Higher supply continued to weigh on the prices, as all-India average price contracted Research Analyst: Binod Modi for the third consecutive month by 1% MoM (~Rs3-4/bag) in Jan’21. Barring Eastern Contact: 9870009382 and Central regions, all other regions witnessed price contraction to the tune of 1-2.5% Email: [email protected] MoM. From the beginning of Feb’21, the prices are hiked especially in Western region and part of Easter region like Odisha markets and the dealers have been communicated for likely price hikes in other pockets in the coming weeks. In course of our monthly channel check for the cement industry, we spoke with the dealers and distributors across regions, the key takeaways of which are enumerated hereunder: Key Highlights: 1. Demand scenario continued to remain upbeat across regions in Jan’21 on the back of sustained pick-up in construction activities with labour availability reaching pre-COVID level. Further, rural demand continued to remain strong despite getting impacted moderately due to farmers’ agitation. 2. Notably, while the demand witnessed some moderation on MoM comparison (as cited by most of the dealers) due to base affect, it inched up meaningfully on YoY comparison. Further, pick-up in affordable housing and IHB (Independent House Builder) segment were the major contributors for demand revival. 3. However, higher supply continued to weigh on the prices, as all-India average price contracted for the third consecutive month by 1% MoM (~Rs3-4/bag) in Jan’21. Barring Eastern and Central regions, all three regions witnessed price contraction to the tune of 1-2.5% MoM. Further, current all-India average price is down by 2.2% compared to average price of 3QFY21. 4. The prices were hiked especially in Western region and some parts of Eastern region like Odisha markets. Further, the dealers have been communicated for likely price hikes in other pockets in the coming weeks. However, any meaningful price up-tick looks to be unlikely at least till Mar’21. 5. In our view, rebound in demand environment is likely to sustain in FY22E with double- digit volume growth mainly on account of huge government spending on infrastructure and revival in investment activities. However, the prices are unlikely to witness any meaningful up-tick due to: (a) likely increase in non-trade sales, which may weigh on average price; and (b) incremental new supply in the coming months. We continue to remain positive on the companies, which have built capacity to meet the incremental rise in demand.
