3. Portland Blast Furnace Slag Cement (PBFSC):

PBFSC consists of 45% clinker, 50% blast furnace slag and 5% Gypsum and PRISMounts for

10% of the total cement consumed. It has a heat of hydration even lower than PPC and is

generally used in construction of dams and similar massive constructions. Portland blast-

furnace slag cement contains up to 70 per cent of finely ground, granulated blast-furnace

slag, a nonmetallic product consisting essentially of Silicates and Aluminum-silicates of

Calcium. Slag brings with it the advantage of the energy invested in the slag making. Grinding

slag for cement replacement takes only 25 per cent of the energy needed to manufacture

Portland cement. Using slag cement to replace a portion of Portland cement in a concrete

mixture is a useful method to make concrete better and more consistent. Portland blast-

furnace slag cement has a lighter colour, better concrete workability, easier finish ability,

higher compressive and flexural strength, lower permeability, improved resistance to

aggressive chemicals and more consistent plastic and hardened consistency.

4. White Cement:

White Portland cement has essentially the same properties as gray cement, except for color,

which is a very important quality control issue in the industry. It is manufactured using fuel oil

(instead of coal) and with iron oxide content below 0.4% to ensure whiteness. Special cooling

technique is used. It is used to enhance aesthetic value, in tiles and for flooring. White

cement is much more expensive than grey cement.

5. Specialized Cement:

Oil Well Cement: is made from clinker with special additives to prevent any porosity.

Rapid Hardening Portland cement: It is similar to OPC, except that it is ground much finer,

so that on casting, the compressible strength increases rapidly.

Water Proof Cement: OPC, with small portion of calcium stearate or non-saponifibale oil to

impart waterproofing properties.

History of Cement

Manufacture of cement has a history, which traces back to millennia. The Romans who

were prolific builders used burnt calcareous (calcium bearing) rocks along with pozzolanic

materials in an era Before Christ. The structures built by them, like the Pantheon, are still there

for us to see proving the goodness of cementitious materials as input material for construction.

Post industrialization and as infrastructure development started globally, demands for cement

have been growing steadily both quantitatively & qualitatively.

India is the second largest cement producer in the world after China and cement

consumption has been growing at a CAGR of over 8% p.a. in the last five years.

The group cement facilities are located in the Satna cluster, which has one of the highest

cement production growth rates in India.

Manufacturing Process

Mining

The cement manufacturing process starts from the mining of limestone, which is the main

raw material for making cement. Limestone is excavated from open cast mines after drilling and

blasting and loaded on to dumpers which transport the material and unload into hoppers of the

limestone crushers.

Crushing Stacking & Reclaiming of Limestone

The LS Crushers crush the limestone to minus 80 mm size and discharge the material

onto a belt conveyor which takes it to the stacker via the Bulk material analyser. The material is

stacked in longitudinal stockpiles. Limestone is extracted transversely from the stockpiles by the

reclaimers and conveyed to the Raw Mill hoppers for grinding of raw meal.

11

8/6/2019 nitin kkkk

12/49

Crushing Stacking & Reclaiming of Coal

The process of making cement clinker requires heat. Coal is used as the fuel for

providing heat. Raw Coal received from the collieries is stored in a coal yard. Raw Coal is

dropped on a belt conveyor from a hopper and is taken to and crushed in a crusher. Crushed coal

discharged from the Coal Crusher is stored in a longitudinal stockpile from where it is reclaimed

by a reclaimer and taken to the coal mill hoppers for grinding of fine coal.

Raw Meal Drying/Grinding & Homogenization

Reclaimed limestone along with some laterite stored in their respective hoppers is fed to

the Raw Mill for fine grinding. The hot gasses coming from the clinkerisation section are used in

the raw mill for drying and transport of the ground raw meal to the Electrostatic Precipitator / Bag

House, where it is collected and then stored and homogenised in the concrete silo. Raw Meal

extracted from the silo (now called Kiln feed) is fed to the top of the Preheater for Pyroprocessing.

Clinkerisation

Cement Clinker is made by pyroprocessing of Kiln feed in the preheater and the rotary

kiln. Fine coal is fired as fuel to provide the necessary heat in the kiln and the Precalciner located

at the bottom of the 5/6 stage preheater. Hot clinker discharged from the Kiln drops on the grate

cooler and gets cooled. The cooler discharges the clinker onto the pan / bucket conveyor and it is

transported to the clinker stockpiles / silos. The clinker is taken from the stockpile / silo to the ball

mill hoppers for cement grinding.

