Cement industry

Use of cement• Production of Concrete

• Construction Purpose

o Building (Floors, Beams, Columns, Roofing)

o Transport (Roads, Pathways, Crossings, Bridge)

o Water (Pipes, Drains, Canals)

o Agriculture (Irrigation, Housing)

Type of cementOrdinary Portland Cement (OPC),

Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC),

Oil Well Cement,

Rapid Hardening,

White Cement, etc……..,

Raw materials

limestone,

sand,

shale,

clay, and

iron ore

Cement manufacturing process

Tehnology• The technology is a continuous process and is

highly energy intensive.

• At present 93% of cement production in India is based on modern and environment-friendly dry process technology and only 7% of the capacity is based on old wet and semi-dry process technology.

The cost of cement29% energy;

27% raw materials;

32% labour and

12% depreciation

Evolution of indian cement industry

• A Kolkata based company started manufacturing cement in 1889.

• After the economic reform in 1980’s the government control on cement industry was liberalized.

Regional capacity

Current statusOur country Responsible for 7-8 percent of global cement production.

139 large cement plants

365 mini cement plants

Cement sales 16.26 million tonnes.

India exports to 30 countries

India is the second largest cement market in the world after china.

Growth rate

India would require overall cement capacity of around 480 million tonnes.

This would mean the industry will have to add another 150 million tonnes of capacity during the period.

According to the latest report from the working group on the industry for the 12th five-year Plan (2012-17).

Factors that will drive growth in this sector

Housing segment growth is leading to higher demand for cement for home building.

Government’s 12th Five Year Plan focuses on increasing infrastructure (upgraded airports, ports, railway expansion, etc.) to drive construction activity.

Cement and gypsum products sectors in India is attracted foreign direct investment.

INDIAN CEMENT INDUSTRY LIFE CYCLE

Constraints:

1).high cost of power.

2).high railway tariff.

3).high incidence of state and central levies and duties.

4).lack of private and public investment in infrastructure project.

5).low quality coal and inadequate growth of related infrastructure like sea and rail transport.

6).ports and bulk transports.

Targeting

To achieve 550 MT

capacities by 2020

Conclusion “Cement is one of the fundamental element for setting up strong and healthy infrastructure of the country and plays an important role in economic development and welfare of the nation”
