RMC) market. In each zone’s PRMC market size, the current and future RMC market share has been re-estimated. An example to further clarify and illustrate this concept is: “In FY 2007, the total concrete market size in Mumbai City is 391,945 cu m/ month. As given in Table 1.15, RMC in Mumbai City, at a certain time in the future, would have a maximum market share of 60 %. Therefore, the PRMC market size is 391,945 x 60 % = 235,165 cu m/ month. RMC supply to Mumbai City in FY 2007 is around 121,750 cu m/ month and its share in the PRMC market is 52 %.” Table 1.17 gives the RMC market share, zone-wise, in FY 2007 in the PRMC market.

5.2 SUPPLY 5.2.1 PROFESSIONALISM IN THE RMC INDUSTRY In the past 4 years, the number of RMC plants has increased by almost three-folds. Due low entry barriers, many local players have entered in the market. On an overall basis, Greater Mumbai RMC market is the growth stage of its product life cycle. As depicted earlier, the total concrete volume in Greater Mumbai is estimated to grow at an average rate of 16 % pa over the next 5 years. We envisage that the construction boom will attract more RMC players, including local RMC players, in the next few years. However, more professional players could displace the local RMC players. The reasons for this include the following:

Computerization of all tax payers’ returns by the Income Tax (IT) department, stricter IT norms and checks, etc will no longer enable the local RMC players to continue with their current practices (cash deals, not paying their taxes, etc).

With the institutional segment increasing, which has high awareness level, better construction practices and quality consciousness, market will force the RMC players to deliver quality concrete and be open to stricter quality checks.

There is a possibility of RMC plants being further set-up at customer sites. This will ensure lower delivered price to the customer (very low transportation cost) and better quality control by the customer. Once a project is completed, the RMC player will shift the plant to another customer’s site. There is also a similar possibility of RMC players dedicating their plant for infrastructure projects. Only plants that can deliver quality RMC will be able to adopt this business-model for the quality-conscious customers.

More cement companies are envisaged to forward integrate into RMC business. As the RMC business grows and becomes an important cement distribution channel, cement companies will want to control this channel and would open their own RMC plants.

The above scenario could discourage new local players to enter into the RMC business and put pressure on the existing players to adopt higher levels of professional business practices. 5.2.2 NEW RMC PLANTS The new RMC plants are expected to come up in the Greater Mumbai are given in Table 1.19. This list is based on the information gathered during the market survey. S. No Player Location Capacity (cu m/ hr) Year/ Remarks

11. UltraTech Concrete Mulund 30 July 2007 Table 1.19: New RMC Plants in Greater Mumbai

L&T already has a 30 cu m plant in Dahisar. A new plant of 60 cu m/ hr will be setup in the same location. RMC plants of UltraTech Concrete at Mahul and Mulund will be 100 % dedicated plants for projects. Both these plants are being considered as RMC plants, as it is a RMC player dedicating the plants to a project as a business model. 5.2.3 SUPPLY SCENARIO BY FY 2008 The estimated total RMC capacity in Greater Mumbai, location-cluster-wise by FY 2008 is given in Table 1.20. Number of Players 19 nos

Number of Plants 48 nos

Total 511,500 Table 1.20: Estimated RMC capacity location-cluster-wise - FY 2008

From the past trend, it is seen that overall capacity utilization for commercial RMC supply for all the plants in Greater Mumbai is 40 %.

07101 1.30

5.2.4 DEMAND Vs SUPPLY – FY 2012 The estimated demand scenario in FY 2012 is given in Table 1.21.

Zones RMC potential (in cu m/ month) Mumbai City 261,050 – 335,635 Thane 45,195 – 75,325 Navi Mumbai 133,145 – 221,910

Total Greater Mumbai 439,390 – 632,870 Table 1.21: Estimated Demand Scenario - FY 2012

To meet the above demand, RMC players will need to expand their capacity. The following assumptions are used to derive the number of plants required to meet this demand:

The existing plants (as per Table 1.5) will continue.

Professional players will dominate RMC capacities and thus will consider capacity expansion when the average utilisation exceeds 70 %.

New plants in Greater Mumbai will be of at least 60 cu m/ hr capacities and would work at an average capacity utilisation of 70 %.

Based on the above assumptions, all the zones in Greater Mumbai, collectively, will require an additional 12 RMC plants to meet the 439,390 cu m/ month demand, or around 39 plants to meet the 632,870 cu m/ month demand. This comparison is made against the number of plants estimated by the end of FY 2008 (refer table 1.20). The exact location/ zone where ACC can set up new RMC plants will need to be examined in the strategy development phase after taking in consideration the delivered cost of raw material, lead distance and time to various consumption centers/ zones, cost to deliver RMC and other appropriate parameters.