Cement Grinding & Storage

Clinker and Gypsum (for OPC) and also Pozzolana (for PPC) are extracted from their

respective hoppers and fed to the Cement Mills. These Ball Mills grind the feed to a fine powder

and the Mill discharge is fed to an elevator, which takes the material to a separator, which

separates fine product and the coarse. The latter is sent to the mill inlet for regrinding and the fine

product is stored in concrete silos.

Packing

Cement extracted from silos is conveyed to the automatic electronic packers where it is

packed in 50 Kgs. Polythene bags and dispatched in trucks.

RESEARCH DESIGN

(a) General Methodology:

The methodology adopted for this project was completely base on primary information. The

locale of the study was allahabad.The first stage included gathering information about the general

cement market of the two cities. That was, to find out which are major players, what is general

distribution pattern, what type of incentive schemes the different brands are using.

The second stage comprised determining the objective of the study and drafting the

questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed keeping in mind the objective of the study. It was

designed with due guidance of the company guide. It was assured that the questionnaire didnt

exceed more than 10 questions. Keeping in mind the education level of the respondents who

were mainly dealers/retailers, the questionnaire was kept simple and precise.

b) Data Sources:

The research called for gathering primary data only. Hence, primary sources were considered for

the collection of data.

*Primary source

The primary data is gathered for specific purpose and is collected by the researcher himself. It

includes direct communication and feedback from the customers. For the purpose of collecting

information from customers a structured questionnaire was formulated and is contacted directly.

c) Research Approach:

The research conducted was exploratory in nature and the goal was to gather preliminary data to

shed light on the real nature of problems and to suggest possible solutions. For the purpose of

this project, we went for a questionnaire- based survey of customers. A pilot test of this

questionnaire was done for the preparation of final questionnaire. It involved, applying the draft

questionnaire to a sample of 5 people. This was done to ascertain which questions are

ambiguous, wrongly worded or in any way objectionable.

23

8/6/2019 nitin kkkk

24/49

(d) Research Instrument:

1. Personally administered questionnaire

2. Structured interview

3. Unstructured interview

For the purpose of this project, a questionnaire was designed to collect data that

consisted of close ended questions & open ended questions. A survey technique is being used to

collect the data. During the project a survey of customers using personal interview was done at

random locations in allahabad and a predetermined structured questionnaire was administered to

them.

e) Sampling Plan:

* Sampling Unit

The study was restricted to allahabad and allahabad only. Keeping in mind the objective of the

study we sampled dealers and retailers of each and every brand. We try to explore out as many

shops as could be possible.

*Sample Size

The sample size taken for the purpose of study was around 100 respondents from the two distt.

All the respondents were chosen randomly.

*Sampling Procedure

We try to find out almost all of the cement dealers and retailers in the market.

*Contact Method

I personally visited most of the customers after seeking prior appointment. Few shopkeepers due

to their busy schedule or loyalty for their brand refused to respond at all.

Ratings Offered by CRISIL

A CRISIL credit rating indicates CRISILs current opinion of the profitability of default. In other

words, the credit rating indicated the probability of an investor in rated instruments, or a lender o

a rated entity, not receiving interest and principal payments due on time and in PRISMordance

with the terms of the initial contract. The probability is reflected in the form of an easily

understandable alphabetical scale, with ratings such as AAA, AA, A, or BBB.

A rating is assigned to debt alone and not to equity instruments. Typically, instruments such as

non convertible debentures, partially convertible debentures, bonds, fixed deposits, commercial

paper, short-term debt and structured debentures, are rated. Entities issuing these instruments

can also be rated on their capacity to service their obligations on time.

Broadly, CRISILs credit ratings fall under four categories: long-term, short term, fixed deposits

and corporate credit ratings.

The term long term instruments include bonds, debentures, other securities, term loans, and

other fund based and non fund based facilities with an original maturity of more than one year.

Long term rating categories range from AAA to D; CRISIL may apply + (plus) or (minus) signs

as suffixes to ratings from AA to C to reflect the comparative standing within the range category.

The term Short term instruments refers to commercial papers, short term debentures, certificates

of deposits, working capital borrowings, and other fund based and non fund based facilities with

an original maturity of one year or less. Short term rating categories range from P1 to P5;

CRISIL may apply + (plus) or (minus) signs as suffixes to ratings from P1 to P3 to reflect the

comparative standing within the range category.

27

8/6/2019 nitin kkkk

28/49

CRISIL assigns ratings to the fixed deposit programs of corporate banks and financial institutions

with the prefix, F. Fixed deposit rating categories range from FAAA to FD; CRISIL may apply +

(plus) or (minus) signs as suffixes to ratings from FAA to FC to reflect the comparative

standing within the range category.

