Attractive
Opportunities

* In October 2021, Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi, launched the ‘PM Gati Shakti - National Master Plan (NMP)’ for multimodal connectivity. Gati Shakti will bring synergy to create a world-class, seamless multimodal transport network in India. This will boost the demand for cement in the future.

Attractive Opportunities

Increasing
Investments

* FDI inflows in the industry, related to the manufacturing of cement and gypsum products, reached US$ 5.49 billion between April 2000-September 2022.
