#COMPANY #POTENTIAL
โข India is the second largest producer and consumer of cement, with a capacity of ~600 MTPA. The industry is an essential contributor to the Indian economy, providing employment to millions of people and driving infrastructure development. From the fiscal year 2013-2022, Indian cement manufacturers have significantly increased their capacity by 217 MTPA. Of this, despite pandemic related interruptions, the last five fiscal years up to 2022 saw an additional 109 MT increase in capacity. As per Crisilโs estimate, Indian cement companies plan to expand and increase their capacity by 145-155 MT between FY23 and FY27 at a 4-5% CAGR on a high base. A 6-7% CAGR in cement demand during these five fiscal years will support the increase in supply. โข With plans to invest โน143 lakh crore on infrastructure between 2024-2030, Indiaโs infrastructure sector emerges as a potent driver of economic growth, presenting substantial opportunities for cement industry stakeholders. โข In the Union Budget for FY26 the central government made an allocation of ~โน11.2 lakh cr towards infrastructure. This is viewed as a positive boost to infrastructure and construction companies. โข Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Housing for all) is a government initiative launched in 2015 aimed at providing affordable housing to eligible beneficiaries by 2024. The programme has two components: PMAY (Urban) and PMAY (Gramin), offering financial assistance to urban poor households and rural households, respectively. It provides credit-linked subsidies and interest subsidies to make housing more affordable. PMAY has been successful in providing affordable housing to millions of beneficiaries, particularly economically weaker sections, low-income groups and women.

#COMPANY #OUTLOOK
โข The company expects installed cement capacity to reach ~49.5 MTPA by the end of FY25 (excluding the acquisition). The companyโs aim is to be a pan-India cement manufacturer, with a 130 MTPA cement manufacturing capacity by 2030. โข With an equivalent focus on building long-term raw material security, they are also participating in new limestone auctions and had won some of them, including the one in Rajasthan in North India. In line with their strategic priorities, they won two coal blocks in East India. This will help them to partially safeguard against the external rate volatilities. โข They are progressing well on the commitments to have 100% renewable energy (RE) by 2030 and complete fossil fuel replacement by 2035. As on Q3 FY25, they have signed 299 MW of long term RE power agreements under group captive arrangement. By the end of FY25, they envisage to have total operational RE capacity of 267 MW, including 57 MW from group captive arrangements and other captive capacities. On consumption basis, the management expect RE power share to be 40%-45% by the end of FY25. โข To make use of the opportunities unfolding before them and to realize their ambition of becoming a pan-India pure play cement company, they had decided to embark on a strategic growth drive. The growth plan includes capacity expansion through brownfield and greenfield projects as well as expansion of existing facilities, acquisitions and debottlenecking of production at an investment of โน9,000 cr over the next three years. The management will produce a more definitive plan by July 2025. โข In line with its strategy to exit non-core business, on 25th April 2023, Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Limited, a subsidiary of the company, entered into a binding agreement to sell its entire investment of 1.87 crore equity shares of โน10 each (42.36% of share capital) of Dalmia Bharat Refractories Limited at a consideration of โน800 crore to M/s Sarvapriya Healthcare Solutions Private Limited, a promoter group company. Sarvapriya had paid โน160 crore (20%) immediately on signing the contract and one tranche of nonconvertible debentures (NCD) of โน320 crore (40%) plus due interest of redemption was received in FY24. The 2nd tranche of โน320 crore (40%) was due for redemption in September 2024.
The company recently signed a definitive agreement with Jaiprakash Associates (JPA) for the acquisition of a cement manufacturing unit with a production capacity of 9.4 MTPA, clinker with a capacity of 6.7 MTPA and a thermal power plant of 280 MW at an Enterprise Value of โน5,836 cr. These plants are strategically located and will provide them with an entry into the highgrowth market of central India. The company discontinued its tolling arrangement in Central India with JPA after it entered insolvency proceedings. As of January 2025, the National Asset Reconstruction Company Limited (NARCL) remained the sole bidder for JPAโs assets. The company has continued to serve the Central market through its eastern plants, as it remains optimistic about acquiring JPAโs assets and aims to maintain its market presence in the region.
