Industry Overview

While challenging macro-economic conditions coupled with lower infra spending by Governments impacted cement demand, individual housing building segment continued to show good traction.

The nation-wide lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic however affected cement demand towards last days of the close of the financial year 2019-20. Based on cement production data for 11 months upto Feb 20 and expected production for Mar 20, cement production during 2019-20 is expected to remain at around same level as that of 2018-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic has dented the cement demand because of nation-wide lockdown and resultant dip in the overall economic activities. The uncertainty around the continuation of the impact of the pandemic makes it difficult to make any proposition about the outlook for the near future. While short term outlook is uncertain, the long-term outlook of the cement industry continues to be positive on account of the various economic reforms, increasing aspirations, sustained consumption momentum and persistent infra spending.
