Reliance Securities Report

Quarterly performance of the cement industry is expected to surprise the street with better-than expected traction in demand environment.

Against the general expectation of approximately 5-10% demand contraction in Q2 FY21, we expect the cement demand to have remained either flat or have witnessed marginal YoY growth.

Average sales volume of the cement companies under our coverage universe is expected to increase by approximately 1.6% YoY and 30% QoQ mainly led by sharp recovery in Northern and Central markets.

Improved availability of labourers and pent-up demand aided the demand environment during the quarter.
