INDUSTRY PROFILE:
Sector structure/Market size:

India is the 2nd largest cement producer in world after china .Right from laying concrete bricks of economy to waving fly overs cement industry has shown and shows a great future. The overall outlook for the industry shows significant growth on the back of robust demand from housing construction, Phase-II of NHDP (National Highway Development Project) and other infrastructure development projects. Domestic demand for cement has been increasing at a fast pace in India. Cement consumption in India is forecasted to grow by over 22% by 200910 from 2007-08.Among the states, Maharashtra has the highest share in consumption at 12.18%,followed by Uttar Pradesh, In production terms, Andhra Pradesh is leading with 14.72% of total production followed by Rajasthan. Cement production grew at the rate of 9.1 per cent during 2006-07 over the previous fiscal's total production of 147.8 mt(million tons). Due to rising demand of cement the sales volume of cement companies are also increasing & companies reporting higher production, higher sales and higher profits. The net profit growth rate of cement firms was 85%.Cement industry has contributed around 8% to the economic development of India. Outsiders (foreign players) eyeing India as a major market to invest in the form of either merger or FDI (Foreign Direct Investment). Cement industry has a long way to go as Indian economy is poised to grow because of being on verge of development. Despite the growth of Indian cement industry India lags behind the per capita production. Supply for cement is expected to remain tight which, in turn, will push up prices of cement by more than 50%. The most important factor for better prices is consolidation of the industry.

It has just begun and we will see more consolidation in the coming years. Other budget measures such as cut in import duty from 12.5 per cent to nil etc. are all intended to cut costs and boost availability of cement. One of the strategies is to decrease dependence on road & opt for sea logistics as that can cut transportation cost by 30- 50 %. Some plants are adopting futuristic plan such as setting up captive power plant, moving closer to the customers by creating clicker, crushing, and capacity in key markets, to be more customer centric to generate better revenue. India should push for stricter regulations of market place as to control the prices of big companies and prevent them from forming cartels and exchanging information. To fight with the high inflation, government wants to import more cement from Pakistan .However cement prizes are not very much high as other items but still they are increasing. And the reason of high prize is surging cost of raw material and transportation cost. Apart from this government also discussed with cement industry not to have increase in prizes and keep consumer interest in mind.Now the question arise in front of the government is whether the demand by the government is possible to increase through expenditure on infrastructure or not according to the current state of economy when so many crises are going on or how the government allocation of US$ 3.23 billion for the National Highway Development, Project will keep the demand for cement alive?

India is the world's second largest producer of cement after China, with cement companies adding nearly eight million tones (MT) capacity in April 2009, taking the total installed capacity to 219 MT and dispatch of 16.65 million tones during April 2009. A few of the leading manufacturers are the UltraTech/Grasim combine, Dalmia Cements, India Cements, and Holcim etc. The cement industry may add 40-45 MT of capacity this fiscal, a 21 per cent increase over the installed capacity at 212 MT in 2008-09.

With the boost given by the government to various infrastructure projects, road networks and housing facilities, growth in the cement consumption is anticipated in the coming years. Another 50 MT capacity is likely to be added this year, according to industry sources.

With almost total capacity utilization levels in the industry, cement dispatches have maintained a 10 per cent growth rate. Total despatches grew to 170 MT during 200708 as against 155 MT in 200607.

Moreover, cement despatches were 18.12 MT in March 2009, showing a growth of 10.35 per cent as compared to 16.42 MT in March 2008. During March 2009, cement production was 18.10 MT, registering a growth of 10.43 per cent as compared to 16.39 MT in March 2008.Despite concerns of slowdown, led by a change in economic scenario along with excess supply pressure; the cement industry has ended FY 2008-09 on a strong note.

According to experts, the fourth quarter of the current financial year 2009 will report a 23 per cent growth in margins due to rise in prices and 10-12 per cent year-on-year growth in sales due to sudden increase in demand this quarter.

