Government stimulus measures to spur cement demand

Authorizing India Infrastructure Finance Company Limited (IIFCL) to raise Rs. 10,000 cr. to refinance bank lending for infrastructure projects. Additional plan expenditure up to Rs. 20,000 cr. in the current year mainly for critical rural, infrastructure and social security schemes such as Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme and National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) To facilitate access to funds for the housing sector, the 'development of integrated townships' would be permitted as an eligible end-use of the ECB, under the approval route of RBI NBFCs, dealing exclusively with infrastructure financing, would be permitted to access ECB from multilateral or bilateral financial institutions, under the approval route of RBI. An across-the-board cut of 8% in ad-valorem Cenvat rate and reduction in cenvat on bulk cement from 10% to 8% Several other measures to support housing including infusion of liquidity and reduction in interest rate by RBI Removal of ban on export of cements and re-introduction of customs duty on imported cement
March 2009
Rural areas key to generate and sustain cement demand

Rural areas are not as dependent on financial markets or monetary policy Rural market demand is more impacted by Agricultural productivity gains and crop yields Population growth and migration trends Water and power generation availability Regional food supply and demand dynamics Household savings Brand recognition and commercial activities are also important Factors in rural markets Retail market sold predominantly in bags Reliance on do-it-yourself (DIY) market
10