CRISIL also assigns corporate credit rating to issuers. The corporate credit rating categories

range from CCR AAA to CCR D and CCR SD (indicating selective default); CRISIL may apply

+ (plus) or (minus) signs as suffixes to ratings from CCR AA to CCR C to reflect the

comparative standing within the range category.

Rating For PRISM Cement Ltd.

Rs.4 Billion Non-Convertible Debenture Issue AAA/Stable

Rs.1 Billion Non-Convertible Debenture Issue AAA/Stable

Rs.1.50 Billion Cash Credit AAA/Stable

Rs.5.00 Billion Letter of Credit P1+

Rs.2.25 Billion Bank Guarantee P1+

CRISIL has assigned its rating of AAA/Stable to PRISM Ltds (PRISMs) non-convertible

debentures. The ratings on the companys other debt programmes and bank facilities have been

reaffirmed at AAA/Stable/P1+. The ratings continue to reflect PRISMs leading market position in

cement, and its strong financial risk profile. These rating strengths are partially offset by the

commoditized and cyclical nature of the cement industry.

For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL has combined the business and financial profiles of Prism

Cement and Ambuja Cements Ltd (Ambuja Cements). This is because both the companies have

a substantive common shareholder, the international cement major Holcim Ltd. In CRISILs view,

the common ownership and common line of business create incentives for the companies to

operate symbiotically, exploiting synergies on the operating and financial fronts.

PRISM is the largest cement producer in India, with a total capacity of 19.9 million tonnes per

annum (mtpa) across 14 units. The company has a large marketing infrastructure and a pan-India

presence, translating into an overall market share of 12.3 per cent. The nationwide presence de-

risks PRISMs operations from regional price volatility and demand-supply imbalances. Moreover,

PRISMs cost structure has improved significantly over the past few years, led by its stringent

control over power, fuel, and freight costs, and its voluntary retirement schemes for employees.

These factors have led to an improvement in its operating margins.

28

8/6/2019 nitin kkkk

29/49

PRISM has an exceptionally strong financial risk profile marked by strong cash flows, healthy

gearing, sound debt protection measures, and financial flexibility. In 2007 (refers to calendar year,

January 1 to December 31), the company had net cash PRISMruals of Rs.13.02 billion. Its strong

cash flows and superior profitability translate into sound debt protection measures; its interest

coverage and net cash PRISMruals to total debt ratios stood at 30.61 times and 4.14 times,

respectively, for 2007. As on December 31, 2007, the company had a gearing of 0.08 times.

CRISIL expects PRISM to maintain its strong debt protection measures on the back of its healthy

earnings and cash flows and expected cost reduction because of synergies with Ambuja

Cements. Even if cement prices were to soften, PRISMs financial risk profile would remain strong

enough to support the rating at the current level. Inorganic growth or higher-than-expected capital

expenditure in an unfavorable operating environment could strain the PRISM-Ambuja Cements

combines financial risk profile; these have, therefore, been identified as key rating sensitivity

factors that could lead to a revision in outlook to Negative.

Rating of Ambuja Cement

Rs.5 Billion Proposed Long-Term Bank Loan Facilities AAA/Stable

Rs.1 Billion Short-Term Debt Programme P1+

Rs.0.15 Billion Non-Convertible Debenture Programme AAA/Stable

Rs.0.30 Billion Non-Convertible Debenture Programme AAA/Stable

CRISIL has assigned its bank loan rating of AAA/Stable to the proposed bank facilities of

Ambuja Cements Ltd (Ambuja Cements), and has reaffirmed its rating on the companys short-

term debt programme at P1+. The ratings continue to reflect Ambuja Cements robust financial

risk profile, superior operating efficiency, and leading market position in northern and western

India. For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL has taken a consolidated view of the businesses of

Ambuja Cements and PRISM Ltd (PRISM), both of which have a substantive common

shareholder, namely, the international cement major, Holcim. In CRISILs view, the common

ownership as well as the common line of business holds incentives for both the Indian companies

to operate symbiotically, exploiting synergies on operating and financial fronts.

Ambuja Cements has an exceptionally strong financial risk profile marked by strong cash

PRISMruals, a healthy gearing, sound debt protection measures, and good financial flexibility. Its

strong cash flows and superior profitability translate into sound debt protection measures: the

interest coverage and the ratio of net cash PRISMruals to total debt (NCATD) for 2005-06 (refers

to the 18-month period, July 1, 2005 to December 31, 2006) were 18.93 times and 1.13 times,

29

8/6/2019 nitin kkkk

30/49

respectively. CRISIL estimates that, for 2007 (refers to calendar year, January 1 to December 31),

the interest coverage and the NCATD ratios were at 37 times and 4.3 times, respectively. Also, as

on December 31, 2006, the company had a gearing of 0.22 times; this is estimated to have

improved to 0.07 times as on December 31, 2007.

