Multiple large cement players have lined up capacity additions in North India (Rajasthan, Haryana, NCR) over next 12-15 months. While management believes demand will absorb new supply, analyst questioned whether competitive pressure could intensify pricing.
Raw material and power/fuel costs increased ₹81/ton QoQ in Q3 due to higher OPC volumes, increased inter-plant raw material movement, and higher clinker cost in West region. Management guided this should partially reverse in Q4 with improved RE share.
Company is running short of slag at Dolvi plant, requiring inter-plant movement from Vijayanagar to Salem, impacting margins. Next blast furnace expected within next few months to relieve this constraint.
Analyst asked for update on pending cost savings (₹200/ton for cement, ₹35/ton for GGBS from IPO program). Management deflected, stating they would provide update next quarter, leaving investors without confirmation on cost program progress.
