Outlook
The Indian cement industry, which accounts for 23% of India’s building material industry, has a strong correlation with India’s GDP growth. With a stable government and progressive policies, the Indian economy for FY'25 is expected to grow in the range of 6.5% to 7.0%, with growth in the cement industry likely to grow by 7.0% to 9.0%. An outlay of Rs. 11.11 lakh crores for infrastructure projects has been allotted in Budget FY’25 which represents 3.4% of GDP. Phase IV of PMGSY* will be launched to provide all-weather connectivity to 25,000 rural habitations. All these measures are expected to bring buoyancy to cement demand.
