The Competition Commission of India (CCI) is conducting a pan- India market study on the cement sector to gain an understanding of its functioning since it is a critical input in crucial sectors of the economy such as housing and infrastructure, which significantly impact the country's economic growth trajectory. The organisation will conduct a fact-finding exercise to study the evolving market structure, market concentration, dynamics of entry, exit and consolidation, market trends including price fluctuations, cost, production, capacity utilisation and profitability. Cement companies have often been accused of cartelisation. Contact: Competition Commission of India Tel: 011-24664100 Website: www.cci.gov.in
