• Today, the Indian cement industry is very large, second only to
China in terms of installed capacity, and has grown at a very fast pace in recent years. The rate of growth over the past 20 years has been phenomenal, Since 1992 India's cement production has more than quadrupled from around 50Mt/yr to 220Mt/yr in 2011.
• Although the Indian cement industry has some multinational cement giants, like Holcim and Lafarge, which have interests such as ACC, Ambuja Cement and Lafarge Birla Cement, the
Indian cement industry is broadly home-grown.
