The India Cements may delay investment

12 November 2019

India: The India Cements, south India's largest cement maker by volume, has stated that it may have to delay its planned capital expenditure projects, if the Indian economy continues its relative ‘slump.’ The company’s proposed projects include an investment of US$195m on a greenfield plant in Madhya Pradesh and a grinding plant in Uttar Pradesh.

India is going through what many consider to be a ‘unprecedented’ economic slowdown following GDP growth of ‘a mere 5% in the third quarter of 2019, a six year low. This has led to a slowdown in government spending, directly affecting cement consumption and capacity utilisation rate at The India Cements’ plants.

“We may hold back capital expenditure," said N Srinivasan, the company’s Vice Chairman and Managing Director. “I want to expand. I want to go there, but I want to be sure before I go!"

Eagle Cement confirms delay to new line at Malabuyoc plant

19 June 2019

The new unit had been scheduled to start operation in late 2020, according to the BusinessWorld newspaper. The holdup has been blamed on delays in obtaining permits for the project. However, the company intends to start selling cement in the Visayas region by the end of 2020 as originally promised.

John Paul L Ang, the president and chief executive Officer (CEO) of Eagle Cement, made the comments at the cement producer’s annual stockholders' meeting. Work on the new plant started in late 2017. Once complete the new line will bring the company’s total cement production capacity to 9.1Mt/yr.
