Jaiprakash Associates seeking to sell all assets

30 September 2022

India: Jaypee Group subsidiary Jaiprakash Associates is reportedly seeking to sell its remaining assets after receiving a new insolvency bid from State Bank of India. The Times of India newspaper has reported that the company has previously sold US$4.92bn-worth of assets to pay off debts.

Jaiprakash Associates chair and chief executive officer Manoj Gaur said "We have kept faith in the law of the land and helped maximise recoveries of the bank. The setback is due to circumstances and issues such as the UltraTech deal. Our intent is to clear all the dues.”

The producer failed to sell a cement plant to UltraTech Cement under a US$2.05bn, 21.2Mt/yr cement capacity deal in 2017.

Birla Corporation to invest US$1bn in cement capacity growth

28 September 2022

India: Birla Corporation plans to invest a total of US$1bn in realising its planned 50% cement capacity footprint expansion to 30Mt/yr by 2030. The producer is considering establishing 4Mt/yr-worth of new cement plants, possibly in the form of a new 4Mt/yr integrated cement plant in Chhattisgarh. It would also carry out 4Mt/yr-worth of upgrades and 2Mt/yr-worth of debottlenecking work.

The producer expects its newly commissioned Mukutban cement plant to contribute 600,000 - 700,000t of cement production during the remaining five months of the 2023 financial year, rising to 3Mt/yr by 2024.

During the 2022 financial year, Birla Corporation increased its cement sales volumes by 6% to 14Mt. The company said that it achieved 95% capacity utilisation throughout the year. It noted continuing cost pressures and slow demand growth so far in the 2023 financial year.

Chair Harsh Vardhan Lodha said "Things may not look up immediately, but post-Diwali we are hopeful of a robust turnaround."

Indian cement market profits expected to fall in 2023 financial year

28 September 2022

India: Ratings agency Crisil forecasts that the operating profitability of cement producers will decline by around 15% year-on-year to around US$11/t in the 2023 financial year due to growing fuel costs. However, it added that a 17% growth in cement demand in the quarter from April to June 2022 would mitigate the impact of this. It expects that growth in the cement market in the 2023 year will be driven by non-residential sectors such as infrastructure development and commercial projects. By region, growth is anticipated to increase fastest in eastern regions, followed by central and southern regions but the northern and western regions could be more subdued. It added that any significant delay in the reduction of petcoke and coal prices or any company that was unable to increase its cement prices would add further pressure to the market.