CHAPTER 2: STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS 1. PREAMBLE: This chapter looks at the strategic implications of the situational analysis findings presented in Chapter 1. The implications have been categorized into the following sections:

Opportunities & Threats

Key Success Factors

Input material requirements

Changing user segments

Changes in Product Mix

Prices

Changes in RMC Industry 2. OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

Opportunities RMC in Greater Mumbai is in the growth stage - more plants are needed to meet the FY

2012 demand. Differential zonal market growths would necessitate differential capacity creation in

supplying clusters, to ensure competitiveness in each consumption zone Large players could backward integrate to assume strategic control of raw

materials used to make the product. The type of construction envisaged in future would result in an upward shift of the

product mix. All the above reasons could contribute towards a higher EBIDTA margin through a

combination of higher prices and lower delivered costs.

Threats In some zonal markets, emergence of local RMC players is a possibility. This could

perpetuate the phenomenon of price undercutting and unethical practices. In these zonal markets, larger players could see low EBIDTA margins

Any increase in price could be collectively resisted by builder lobbies while insisting on high quality.

Due to increased demand, suppliers of input materials like sand, aggregates and resources such as hiring of transit mixers could attempt to enhance their prices.

Delivery constraints, resulting in lower RMC consumption could be faced in areas where traffic congestion is seen to be spiraling.

3. KEY SUCCESS FACTORS The key success factors for an RMC player, based on the current situation of RMC in the Product Life Cycle, are given below. The factors are ranked based on their relative importance.

07101 2.2

Low delivered prices

Timely delivery

Proximity to consumption centers/ zones

Quality of concrete delivered The above key success factors and their ranking will change as the RMC’s proportion to “Non RMC” increases. The most likely key success factors, in order of their relative importance, when RMC demand is higher than “Non RMC” demand, are envisaged as:

Quality of concrete

Low delivery time-period between placing an order and order fulfillment

Proximity to consumption centers/ zones

Price It is evident that soft-factors gain higher importance over price, as RMC becomes the predominant product. An RMC player should position itself and create competencies depending upon where RMC is on the Product Life Cycle and how the particular company is perceived in the market. 4. CHANGING USER SEGMENTS The envisaged RMC user segment profile/ customer base in FY 2012 is depicted in Chart 2.1.

FY 2007 FY 2012 Chart 2.1: RMC Customer Base- Greater Mumbai

Institutional: 70 % - 80 %

Infrastructure: 20 % - 25 % Infrastructure 15 %

FY 2007 FY 2012

Chart 2.2: Envisaged RMC Product Mix in FY 2012- Greater Mumbai The change in product mix has been considered based on information collected during the market survey. The change in product mix will result in higher quantity of cement being consumed to make higher grades of concrete. This in turn will marginally increase cement demand. 6. INPUT MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS The RMC demand in Greater Mumbai, in FY 2012 is estimated in the range of 439,390 – 632,870 cu m/ month. The following assumptions have been considered to estimate the input materials’ requirement:

The grade wise product mix considered is M 20: 5 %, M 25: 10 %, M 30: 25 %, M 35: 25 %, M 40: 30 % and M 45: 5 %.

The input material considered to produce the respective grades of RMC are:

In kgs per cu m of concrete Input Material M 20

Grade M 25

Grade M 30

Grade M 35

Grade M 40

Grade M 45

Grade Cement 230 260 320 360 385 420 Fly Ash 120 120 110 100 100 90 Sand 1,045 1,030 910 895 880 815 Aggregates 870 860 930 920 900 935

Table 2.1: Input Material per cu m of RMC Based on the above assumptions, the RMC industry in Greater Mumbai would require the following quantity of raw materials in FY 2012:

Cement: 151,150 – 217,710 tons/ month

Fly Ash: 46,135 – 66,450 tons/ month

07101 2.4

Sand: 400,395 – 576,700 tons/ month

Aggregates: 399,295 – 575,120 tons/ month. 7. CONCLUSION RMC in Greater Mumbai is estimated to grow from the current 166,575 cu m/ month to 439,390 – 632,870 cu m/ month by FY 2012. The major consuming zonal markets would remain as Mumbai City and Navi Mumbai. Thane is also envisaged to witness an increase in RMC consumption in future, albeit at a lower rate. To meet the FY 2012 RMC demand (439,390 – 632,870 cu m/ month), the Greater Mumbai requires 12 - 39 new RMC plants of 60 cu m/ hr capacity. In FY 2007, the number of RMC plants in Greater Mumbai was 37. The exact location/ zone where ACC can set up new RMC plants will need to be examined taking into consideration the delivered cost of raw material, lead distance and time to various consumption centers/ zones, cost to deliver RMC and other appropriate parameters. The RMC industry is likely to become more professional, with unethical practices reducing. More cement companies are envisaged to forward integrate into the RMC business. Large/ reputed RMC companies can also backward integrate by taking control of important raw materials used to make the product. This will enable them to have strategic control over input material, reduce their input material costs and increase their EBIDTA margins. The share of RMC in the PRMC (Potential RMC) market is likely to increase from the current 29 % to around 36 - 52 % by FY 2012. RMC industry is also likely to see an upward trend in prices as RMC’s share increases relative to the NRMC (Non RMC) share. Despite this optimistic future, there will also be a need to undertake cost-reduction exercises to gain competitiveness and improve the bottom line.

