The phenomenal growth is powered by a rising middle class that is expected to more than triple to 89 million households by 2025, indicating an attractive long-term economic future. Rapid urbanisation has created a significant demand for urban housing and infrastructure with the number of cities with populations of more than one million increasing every year. Rural demand is also on the rise with the improvement in the rural economy. 3 The industry is expected to witness positive growth in the coming years, with consumption set to increase at a CAGR of around 9% from FY 2017 The increased focus of the government on infrastructure and to FY 2020 low cost housing on the back of rapid urbanization and uptick in rural economy augurs well for the Indian cement industry.

    The Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders Dear Shareholder, COVID-19 and the associated lockdowns across countries have triggered a once-in-a-century crisis for the society and the economy in 2020. January now seems like a month of a bygone era – such has been the enormity of change. This is a defining period in human and business history: one that will test the resilience of individuals, societies, corporations, and nations. Given the fog of uncertainty all around, it is hard to be prescient in these times. But there is little doubt on one reality: companies with quality leadership, sound business fundamentals, and a track record of winning in turbulent times, will emerge as champions in the new global order.

  • Grasim Industries: Wind of Change
    GRASIM INDUSTRIES: WIND OF CHANGE One must guard against falling prey to the 'last mile exhaustion' in the journey of change.1 - Kumar Mangalam Birla, Aditya Birla Group Introduction It was 15th November, 2009 and Rohit Ranjan, a public shareholder of Grasim Industries, was contemplating his investment in Grasim, in which he held 10,000 shares. 43 days earlier on October 3rd, 2009, Grasim had announced a restructuring scheme under which it planned to demerge its cement business into a wholly owned subsidiary called Samruddhi Cement ltd. and then merge the subsidiary into Ultratech Cements Ltd., in which it held 55% share.2 Grasim was one of the largest cement manufacturers in the country with a total consolidated annual capacity of 41.6 million tonnes. Grasim was also into VSF (Viscose Staple Fibre), Textiles and Chemicals business.3 The restructuring move was planned to create a focused pure-play cement entity for Grasim’s shareholders and re-strengthen Grasim’s control over the cement business. The restructuring was planned such that Grasim’s shareholders would also receive direct shareholding in Ultratech once the restructuring was completed. Rohit knew that he had to perform a valuation exercise in order to find the post-restructuring value per share of Grasim industries to identify whether he should hold or sell the shares. Rohit remembered the “Sum of the Parts” valuation methodology that he learned in his MBA and was planning to use it to arrive at the valuation. He also planned to consider the value of direct shareholding in Ultratech that Grasim’s shareholders would get.

This year will see an economic contraction, but this 2020 recession is turning out very different from the past recessions. It has been too sudden – almost off the cliff; its spread has been all-encompassing – affecting almost every economy and sector, and the plunge in economic activity levels and employment has been unprecedented. On the positive side, this recession is likely to be one of the shortest, assuming no second wave of the pandemic recurs.
