Their primary objective is to attain cost leadership through a multifaceted approach, encompassing enhancements in supply chain management, optimization of raw materials, energy efficiency, and capital expenditure.

Notable companies such as Adani Cement, Shree Cement, Dalmia Cement, and JSW Cement have recently unveiled strategies aimed at bolstering cost efficiency, particularly in areas such as supply chain management, energy consumption, and workforce expenses. This proactive move is in response to the anticipation of potential market competition and the necessity to maintain a competitive edge.

In a recent presentation, Dalmia Cement asserted its standing as the lowest-cost cement producer in India, underscoring its ability to expand capacity at a mere $40 per tonne.