Technological change Continuous technological upgrading and assimilation of latest technology has been going on in the cement industry. Presently, 93 per cent of the total capacity in the industry is based on modern and environment-friendly dry process technology and only 7 per cent of the capacity is based on old wet and semi-dry process technology. There is tremendous scope for waste heat recovery in cement plants and thereby reduction in emission level.

New Investments

Shree Cements will invest almost US$ 244.12 million this year, of which half will be invested towards setting up two grinding units at Rajasthan and Uttarakhand to augment its capacity. The other half will be towards the two power plants in Bangor.

ACC Ltd will spend US$ 575 million on capacity expansion in 2009 and 2010. ACC is expanding capacity by a third to 30 MT by 2010.

Binani Cement has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Gujarat government to set up a 2.5 MTPA Greenfield cement plant in Gujarat at a cost of US$ 169.40 million. Binani Cement has also initiated talks with a few foreign institutional investors (FIIs) to raise US$ 307.99 million for its new projects.

Bheema Cements Ltd is planning to invest US$ 116.42 million in setting up a new manufacturing line of 1.5 MT capacities at its plant in Andhra Pradesh.

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As) A growing and robust economy was noteworthy in terms of the total number of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in India 2007, with the cement sector contributing to 7 per cent to the total deal value.

Holcim strengthened its position in India by increasing its holding in Ambuja Cement from 22 per cent to 56 per cent through various open market transactions with an open offer for a total investment of US$ 1.8 billion. Moreover, it also increased its stake in ACC Cement with US$ 486 million, being the single largest acquirer in the cement sector.

Leading foreign funds like Fidelity, ABN Amro, HSBC, Nomura Asset Management Fund and Emerging Market Fund have together bought around 7.5 per cent in India's third-largest cement firm, India Cements (ICL), for US$ 124.91 million.

Cimpor, the Portugese cement maker, paid US$ 68.10 million for Grasim Industries' 53.63 per cent stake in Shree Digvijay Cement.

CRH Plc, the world's second biggest maker and distributor of building materials, acquired a 50 per cent stake in My Home Industries Ltd for almost US$ 372.64 million.

Vicat SA, a French cement maker acquired a 6.67 per cent stake in Twin cities -based sagar Cement for US$ 14.35 million.

Government Initiatives Government initiatives in the infrastructure sector, coupled with the housing sector boom and urban development, continue being the main drivers of growth for the Indian cement industry.

Increased infrastructure spending has been a key focus area over the last five years indicating good times ahead for cement manufacturers.

The government has increased budgetary allocation for roads under National Highways Development Project (NHDP).

Appointing a coal regulator is looked upon as a positive move as it will facilitate timely and proper allocation of coal (a key raw material) blocks to the core sectors, cement being one of them.

Road Ahead According to a report by the ICRA Industry Monitor, the installed capacity is expected to increase to 241 MTPA by FY 2010-end. India's cement industry is likely to record an annual growth of 10 per cent in the coming years with higher domestic demand resulting in increased capacity utilization.

Moreover, according to the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE), cement production is expected to grow by 8.1 per cent and demand for the same is likely to rise by a healthy 7-7.5 per cent in FY 2009-10.

CEMENT INDUSTRY & SERVICES An Overview The cement industry is experiencing a boom on account of the overall growth of the Indian economy. The demand for cement, being a derived demand, depends primarily on the industrial activity, real estate business, construction activity, and investment in the infrastructure sector. India is experiencing growth on all these fronts and hence the cement market is flourishing like never before. Indian cement industry is globally competitive because the industry has witnessed healthy trends such as cost control and continuous technology up gradation. Global rating agency, Fitch Ratings, has commented that cement demand in India is expected to grow at 10% annually in the medium term buoyed by housing, infrastructure and corporate capital expenditures.

