class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>India is the world&#8217;s second-largest cement producer. It accounts for more than 7% of all installed capacity worldwide.<\/strong> India has enormous development potential in the infrastructure and construction sectors, and the cement industry is projected to benefit significantly from it. Recent initiatives, such as the establishment of 98 smart cities, are expected to give the sector a significant boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several foreign players have recently invested in the country, aided by appropriate government foreign policies. These players include Lafarge-Holcim, Heidelberg Cement, and Vicat. A crucial component that contributes to the sector&#8217;s growth is the readily available raw resources for cement production, such as limestone and coal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>India produced 294.4 million tonnes (MT) of cement in FY21, up from 329 million tonnes (MT) in FY20.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cement_Market_Growth\"><\/span><strong>Cement Market Growth:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cement production reached 329 million tonnes (MT) in the fiscal year 2020 and is expected to increase to 381 MT by fiscal year 22. However, consumption was 327 MT in FY20 and is expected to reach 379 MT in FY22. By 2020, cement manufacturing capacity is expected to reach 550 MT. <strong>Due to India&#8217;s extensive and high-quality limestone reserves, the cement industry has enormous expansion potential.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>According to ICRA, India&#8217;s cement production is predicted to expand by 12% year on year in FY22, owing to rural housing demand and the government&#8217;s strong focus on infrastructure development.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/upstox.com\/open-account\/?f=FN1853\" style=\"border-radius:50px;color:#0f0027;background-color:#e4fa00\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Open Upstox Account Now!<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>According to Crisil Ratings, the Indian cement sector is expected to add a record 80 million tonnes (MT) of capacity by FY24, the highest level in the last decade, owing to rising spending on housing and infrastructure.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Increased infrastructure spending \u2013 34.9 percent on roads, 8.7 percent on metros, and 33.6 percent on railroads in FY22 budget estimates will boost cement demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CLSA (an institutional brokerage and investment company) reports that the Indian cement market is experiencing increased demand. According to the corporation, key companies include ACC, Dalmia, and Ultratech Cement. Indian cement companies recorded a substantial return in earnings in the second quarter of FY21, while demand for the industry grew due to rural recovery. Demand remained strong as rural markets normalized. CLSA anticipates a 14% YoY increase in EBITDA in the cement sector for its coverage stocks in FY21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
