South India’s cement manufacturers exporting to Myanmar, amidst low local demand

Posted on : 14 Oct, 2014

 

South India is witnessing low cement demand and to stay profitable, many cement manufacturers in the region such as Chettinad Cements, The India Cements, Dalmia Cements and Ramco Cements have started shipping cement to Myanmar.

 

After Sri Lanka, Myanmar is looked upon as the next export market by the cement manufacturers of the region.

 

Dalmia Cement, for instance is exporting approximately 10,000 to 12,000 tons of its cement from Dalmiapuram near Trichy in central Tamil Nadu to Tuticorin port in southern Tamil Nadu, from where the shipments heads to Myanmar.

 

The cement market continued to see decline in the 2013-14 with Kerala cement market reporting a flat growth of about 2%, while Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh (two of the biggest markets) witnessing negative growth.

 

In fact the cement producers in the region are said to be operating at about 55% of their actual capacities, due to the lack of demand.

 

Another cement manufacturer from the region - Ramco Cements has also begun exports to Myanmar and shipped about 40,000 tons by February 2014.

 

More on the cement market in Myanmar will be discussed in the session on 'Latest Cement Investment Destination - Myanmar' by Alok Agarwal, Independent Consultant at the upcoming 9th Middle East CemenTrade Summit on 28-29 October, 2014 in Dubai.
