INTRODUCTION TO INDUSTRY PROFILE:

The Indian Cement industry is the second largest cement producer in the

world, with an installed capacity of 144 million tones. The industry has undergone

rapid technological up gradation and vibrant growth during the last two decades,

and some of the plants can be compared in every respect with the best operating

plants in the world. The industry is highly energy intensive and the energy bill in

some of the plants is as high as 60% of cement manufacturing cost. Although the

newer plants are equipped with the latest state-of-the-art equipment, there

exists substantial scope for reduction in energy consumption in many of the older

plants adopting various energy conservation measures.

The Indian cement industry is a mixture of mini and large capacity cement

plants, ranging in unit capacity per kiln as low as 10 tpd to as high as 7500 tpd.

Majority of the production of cement in the country (94%) is by large plants,

which are defined as plants having capacity of more than 600 tpd. At present

there are 124 large rotary kiln plants in the country. The Ordinary Portland

Cement (OPC) enjoys the major share (56%) of the total cement production in

India followed by Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) and Portland Slag Cement

(PSC).



History of Indian Cement Industry

By stating production in 1914 the story of story of Indian cement is a stage

of continuous growth. Cement is derived from the Latin word ―cementam‖.

Egyptians and Romans found the process of manufacturing cement. In England

during the first century the hydraulic cement has become more versatile building

material. Later on, Portland cement was invented and the invention was usually

attributed to Joseph Aspdin of Enland.

India is the world’s 4th largest cement produced after China, Japan and

U.S.A. The South Industries have produced cement for the first time in 1904. The

company was setup in Chennai with the installed capacity of 30 tonnes per day.

Since then the cement industry has progressing leaps and bounds and evolved into

the most basic and progressive industry. Till 1950-1951, the capacity of

production was only 3.3 million tonnes. So far annual production and demand have

been growing a pace at roughly 78 million tonnes with an installed capacity of 87

million tonnes.



Problems:

The rising cost of energy transportation and persistent raw material pressures have been

playing a heavy strain on the cement and construction industry. As a result, Indian Companies

have to not only explore alternate sources of energy and materials but also strive to enhance

operational efficiency. But India’s potential for growth remains intact. The need of the hour is

to spend invest adequately in developing human resources capable of addressing the

professional needs of construction industry like application of advanced technologies and

construction practices, project management construction, litigation, insurance and finance, etc.

Indian Cement Industry is in search of competitive advantage, therefore, it is continuously

improving on the innovation and optimization front. While embracing its commitment to grow

and compete globally, it is however not neglecting the ecological and environmental needs.

Cement sector is adopting sustainable development practices and conservation measures while

harnessing energy for its use. The industry if fully committed and partner global efforts to

reduce Green House Gases impact and mitigating the evil of climate change.

Suggestions:

Cement industry in India is currently going through a technological change as a lot of

upgradation and assimilation is taking place. Currently, almost 93% of the total capacity is

based entirely on the modern dry process, which is considered as more environment-friendly.

Only the rest 7% uses old wet and semi-dry process technology. There is also a huge scope of

waste heat recovery in the cement plants, which lead to reduction in the emission level and

hence improves the environment.

Strengths

A firm's strengths are its resources and capabilities that can be used as a basis for

developing a competitive advantage. Examples of such strengths include:

Patents

Strong brand names

Good reputation among customers

Cost advantages from proprietary know-how

Exclusive access to high grade natural resources

Favorable access to distribution networks

Weaknesses

The absence of certain strengths may be viewed as a weakness. For example, each

of the following may be considered weaknesses:

Lack of patent protection

A weak brand name

Poor reputation among customers

High cost structure

Lack of access to the best natural resources

Lack of access to key distribution channels

In some cases, a weakness may be the flip side of strength. Take the case in which

a firm has a large amount of manufacturing capacity. While this capacity may be

considered a strength that competitors do not share, it also may be a considered a

weakness if the large investment in manufacturing capacity prevents the firm from

reacting quickly to changes in the strategic environment.



Opportunities

The external environmental analysis may reveal certain new opportunities for

profit and growth. Some examples of such opportunities include:

An unfulfilled customer need

Arrival of new technologies

Loosening of regulations

Removal of international trade barriers

Threats

Changes in the external environmental also may present threats to the firm. Some

examples of such threats include:

Shifts in consumer tastes away from the firm's products

Emergence of substitute products

New regulations

Increased trade barriers
