Why India Cements and Cement Sector

Cement demand is likely to improve gradually with a medium term outlook in line with the recovery in infrastructure, investment cycle and overall economy. The weakness in the international crude oil prices and other commodities such as Coal that too has helped in bringing costs under control and improving profitability of the sector.

India Cements reported net profit of Rs 36.60 crore in Q4 March 2015 as compared to net loss of Rs 157.12 crore in Q4 March 2014. Total income fell 7.3% to Rs 1043.10 crore in Q4 March 2015 over in Q4 March 2014.