Ambuja Cements has a strong presence in the western and northern regions of India; it has

market shares of around 17 per cent in both these regions. CRISIL expects Ambuja Cements

presence to be strengthened by its alliance with PRISM, which has a pan-India presence.

CRISIL expects Ambuja Cements to maintain its strong debt protection measures over the

medium term. Even if the market softens, the financial profile is likely to remain strong enough to

support the current rating. The outlook may be revised to Negative if Holcim seeks to utilize

Ambuja Cements financial resources to support its group companies. Inorganic growth plans or

higher-than-expected capital expenditure in an unfavorable operating environment may strain the

financial profile; these have, therefore, been identified as key rating sensitivity factors.

Rating of KCP Limited

Rs.3321 Million Term Loan

(Enhanced from Rs.936 Million)A-/Stable

Rs.425 Million Cash Credit

(Enhanced from Rs.350 Million)A-/Stable

Rs.336 Million Letter of Credit/Bank Guarantee P2+

The KCP group was founded in 1941 by Mr. V Ramakrishna, a first-generation entrepreneur who

set up a sugar manufacturing unit. The companys cement division commenced operations in

1958. KCP operates a cement plant with a capacity of 0.66 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) in

Andhra Pradeshs Guntur district. The company is in the process of setting up additional capacity

of 1.2 mtpa, which will take its total cement capacity to 1.86 mtpa. The companys heavy

engineering division was established in 1955 in Chennai (Tiruvottiyur). This division is involved in

casting, fabrication, and machining heavy equipment for core industries such as sugar, cement,steel, and power.

CRISILs ratings on The KCP Ltds (KCPs) bank facilities continue to reflect the buoyancy in

cement business realizations because of robust demand in South India, and the companys

strong market position in both cement and engineering businesses. These rating strengths are

partially offset by KCPs planned debt-funded capital expenditure (capex), which will adversely

30

8/6/2019 nitin kkkk

31/49

affect its existing capital structure, and its diversification into new, unrelated businesses. For

arriving at the ratings, CRISIL has combined the financials of KCP and its subsidiaries, as all the

entities are under a common management and have operational linkages.

CRISIL believes that KCP will be able to maintain its sound debt protection measures and will

continue to see healthy earnings and cash flows over the medium term. The outlook may be

revised to Positive if the company manages to strengthen its market position in cement after the

capacity expansion, while maintaining its current operating margins. Conversely, it may be

revised to Negative in case the company takes on more-than-expected debt to fund it capex or

inorganic growth plans, or seeks to increase its exposure to group entities.

Rating of Lafarge India

Rs.375 Million Cash Credit AA-/Stable

Rs.75 Million Working Capital Demand Loan AA-/Stable

Rs. 500 Million Letter of Credit* P1+

Non Convertible Debenture Aggregating Rs.950 Million AA-/Stable

Rs.1000 Million Short Term Debt Programme P1+

CRISIL has assigned its bank loan ratings of AA-/Stable/P1+ to the various bank facilities of

Lafarge India Pvt Ltd (Lafarge India). These ratings are driven by the strong support that the

company receives from its parent, Lafarge SA (rated 'BBB/A-2/Stable' by Standard & Poors),

and Lafarge Indias strong market position in eastern India and its improving operating efficiency.

These rating strengths are, however, partially offset by Lafarge Indias large, debt-funded capital

expenditure (capex) plan. CRISIL has also withdrawn the ratings assigned to the short-term debt

and non-convertible debentures of the company, following a request from Lafarge India. No

amounts are outstanding against these instruments.

Lafarge SA has consistently extended managerial, technological, and financial support to Lafarge

India. The Lafarge group considers the Asia-Pacific region to be strategically-important to its

growth. Owing to Indias strong gross domestic product (GDP) growth and healthy demand

potential, Lafarge SA considers investing in India important to its business.

Lafarge India is the third largest cement manufacturer in eastern India. Its strong brand equity, as

a result of its good quality products and innovative promotional campaigns, helps it command a

premium in price. CRISIL believes that with expansion of capacity, Lafarge India will continue to

generate stable revenues over the medium term. Reduction in power consumption and

31

8/6/2019 nitin kkkk

32/49

transportation costs and use of captive power have helped Lafarge India improve its operating

efficiency.

