Nirmal Bang Report

Aggregate revenue for the sector at Rs 305 billion was flat on YoY basis.

Volume at 60.3 million metric tonne increased by 1.3% YoY, indicating complete recovery in demand to pre-Covid-19 levels.

Most managements indicated that demand recovery is driven by rural and individual house building segments and that demand from the Infrastructure sector is relatively muted.
