- The demand of cement in the country is being met through domestic production as well as from imports.
- After 2001 the private sector is dominantly gaining ground in the share of domestic production of cement and market.
- Considering the capacity utilization in the past, the capacity utilization as estimated seems ambiguous. The capacity utilized is limited due to non – availability of adequate raw materials in time, operational insufficiency, defects in management, over manning, power load shedding etc.