However, Lafarge Indias large, debt-funded capex is likely to constrain significant improvement in

its capital structure. In the past, the company has had a highly-leveraged capital structure, with a

gearing of more than 1. Due to the borrowings to fund the capex, the gearing is likely to remain

high.

CRISIL believes that Lafarge India will continue to receive support from Lafarge SA in the event of

distress. Lafarge India is likely to generate stable revenues over the medium term, backed by its

strong market position. The outlook may be revised to Positive if Lafarge India takes on lesser

debt than expected to fund its capex programme. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to

Negative if there are time and cost overruns on Lafarge Indias projects, or if the company takes

on more debt than expected to fund its capex.

Rating of Madras Cement Ltd.

Rs.0.8 Billion* Non-Convertible Debentures Issue A+/Stable

Fixed Deposit Programme FAA-/Stable

Rs.1.45 Billion Short-Term Debt Programme P1

CRISILs rating on Madras Cements Ltds (Madras Cements) debt programme reflects the

companys strong market position in South India; healthy operating efficiencies marked by low

freight costs, low dependence on grid power; and extensive use of blending. The ratings alsofactor in Madras Cements above-average operating margins and financial flexibility. These rating

strengths are, however, partially offset by expected delays in Madras Cements capital structure

improvement programmes and the companys exposure to the loss-making Ramco Systems.

Madras Cements is a leading cement manufacturer in South India and ranks second in its core

markets of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The companys operating efficiency levels are the highest in

the Indian cement industry. These factors, in conjunction with a buoyant cement price outlook,

underpin CRISILs expectation that Madras Cements operating margins will improve despite fuel

and freight cost pressures. CRISIL believes that Madras Cements cost competitive operationsgive it a competitive edge over its peers, enabling it to offset the impact of price volatility in its

markets. The company enjoys strong financial flexibility, as it has PRISMess to the capital

markets to refinance its existing debt and obtain debt at competitive interest rates.

However, regular debt-funded expansions and support to Ramco Systems, a loss-making group

company, have impaired Madras Cements capital structure and weakened its financial risk

32

8/6/2019 nitin kkkk

33/49

profile. The gearing as on March 31, 2007, adjusted for a guarantee of Rs.890 million provided to

Ramco Systems, was 1.02 times. Madras Cements has a total exposure of Rs.1.09 billion in

Ramco Systems, which amounts to about 17 per cent of Madras Cements tangible net worth as

on March 31, 2007. However, given the groups significant reliance on Madras Cements for

financial support, due to its status as the main revenue-generating company for the group, the

delayed financial improvement in Ramco Systems could lead to write-down of this exposure over

the medium term.

CRISIL expects that Madras Cements strong operating efficiencies and established position in

the cement market in southern India will help it counter the volatility inherent to the industry. The

outlook may be revised to positive if the companys capital structure undergoes material

correction. Conversely, the outlook could be revised to negative if cement realizations in South

India deteriorate over the medium term, either due to greater than expected capacity additions or

a slowdown in demand.

Rs.233 Million Letter of Credit P1+

Rs.119 Million Bank Guarantee P1+

Rs.48 Million Proposed Short Term Bank Loan Facility P1+

Incorporated in 1984 as Devi Cements Ltd, MHIL got its present name after promoter, Dr. JRameswar Rao, acquired the shares of the other initial promoter, Dr. Nani Gopal. Dr. Rao

divested 42 per cent of his stake in MHIL to the Dublin-based CRH group for Rs.13.37 billion in

May 2008. The CRH group invested Rs.5.17 billion in MHIL in May 2008, to increase its stake in

the company to 50 per cent. The company manufactures ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and

Portland pozzolana cement (PPC), and has three units with a combined capacity of 3.2 million

tonnes per annum. MHIL also owns a 15 mega watt (MW) captive power plant. MHILs cement is

marketed under the MAHA brand. For 2007-08 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31),

MHIL reported a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs.1759 million on net sales of Rs.7651 million, as

against a PAT of Rs.910 million on net sales of Rs.4260 million for 2006-07.

CRISIL has assigned its ratings of AA-/Stable/P1+ to the various bank facilities of Jaypee

Group. The ratings reflect MHILs improving market position in the cement industry, with

leadership position in Andhra Pradesh, and healthy operating efficiency, supported by backward

integration for raw materials. The ratings are underpinned by MHILs strong financial position,

backed by a comfortable capital structure and debt protection measures. These strengths are,

33

8/6/2019 nitin kkkk

34/49

however, partially offset by MHILs exposure to risks relating to the cyclical and commodity nature

of the companys business.

