Indian cement sector – time to book profitsProxy to domestic growth story: Long-term demand story remains intact. However, in the short term, demand has been extremely weak, with April at 0% and May expected to come out negative. Supply overhang to offset demand growth: Capacity addition has been strong, with 35mt in FY11 and 25mt in FY12, oversupply of ~10% expected.Prices down as demand lags supply: Though prices have recently seen some recovery, concerns on oversupply remain, and we expect prices to remain under pressure.Margins have started to come under pressure: Companies have already seen a decline in margins YoY on higher costs. Although there will be some recovery in FY12E as prices recover slowly, higher costs should keep margin recovery muted. Top short ideas: ACEM and ACC –valuations look rich

A long way to go

Cement consumption in India has almost 1:1 correlation with GDP growthEven though GDP growth is slowing, it is still expected to be above 7% in short term and 8% in medium to long termThis means cement consumption demand growth still likely at 8-9%In addition, we believe continued focus on infrastructure projects will help dissipate pressure on cement consumptionPer-capita consumption in India one of the lowest, even among developing countries

Surplus – creeping undetected, more than what we need

Surplus capacity is coming: We believe the new capacity will continue to hit in FY12 as well.

Regional variations in surplus: The surplus should hit different regions over different periods of time, with South India likely to be most affected.

Substantial overcapacity has

come in 2011.

Cement prices have recovered in the past few weeks, especially in South. Prices have recovered modestly in other regions.We expect price recovery to help margins, however, costs have also inched up which will keep profit recovery muted.
