India: India Cement net profit fell to US$2.74m in the year to 31 March 2019 from US$9.56m in the same period in 2018. It blamed competition in the south of the country and low prices in the first nine months of the year. Its power and fuel costs also rose during the period. Despite this its income grew by 6% year-on-year to US$836m from US$785m. Its cement sales volumes rose by 11% to 12.4Mt from 11.2Mt.
