PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa records April sales volume of 1.3Mt 25 May 2021
PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa Tbk recorded a sales volume of 1.3Mt throughout April 2021. This realisation was 13 per cent higher than sales in the same period last year.
Director and Corporate Secretary of Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa, Antonius Marcos, said that this increase was mainly due to the fact that April last year was the first month of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia.
In April 2021 are around 100,000t lower than sales in March 2021 which reached 1.4Mt. This decline in monthly sales was due the beginning of the month of Ramadan. The cement sales cycle prior to Ramadan always show a slight decline compared to the previous month.
PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa sells 4Mt of cement in 1Q21 29 April 2021
The 1Q21 cement sales of PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa Tbk have seen a pick up. Indocement Director and Corporate Secretary, Antonius Marcos, said that in March 2021, the company recorded sales of 1.4Mt, more than 200,000t higher sales than in the previous month.
Indocement reached 4Mt during 1Q21 (3.9Mt in 1Q20) and the company still believes that sales growth in 2021 can reach four per cent higher than in 2020.
This year, Indocement will strengthen its sales in Sumatra. This is mostly due to the Trans-Sumatra Road project, which is considered to have a domino effect on cement demand. The strengthening of sales in Sumatra Island is supported by the existence of two Indocement cement terminals in Lampung and Palembang.
