“Cement demand has taken a knock in November because of the festive season and also North India normally during winter sees some curbs on agglomerate mining etc. and even construction activity takes a little bit of a backseat. So demand is slightly weak but it is better quarter-on-quarter and Q4 would be the best of the last few quarters that we have seen.”
Lower rainfall and decreased power and fuel costs contributed to the strong Q2 numbers of cement companies, despite the seasonally dull period. Investors responded positively to the robust performance.
