Major Growth Factor: INFRASTRUCTURE This development is likely to sustain in 11th plan & the 12th one also. Most important factor negating India’s growth is the fact that the infrastructure consisting of Roads, railways, ports, airports, communication and electric power is not up to the standard of competitors. Thus keeping a single point agenda – India has set out to circumvent this worrisome factor & has aligned various infrastructures projects to help attain this vision. Realizing there is a huge demand base for infrastructure in the rapidly growing economy, investments worth USD 85 billion (Rs. 3, 41,308 crore) are planned by the business houses in the sectors like core, physical and service Infrastructure. This makes up for the maximum 81% of the total planned Investments during the third quarter of current financial.

Indian Cement Industry on growth trajectory. . . The Cement industry has continued its growth trajectory over the past seven years.

Domestic cement demand growth has surpassed the economic growth rate of the country for the past couple of years. Over the past five years (FY03-07), cement demand has grown at a CAGR of 8.37% higher than the CAGR of supply at 4.84%. Demand for cement in the country is expected to continue its buoyant ride on the back of robust economic growth and infrastructure development in the country. The key drivers for cement demand are real estate sector, infrastructure projects and industrial expansion projects. Among these, real estate sector is the key driver and accounted for almost 55% of cement demand in FY 07. During the period FY 03 – 07, capacity additions in the country (30.6 mn tonnes) were at a slower rate compared to demand growth leading to higher average capacity utilization rates from 81.3% in FY 03 to 93.8% in FY 07. This exerted pressure on average prices which have increased from Rs. 156 per bag in FY 03 to Rs. 216 per bag in FY 07. In December 2007, prices stood at Rs. 245 - Rs. 250 per bag.

Low capacity addition coupled with higher utilization rate also led to increase in proportion of blended cements in product mix. Cement is a bulky commodity and cannot be easily transported over long distances making it a regional market place, with the nation being divided into five regions. Each region is characterized by its own demand-supply dynamics. The Southern region dominated the cement consumption at 44.5 mn tonnes in FY 07, accounting for about 30% of total domestic cement consumption. Average realizations have increased from Rs. 1,880 per tonne in FY 03 to Rs. 3,133 per tonne in FY 07, at a CAGR of 13.6%, which has resulted in higher profit margins of the industry. To reduce the cost of production, the industry is increasing its focus on captive power generation. Proportion of cement production through captive power route has increased over the years. Also, cement movement by rail has increased over the years. Market share of top five players in the industry has increased from 42% in FY 02 to 56% in FY 07. Domestic Cement industry is highly insulated from global cement markets. Exports have been constant at about 6% of total cement demand for past few years. With GoI intervention, making cement duty free, cement is being imported from neighboring countries. However, due to logistics issues and lack of port handling capabilities, imports of cement will remain negligible and do not pose a threat to domestic industry. Cement demand is expected to remain buoyant driven by boost in

construction sector in the country. It is estimated that the domestic cement demand will grow at a CAGR of approximately 10% for the next 5 years. The current tight demand - supply situation is expected to extend up to end of calendar year 2008 owing to delays in capacity expansion programmes by various companies. Expected prices will remain firm till the end of CY2008 due to tight demand - supply situation and increase in input costs. Cement Unit: Jaiprakash Associates Jaypee group is the 4th largest cement producer in the country. Cement facilities are located in the Satna Cluster (U.P), which has one of the highest cement production growth rates in India. The group produces Ordinary Portland Cement and Pozzolana Portland Cement under the brand names “Buland” and “Buniyad”. Rewa & Bela cement plant located in Rewa, Madhya Pradesh has an aggregate capacity of 7 million tones p.a.

Further the company is setting up a green field cement plant at Baga and blending/grinding plant at Bagheri, both in Himachal Pradesh, a clinker grinding plant at Panipat in Haryana and one plant at Sidhi in Madhya Pradesh. Besides this, the company has its grinding and blending units in Uttar Pradesh. To reduce the freight and handling cost on cement dispatches as well as coal and gypsum in Cement Division a railway siding inside the Jaypee Bela Plant has been commissioned in August, 2006 also commissioned a thermal power plant of 38.5 MW at Rewa Plant in August, 2006. The company has also undertaken creation of new/enhancement of existing capacities of cement/cement products, directly or through Joint Venture Special Purpose Vehicles over a period of next five years with an approximate capital outlay of Rs.3000 crores. The group currently has a Captive Thermal Power generation capacity of 88.5 MW at its cement complex at M.P. Each of the new cement plants coming up would be having captive Thermal plants from day one to ensure most cost effective source of power, taking the total captive generation to 250 MW by 2010. Keeping pace with the advancements in the IT industry, all the 120 cement dumps are networked using TDM/TDMA VSATs along with a dedicated hub to provide 24/7 connectivity between the plants and all the 120 points of cement distribution in order to ensure “track – the – truck” initiative and provide seamless integration. This initiative is the first of its kind in the cement industry in India. In the near future, the group plans to expand its cement capacities via acquisition and Greenfield additions to maximize economies of scale and build on vision to focus on large size plants from inception. With its plans of adding capacities in different regions of the Country, the Group is poised to be a 25 MTPA cement producer by the year 2010 and 30.5 MTPA by 2011. Thus, it is likely to be third largest cement producer in the country.

Hospitality:

The Indian hospitality industry is growing at an unprecedented rate and economic liberalization has given a new impetus to the hospitality industry. The travel and hospitality industry continues to be the sector, which has largely profited from the fast growing economy of India & relaxed foreign investment limits. This has largely led to the 4.4 m tourist arrivals in Financial Year 2007 (13% growth) over the previous period. The compounded growth in tourist inflow over the last ten years (FY97-FY07) has been 4.3%, while in the last five years, growth stands at 11.6% per annum.

Jaypee Siddhartha

The hotel industry went through a rough patch between FY00 to FY04 owing to factors like the Asian financial crisis, Afghan war, Middle East unrest, September 11 attacks, SARS and domestic riots. India occupies the 46th position among the sixty tourist destinations in the world. The flourishing economy helped boost the demand for the industry. Also, Efforts to diversify tourist attractions by offering new products such as adventure tourism, wellness tourism, medical tourism and golf tourism are expected to have a positive effect on both foreign tourist arrivals and domestic tourist arrivals.

Future of hospitality sector: To boost up the growth of tourism in India, the government invested Rs. 520 crore in 2007-2008. Tourism in expected to grow further over the next few years due to the changes taking place on the demand and supply sides.

Concerns:

With the inflation figures touching 8.75%, Government is pressurizing all cement manufacturers to lower prices despite

increase in raw material prices. It has already banned export of cement leading to further stocking in local markets &

consequent pressure on prices.

Company faces peer pressure due to heavy competition in the construction sector.

High cost of Steel shall have an escalating effect on the margins.

Synopsis: One of the market leaders in the construction sector. Belongs to a very reputed house. It shall be playing a very dominant part in this sector in the near future. With companies large pool of knowledge, skill & experience it is equipped to execute all projects without cost overruns. This gives it an edge over others in this field. Operating profit margins in construction are very strong. As capacity expansion plans of cement units materialize, it shall soon become the 3rd largest producer in the country.
