With the potential for development in the infrastructure and construction sector, the cement sector is expected to largely benefit from the country. “Major government initiatives such as ‘smart cities’, ‘Housing for all’ etc. are expected to provide a major boost to the sector” as per RNCOS analysis.
 
“The housing sector in the country accounts for nearly 67% of the total cement consumption. Further, with the allocation of INR 23,000 Crore by the Finance Minister in 2017, the country has set a target of building 1 Crore houses by 2019” said, Shushmul Maheshwari, CEO – RNCOS. He added with the government's thrust on infrastructure and housing, cement demand is expected to increase in the future.