CRISIL expects MHIL to maintain its established market position in Andhra Pradesh, and strong

cash PRISMruals. Substantial improvement in market position, backed by geographical

diversification initiatives, may lead to a revision in outlook to Positive. Conversely, the outlook

may be revised to Negative in the event of large, debt-funded capital expenditure, and unrelated

diversifications.

Rating for Sagar Cement

Rs.2500 Million Term Loan Limits* BBB/Stable

Rs.35 Million Bank Guarantee P3+

Rs.115 Million Letter of Credit P3+

Sagar Cements began operations in 1985 with a single cement manufacturing unit at Nalgonda,

Andhra Pradesh, with an ordinary Portland cement (OPC) capacity of 60,000 tonnes per annum

(TPA) and a clinker capacity of 66,000 TPA. Currently, SCL has a clinker capacity of 550,000 TPA

and cement capacity of 297,000 TPA. The primary market for the Sagar brand is Hyderabad,

Khammam, Nalgonda, Krishna, and East and West Godavari districts. The company is expanding

its cement and clinker capacities by 2.2 million TPA and 1.5 million TPA. SPL has two hydel

power plants with a total capacity of 8.3 mega watt (MW). The group reported a profit after tax(PAT) of Rs.331 million on net sales of Rs.2.231 billion in 2007-08 (refers to financial year, April 1

to March 31), as against a PAT of Rs.312 million on net sales of Rs.1.98 billion for the previous

year

CRISIL has assigned its ratings of BBB/Stable/P3+ to the various bank facilities of Sagar

Cements Ltd (Sagar Cements). The ratings reflect Sagar Cements operating efficiencies,

supported by backward integration for raw material, and above-average financial profile. These

strengths are, however, partially offset by the companys marginal market position and exposure

to cyclicality in, and commodity nature of, the cement business.

CRISIL has combined the financials of Sagar Cements and its subsidiary, Sagar Power Limited

(SPL), for arriving at the ratings; this is because Sagar Cements and SPL (referred to as the

Sagar group) have strong operational linkages and are under a common management.

34

8/6/2019 nitin kkkk

35/49

The Sagar Groups strong cash PRISMruals will help it maintain its credit risk profile despite its

large capital expenditure (capex) plans. Aggressive debt funding of the projects which are in

planning stage or any debt-funded capital expenditure in addition to that already expected may

drive a change in outlook to Negative. Conversely, an improvement in business profile of the

company while maintaining the above average financial profile may have a positive impact on the

rating.

programmes and bank facilities at AAA/Stable/P1+ . The ratings continue to reflect Grasim

Industries Ltds (Grasims; rated AAA/Stable/P1+ by CRISIL) ownership of UltraTech, and the

two companies common line of business; these serve as incentives for Grasim to support

UltraTech in times of distress. CRISIL believes that both Grasim and UltraTech will operate

symbiotically, exploiting synergies on both the operating and financial fronts. These rating

strengths are partially offset by UltraTechs improving, but average, operating efficiency and

modest financial risk profile.

For arriving at its ratings, CRISIL has combined the financials of UltraTech and its subsidiaries,

Dakshin Cements Ltd and UltraTech Ceylinco Pvt Ltd, because of their common management

and strong business synergies. CRISIL has also combined the business profiles of UltraTech and

Grasim, in its analysis of UltraTechs credit risk profile.

UltraTech is an important part of Grasims growth plans. The UltraTechGrasim combine is the

eleventh largest cement producer globally, and the second largest cement combine in India, with

a share of 17.4 per cent of the domestic market, as on September 30, 2008. The two companies

have operational synergies in several fields, including procurement of raw materials,

manufacturing, common branding, dealer networking, logistics, and exchange of key personnel.

The combine has market shares of around 28 per cent in the western region of India, and around

15 per cent in the southern region.

However, UltraTechs operating margins are likely to be adversely affected in the coming years

because of the downturn in the cement industry and the subsequent pressure on realizations.

CRISIL believes that UltraTechs capital structure will remain constrained over the medium term,

given the companys large capital expenditure (capex) plans of around Rs.18 billion, spread over

the next three years.

UltraTechs profitability is expected to be adversely affected in the medium term on PRISMount of

the downturn in the cement industry, however, CRISIL expects UltraTech to maintain a robust

credit risk profile on the back of operational and financial support from parent, Grasim. The

outlook may be revised to Negative if Grasims credit risk profile or UltraTechs financial risk

profile weakens considerably from current levels or, UltraTech undertakes higher than expected

debt funded capex.