Current Scenario The Indian cement industry is the second largest producer of quality cement, which meets global standards. The cement industry comprises 130 large cement plants and more than 300 mini cement plants. The industry's capacity at the beginning of the year 2008-09 was 198.30 million tonnes. Cement production during April to October 2008-09 was 101.04 million tonnes as compared to 95.05 million tonnes during the same period for the year 2007-08.Despatches were 100.24 million tonnes during April to October 2008-09 whereas 94.33 million tonnes during the same period for the year 2007-08.During April-October 2008-09, cement export was 1.46 million tonnes as compared to 2.16 million tonnes during the same period for the year 200708.

Technological Advancements

Modernization and technology up-gradation is a continuous process for any growing industry and is equally true for the cement industry. At present, the quality of cement and building materials produced in India meets international standards and benchmarks and can compete in international markets. The productivity parameters are now nearing the theoretical bests and alternate means. Substantial technological improvements have been brought about and today, the industry can legitimately be proud of its state-of-the-art technology and processes incorporated in most of its cement plants. This technology up gradation is resulting in increased capacity, reduction in cost of production of cement.

Future Outlook

Considering an expected production and consumption growth of 9 to 10 per cent, the demand-supply position of the cement industry is expected to improve from 2008-09 onwards, resulting in an expected price stabilization. The cement industry is poised to add 111 million tones of annual capacity by the end of 2009-10 (FY 10), riding on the back of an estimated 141 outstanding cement projects.

CEMENT INDUSTRY OVERVIEW: The Company operates a plant of 10, 00,000 tones annual capacity at Bhavanipuram in Nalgonda District of Andhra Pradesh. During the year under report, the Company marketed cement in Andhra Pradesh, Pondicherry and parts of Tamil Nadu. The Companys prospects were in tune with the realization in Andhra Pradesh since 90% of the production was marketed in Andhra Pradesh.

State of the Industry: The entire country is witnessing increase in demand. Demand outstripped supplies in the entire country, as also in Andhra Pradesh. The Companys production capacity is 4% of the total production capacity available in the State.

Outlook: The company produced predominantly Portland cement in the current year. Demand for Cement increased substantially during the year. Hence prices are expected to firm up and rule at higher levels as compared to previous year all through the Country. The Company has installed and commissioned in April 2007, a Waste Heat Recovery System, at a cost of Rs.1150 lakhs, which is expected to generate 1.75 MW electricity. In furtherance of clean environment, a clinker silo has been built at a cost of Rs.1000 lakhs during the financial year 2006-07.

POWER Overview: The Company has five mini-hydel units aggregating to 8.25 MW capacities on the Nalgonda Branch Canal of the Nagarjuna Sagar Dam. This being an irrigation canal, water is expected to be available for seven to eight months of the year. Electricity generated in these units is wheeled to the Companys Cement Unit for use. Generation in excess of the consumption at the cement unit is banked on a monthly basis and is to be used within twelve months of generation. Electricity unused even after twelve months is sold to the Grid. Electricity used in the cement factory will be deducted from the monthly bills and will get a relief at the H.T rates, while electricity sold to grid will be paid for at the prevalent purchase price as determined by APERC. Risks: Except one scheme all the other four are operating at FULL capacity due to good inflow of water. Further, water flow in the canal is unpredictable which is entirely dependant on inflow of water to Nagarjuna Sagar dam. Normal monsoon during the season improved storage in Nagarjuna Sagar Dam. Consequently, during the year under report, adequate flow of water was available in the Canal. Generation was normal.

ENGINEERING The Company operates a versatile engineering facility that is capable of manufacturing heavy mechanical equipment to a given design for various industries. The Unit has an integrated facility comprising of foundry, heavy fabrication and machine shop facilities. The Arakonam

facility was effectively used to augment production of foundry products and fabrication. Due to good demand in the Cement, Sugar and Infrastructure sectors, the operation of the Engineering Unit at Tiruvottiyur was substantially better than the previous year in terms of turnover and profits. Overview: Status of capital goods sector: During the year capital goods industry has done well in both domestic and export markets. Opportunities: Widening of the product range has also widened the customer base. This is leading to better value addition. Risks: Product mix is the deciding factor affecting the performance of this segment. Consequently, this segment results are open to variations in profits depending on the Order profile.

