According to a report by Kotak Equities, the Indian cement sector will recalibrate on multiple fronts in the next three years. “Record low leverage is driving a step-up in capacity additions at 5.5 per cent CAGR over FY2022-26E. We expect demand, too, to see a 7 per cent CAGR in FY2022-26E after a tepid FY2019-22 and keep utilisation stable. Investments in green energy should continue to reduce costs and carbon emissions. Large players should remain acquisitive and aid in sector consolidation.”
