Cement Sector Growth in India

India is the world’s second-largest cement producer, contributing over 8% to the global installed capacity. The country holds significant potential for growth in the infrastructure and construction sectors, with the cement industry poised to benefit greatly from these developments.

In 2023, the market size of India’s cement industry reached 3.96 billion tonnes and is projected to grow to 5.99 billion tonnes by 2032, reflecting a CAGR of 4.7% from 2024 to 2032.

Between FY12 and FY23, the installed capacity increased by 61%, rising from 353 million tonnes in FY12 to 570 million tonnes in FY23. The cement sector’s capacity in India is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4-5% through FY27.

Factors to Consider Before Investing in the Cement Stocks

• Demand for Infrastructure and Construction: The growth of the infrastructure and real estate sectors directly impacts the demand for cement.
• Government Initiatives: Government policies and initiatives such as smart cities, housing for all, and infrastructure development schemes drive cement demand.
• Raw Material Costs: The cost of raw materials like limestone, coal, and gypsum plays a crucial role in determining profitability.
• Capacity Expansion: Expansion plans, mergers, or acquisitions can indicate growth prospects for cement companies.
• Environmental Regulations: Increasingly stringent environmental regulations can affect operational costs and production methods.
• Supply Chain & Logistics: The ability of cement companies to efficiently manage their supply chain and logistics affects margins.
• Financial Health of Companies: Look at debt levels, cash flow, and profit margins for a clearer understanding of a company’s stability.

Who Should Invest in Cement Stocks?

Cement stocks can be an option for long-term investors looking to capitalise on the growth of India’s infrastructure and real estate sectors. These stocks can be attractive to conservative investors due to their steady demand, low volatility, and the potential for dividends. However, investors should be prepared for cyclical fluctuations in demand based on macroeconomic factors such as interest rates and government policies.

Conclusion

The cement sector in India can present growth prospects driven by infrastructure development and urbanisation. However, investors must carefully evaluate each company’s financials, market positioning, and risks before making an investment decision.

Q3 FY 2025 Financial Highlights

In Q3 FY25, the bank reported a notable increase in customer deposits, which grew by 28.8% year-on-year (YoY), rising from ₹1,76,481 crore as of December 31, 2023, to ₹2,27,316 crore as of December 31, 2024.

Retail deposits, in particular, saw growth, expanding by 29.6% YoY, from ₹1,39,431 crore to ₹1,80,752 crore during the same period. The CASA (Current Account and Savings Account) deposits also increased by 32.3% YoY, reaching ₹1,13,078 crore from ₹85,492 crore, contributing to a CASA ratio of 47.7% as of December 31, 2024. Notably, retail deposits now constitute around 80% of the total customer deposits.

However, the bank’s Net Interest Margin (NIM) slightly declined to 6.04% in Q3 FY25, compared to 6.18% in Q2 FY25, primarily due to a decline in the micro-finance business and an increase in the share of wholesale banking in the bank’s portfolio.

Net profit, however, saw a significant decline of 53% YoY, falling from ₹716 crore in Q3 FY24 to ₹339 crore in Q3 FY25. Sequentially, the net profit grew by 69% QoQ from ₹201 crore in Q2 FY25. This decrease in profit was mainly due to reduced income from slowed disbursals of micro-finance loans, increased provisions for micro-finance, and the normalization of credit costs in non-microfinance businesses. The bank continues to focus on managing its business risks while improving its overall performance in a challenging macroeconomic environment.

Dividend Yield vs Dividend Ratio

The dividend yield is a financial metric that shows how much income an investor can expect to receive in the form of dividends relative to the price of the stock. It is calculated by dividing the annual dividends paid by the stock price, expressed as a percentage. A higher dividend yield indicates that the stock offers more income for every unit of investment, which can be attractive for income-focused investors.

On the other hand, the dividend payout ratio measures the proportion of a company’s earnings that are paid out as dividends. It is calculated by dividing the annual dividend by earnings per share (EPS). This ratio helps investors understand how much of a company’s profit is being distributed to shareholders, which can indicate financial stability or potential for reinvestment in the company’s growth.

Pros of Investing in Dividend Paying Stocks

• Steady Income: Dividend-paying stocks provide consistent income, making them an option for income-focused investors.
• Potential for Capital Appreciation: Dividend-paying companies can also exhibit long-term growth, offering both income and capital gains.
• Stability and Reliability: Companies that consistently pay dividends tend to be financially stable, which can reduce investment risk.

Cons of Investing in Dividend Paying Stocks

• Lower Growth Potential: Companies with high dividend payouts may reinvest less in their business, potentially limiting growth opportunities.
• Market Sensitivity: Economic downturns or company-specific issues can lead to a reduction or suspension of dividends, impacting investor returns.

Factors to Consider While Investing in Dividend Paying Stocks in India

• Dividend History: Look for companies with a consistent and reliable dividend payout history, signalling financial stability.
• Dividend Yield vs Payout Ratio: Ensure the company’s dividend payout ratio is sustainable and not too high, which might signal financial strain in the future.
• Company’s Financial Health: Assess the company’s earnings growth, debt levels, and cash flow to determine if it can continue paying dividends.
• Industry Performance: The stability of the industry the company operates in also plays a key role in determining dividend sustainability.
• Tax Implications: Understand the taxation policies applicable to dividend income and how they can impact your overall returns.
• Inflation and Economic Conditions: Consider how inflation and market cycles can impact dividend payments, as companies may reduce dividends during tough economic times.

Conclusion

Apart from these, there are several other dividend-paying stocks in India. Understand the business of the company and its financials before investing.