Outlook: With the orders on hand of about Rs. 120 Crores and the existing product-mix, performance during fiscal 2007-2008 is expected to yield similar results as that of the year under report. The modernization programmed being implemented at a cost of Rs. 2200 lakhs will enable the Company to increase productivity and to compete in higher value added segment.

Importance of labour welfare activities:-

Labour welfare in India has a special significance as the constitution provides for the promotion of welfare of the labour for human conditions of work and securing to all workers.

The various welfare measures provided by the employee will have immediate impact on the health, physical and mental efficiency, alertness, morale and overall efficiency of the workers and thereby contributing to the highest productivity.

Social security measure provided by employer will act as a protection to the workers. Labour welfare means activities designed for the promotion of the economic, social and cultural well being of the employees. Labour welfare includes both statutory as well as non-statutory activities undertaken by the employers, trade unions and both the central and state governments for the physical and mental development of the workers.

Labour welfare enables workers to have richer and more satisfying life. It raises the standard of living of workers by indirectly reducing the burden on their pocket. Welfare measures improve the physical and physiological health of the employees, which in turn enhance their efficiency and productivity.

Labour welfare promotes a sense of belongings among the workers, preventing them from resorting to unhealthy practices like absenteeism, lobour unrest strike, etc. welfare work improves the relations between employees and employers. It promotes a real change of heart and a change of outlook of the part of both the employers and employee

Reasons for the labour welfare activities in India:1) Increase in efficiency of employees: Labour welfare activities increases in efficiency of employees to work. These facilities help in developing the feeling of dedication among them. Due to the increase in efficiency the production and the productivity of the enterprise increase considerably.

2) Helpful in reducing the state of poverty among employees: Most of the workers in our country are unable in providing for base necessities for themselves and to their family members. This is because of the extreme poverty among Indian workers. Provision of labour welfare activities plays an important role in reducing such poverty and in providing essential amenities to the workers.

3) Establishment of Organizational peace: Labour welfare activities help in establishing sound relations between employees and employers. When the employees of the organization feels that they are getting all the possible facilities and the employers are very caring to them, then such good feeling increases enthusiasm among employees which will establish peace in the organization.

4) Helpful in reducing the rate of absenteeism and labour turnover: The rate of absenteeism and labour turnover is much higher in India as compared to that of developed countries of the world. Provision of labour welfare activities help in reducing this because the workers feel themselves well settled at one place.

The basic features of labor welfare measures are as follows:

1. Labor welfare includes various facilities, services and amenities provided to workers for improving their health, efficiency, economic betterment and social status.

2. Welfare measures are in addition to regular wages and other economic benefits available to workers due to legal provisions and collective bargaining

3. Labor welfare schemes are flexible and ever-changing. New welfare measures are added to the existing ones from time to time.

4. Welfare measures may be introduced by the employers, government, employees or by any social or charitable agency.

5. The purpose of labor welfare is to bring about the development of the whole personality of the workers to make a better workforce. The very logic behind providing welfare schemes is to create efficient, healthy, loyal and satisfied labor force for the organization. The purpose of providing such facilities is to make their work life better and also to raise their standard of living.

The important benefits of welfare measures can be summarized as follows: They provide better physical and mental health to workers and thus promote a healthy work environment Facilities like housing schemes, medical benefits, and education and recreation facilities for workers families help in raising their standards of living. This makes workers to pay more attention towards work and thus increases their productivity.

Employee welfare measures increase the productivity of organization and promote healthy industrial relations thereby maintaining industrial peace. The social evils prevalent among the labors such as substance abuse, etc are reduced to a greater extent by the welfare policies. Organizations provide welfare facilities to their employees to keep their motivation levels high. The employee welfare schemes can be classified into two categories viz. statutory and nonstatutory welfare schemes. The statutory schemes are those schemes that are compulsory to provide by an organization as compliance to the laws governing employee health and safety. These include provisions provided in industrial acts like Factories Act 1948, Dock Workers Act (safety, health and welfare) 1986, Mines Act 1962.
