Cement Demand to Rise by 8%

06 Aug 2024 CW Team

Ultratech Cement forecasts a 7-8% increase in cement demand due to a surge in construction activities. This growth is driven by expanding infrastructure projects and residential developments across India.

The anticipated rise in demand is attributed to several factors, including increased government spending on infrastructure, the expansion of urban areas, and ongoing residential construction projects. These activities are expected to bolster the cement sector, leading to higher consumption and production levels.

Ultratech, one of the leading players in the cement industry, anticipates that this demand surge will positively impact the company's production and revenue. The increased cement consumption is expected to support growth in both urban and rural construction, addressing the needs of a growing population and expanding infrastructure.

The company also notes that favorable economic conditions and government initiatives aimed at boosting construction will contribute to the demand growth. The rise in construction activities aligns with broader trends in infrastructure development and urbanization, further driving the cement industry's expansion.

Overall, Ultratech's outlook reflects optimism about the cement sector's growth prospects, fueled by ongoing and planned construction activities across various regions.