Rating of Grasim Industries

Rs.20.00 Billion Non Convertible Debenture # AAA/Stable

Rs.40.00 Billion Proposed Long Term Bank Loan Facility # AAA/Stable

Rs.6.00 Billion Short Term Debt Programme # P1+

CRISIL has assigned its ratings of AAA/Stable/P1+ to the debt programmes and various bank

facilities of Grasim Industries Ltd (Grasim). The ratings reflect the strong combined marketposition of Grasim and its subsidiary UltraTech Cement Ltd (UltraTech; rated AAA/Stable/P1+ by

CRISIL) in the domestic cement market, Grasims leading market position in the viscose staple

fibre (VSF) business in India, and its strong financial risk profile supported by healthy cash

PRISMruals. These rating strengths are partially offset by the cyclical nature of the companys

businesses.

For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL has combined the financials of Grasim and its subsidiaries,

including UltraTech. CRISIL has also combined the business profiles of Grasim and UltraTech, in

its analysis of Grasims cement business.

The Grasim-UltraTech combine is the eleventh-largest cement producer globally, and is slated to

become the seventh-largest after completion of its expansion plans. It is among the two largest

cement combines in India, with a share of 17.4 per cent of the domestic market as on September

30, 2008. The combine enjoys market shares of around 28 per cent in the western region, and

around 15 per cent in the southern region. In VSF, Grasim is the sole producer in the domestic

36

8/6/2019 nitin kkkk

37/49

market, and has 11 per cent global market share. Grasims presence across the VSF value chain

and strong backward integration, combined with its strong market position, strengthen its VSF

business.

However, Grasims operating margins are likely to be adversely affected in the coming years on

PRISMount of the downturn in the cement industry and the subsequent pressure on realizations.

Through 2007-08 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31), the company had a robust capital

structure, with a consolidated gearing of 0.68 times as on March 31, 2008. The debt protection

measures are also strong; for 2007-08, the ratio of net cash PRISMruals to total debt (NCATD)

and interest coverage were at 0.65 times and 26.81 times, respectively. CRISIL believes that

Grasim will retain its robust financial risk profile over the medium term, as the company will

continue to post strong cash PRISMruals and will have relatively small fixed commitments, in the

form of debt repayments and capital expenditure (capex).

CRISIL expects Grasim to maintain its strong debt protection measures over the medium term.

Even if the market softens, the cash PRISMruals are likely to remain strong enough to support

the current rating. The outlook may be revised to Negative if Grasim announces capex that is

significantly higher than expected, or announces any major inorganic growth plan or any material

increase in exposure to group companies from existing levels.

DATA ANALYSIS & FINDINGS

Market share graph for distt. Allahabad:

The graph clearly shows that the Jaypee Cement has largest market share in Allahabad, followed

by PRISM cement and J.P. Cement.The main reason behind this excess market share goes to

the higher number of dealers of Jaypee cement than other brands.PRISM Cement on the other

hand is having a good market share due to a nicely balanced supply chain of dealers along with

many retailers. All the other brands like Sri Ram and Bangur are struggling to find market in

Allahabad.

The graph clearly shows that most of the dealers are well satisfied with the services provided to

them by the brand they deal in. The services include timely supply of cement, regular visits by the

company officials, different type of incentive schemes meant for the dealers etc. The other side of

the fact can be that-being loyal to their respective cement brands, the dealers didnt want to give

a poor image of the company i.e. they were not satisfied with the company but responded

positively.

the other hand, customers are very sure about the thing that Jaypee cement provides

much better quality.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

1. The major problem of the survey was that most of the respondents being very loyal to

their brands didnt give exact answers .like they didnt talk much about what problems

they are facing, what are the different marketing schemes of the brand in which they deal

etc.

2. Once we got the questionnaire filled, we need to restart the conversation in a very

generalized way and talk about the local market conditions. Like who is the main dealer,

which cement is mostly sold in that area etc.so this survey demands a good piece of time

while talking to the respondent. Also Allahabad & Allahabad are both big Distts. With a

number of small towns and villages. So to complete the survey within 2 months timeseems to be a bit difficult.

3. Some of the respondents may have told their average monthly sale more than the actual.

Because all of them think that the monthly sale attached with the market image of their

shop.

4. Many of the dealers/retailers refused to answer any question atall.So the actual figures

can be somewhat different from the one that we have found out

5. Being new to the Allahabad, it is quite possible that I was unable to explore some of the

dealers/retailers.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Based upon the time spent by me in the market, usefull suggestions of the dealers & retailers and

the findings from the survey, following recommendations can be suggested for increasing sales

and effectiveness of Jaypee Cement:

What matters for most of the cement buyers is the price of the cement and then the

quality. While visiting market for cement purchase, they dont care about which brand

they are going to buy. They simply know that X is ongoing price of the cement, if any

brand costs higher than X, they will not buy that brand. Jaypee Cement usually costs 4-5

Rs. Higher than the other counterparts. So the buyers, to much extant not interested in

buying Jaypee cement. This extra price is the main reason behind lower sales.therefore,

Jaypee need to take some serious steps to reduce the selling price somehow.