Market Overview The construction activities are taking place in almost all areas in this zonal market. Major builders and developers like Lodhas, Rahejas, Godrej Properties, etc., have started new projects in this zone. In Parel, 30 old textile mills have been bought over by major builders and would soon be demolished to give way for new multistory residential as well as commercial projects. Apart from this, Bandra- Kurla Complex is another sort-after destination for construction of corporate offices and five star hotels, due to its vicinity to the airport. Infrastructure development is also in taking place in this zonal market. Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has started converting all the bitumen roads to concrete roads. New flyovers are being constructed, both on the Eastern as well as Western Expressway to reduce the existing high traffic congestion. To facilitate further smooth-flow of traffic, a sea link project is being undertaken by Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), which would connect Bandra to Worli and another trans-harbour sea link project is being planned from Sevri to Nhava (in Navi Mumbai). Construction activities are envisaged to accelerate in the coming years. One of the major projects in this region would be the Slum Rehabilitation Program at Dharavi. The slums in Dharavi are believed to Asia’s largest slums, and this area is planned to be rehabilitated by developing 5 new self-sufficient townships at an estimated cost of Rs 9,250 Crores. Apart from the above, private builders and developers have also planned new multistory residential and commercial projects in this zone.

projects Presence of RMC players Perception that RMC supply reduces the time taken for project execution Perception that RMC supply reduces inventory Credit facility offered by RMC suppliers (approx. 30 days) No traffic restrictions on the movement of Transit Mixers during daytime No traffic congestion

Hindering Factors

Higher delivered price of RMC, compared to concrete produced by batching plants Owning a batching plant by a contractor is a prerequisite, in most cases, to qualify for

infrastructure project Preference of institutional and infrastructure segment to consume concrete produced

by their own batching plants over RMC The concrete carrying capacity of a transit mixers has been limited to 5 cu m, instead

of 6 – 7 cu m, as per the traffic regulations Inability of RMC players to supply concrete at short notices

Annexure 1

METHODOLOGY TO ESTIMATE CONCRETE DEMAND In order to estimate concrete demand, cement, for which reliable information is available, was used as a base. Estimation of concrete demand was derived from cement that goes into concrete, based on market feedback and accepted norms. Current Demand

The cement demand for each zone, in FY 2007, was estimated from data collected from cement companies.

In each zone, the user segmentation was mapped to understand segment-wise cement consumption. The segments are: • Individual House Builders • Institutional Segment (Housing and Commercial Complexes and factories) • Infrastructure

Zone-wise cement user segmentation, for FY 2007, was collected from cement companies and is given below: Zone IHB Institutional Infrastructure Mumbai City 10% 65% 25% Thane 30% 60% 10% Navi Mumbai 30% 55% 15%

In each segment, the percentage of cement that is used for concreting works was

determined, and is given below: Description IHB Institutional Infrastructure % Cement used for concreting works

50 % 60 % - 75 % depending upon the

nature of building

95%

Thereafter, constructions norms were applied to calculate the total concrete used in each

of segment. Based on the typical quantity of cement used to make concrete in each segment, the segment-wise concrete demand was estimated. While considering the typical quantity of cement used to make a cu m of concrete in each segment, the cement types, grades used, kind of suppliers (on site mix, batching plants and RMC) and if flyash is also used to make concrete for a particular segment, was taken into account. The segment-wise cement usage norms considered are:

Description IHB Institutional Infrastructure Cement used to make 1 cu m of concrete

450 kgs 350 – 410 kgs 350 – 430 kgs depending upon the nature of construction

07101 A1.2

Future Demand

Cement demand forecast for each zone was estimated based on National and State level forecast along with the volume and kind of construction envisaged in each zone. Cement forecast was estimated for 5 years. The future cement demand of Maharashtra is estimated to grow at an average rate of 12 % pa in the medium term. The current share of Greater Mumbai and Pune cement consumption of the total cement consumption of Maharashtra is around 50 %. Based on past trend and the kind of construction envisaged in Greater Mumbai and Pune, the future cement demand is envisaged to grow at 14 % pa in Greater Mumbai and 13 %pa in Pune. Cement demand in the other cities of Mahrasthra are envisaged to grow at a lower rate that that in Greater Mumbai and Pune, thereby giving Maharasthra an average growth of 12 % pa in the next 5 years. The average cement growth rates considered for the various zonal markets in Greater Mumbai, for the next 5 years (FY 2007 to FY 2012), are: • Mumbai City: 14.4 % pa • Thane: 11.4 %pa • Navi Mumbai: 15.1 % pa

In each zone, any changes envisaged in the user segments were appropriately adjusted

while segmenting the market. In each segment, the percentage of cement that is used for concreting works was used,

as mentioned earlier, along with constructions norms to derive the future zone and segment-wise concrete demand.