The second thing is that a good percentage of buyers is still unaware of the fact that

Jaypee cement is the changed name of Birla cement.Birla cement had a very good image

and it is still very popular among the customers. But people are not so much sure about

Jaypee cement. so Jaypee need to take some steps to make people familiar with the

Birla cement and Jaypee relation. Because this will bring the old Birla loyal customers to

Jaypee cement.

The number of retailers and sub dealers for Jaypee cement is very less as compared to

the main competitors PRISM, PRISM etc.So Jaypee need to be oriented in this direction.

They need to increase the no. of retailers as much as possible. Although Jaypee has

taken a right step with the retailer registration scheme to increase the no. of retailers. but

this scheme needs some improvements. For ex-margin for the retailers can be increased,

we can assure them some gifts also. While working, I saw that the main condition for this

new scheme was that the retailer will not sell any other brand of cement. Most of the

retailers refused the scheme due to this particular reason. So Jaypee needs to give them

some relaxation in this case.

Many of the Jaypee dealers used to shop other type of building materials along with

cement, in the same shop. This should not be permitted by Jaypee.Because selling of

these building materials is more profitable than cement, so the cement selling becomes

less important for these dealers. They dont give proper attention to the company officials

42

8/6/2019 nitin kkkk

43/49

and also to the various schemes of increasing sales. This in turn brings reduced sales to

the company

Jaypee Cement has market image of a modern cement with very good quality. It should

try to encash this image. Its mainly the younger section of people who care about quality

first and then the price. So Jaypee needs to give proper attention to the youngsters. Maybe, they are not the cement buyers at present but future possibility lies with them.

Jaypee also should have a check on the upcoming threat of imported cement from

Pakistan. The import of cement from Pakistan has just started and very quickly it has

become successful in the southern markets. The main reason behind this success is the

lower price. The Pak cement brands like Lucky, Mapple Leaf and Elephant costs 10-15

Rs. Lesser than the local Indian brands. Jaypee which is already facing charges of higher

price needs to be prepared for this.

Some of the Jaypee dealers complained that they are losing the customers loyal to their

shops, due to the high price of the cement provided by them. So at some point, the

dealers are not satisfied with the company. This need to be taken seriously by

Jaypee.Some more incentive schemes should be introduced for the dealers and also the

frequency of visits from company officials need to be increased.

POSSIBLE ADVERTISEMENT METHODS

All of the cement brands use the similar methods of advertising like- painting walls, use banners,

giving free gifts to the dealers and masons etc.There are still many possible methods of

advertisement and creating brand awareness, which are untouched. Some of these methods are

as below:

Local cable T.V. can be used for advertising as well as to give details about the major

dealer/dealers in the city. Details like address, contact no. of the dealer, different

schemes, current market price etc can be shown.

Local F.M. stations of allahabad are also reaching a good part of listeners. So these can

also be used for the same purpose.

Banners, paintings are used mainly on the tractor trolleys, dealers shop and on walls

only. We can think about using banners on rickshaws and autos also.

Different type of incentive schemes, free gifts are mainly for dealers and sometimes for

the masons. As a change, we can also try to attract the customers directly. For ex-

discount coupons, small free gifts, scratch cards etc can be made available for thecustomers.

A number of meetings are organized by all the cement companies with the local masons.

Most of the masons are very less educated. They attend many meetings. So it may

become difficult for them to recognize a particular cement brand. What we can do in this

case is to take help of Advertising i.e. we need to put the Jaypee logo on the hands of

these masons. So that next time they saw this logo, they found themselves a bit familiar

with the company.

The masons meet are organized by the company regularly. This needs some

improvements. We need to decrease the frequency of these meets. What we can do is

that organize a big meet with a no. of people, higher company officials, entertainment,

and snacks for all. The presence of company officials in the meeting is not alone

sufficient. We need to call some big personalities from that city only. The people like

these masons are more impressed by the presence of Govt.officials.

CONCLUSION

Jaypee has one major competitor- PRISM CEMENT.

Jaypee is well established in the markets as far as quality is concerned.

Introduction of new attractive incentive schemes can bring new dealers & retailers for

Jaypee cement.

Price is the major factor that matters for a customer while purchasing cement

Market share increases with the increase in no. of dealers.
