The UltraTech brand occupies a premium position with a market capitalization of Rs crores.

The Indian cement industry has a capacity of 409 million tonnes and a supply demand gap putting pressure of prices due to excess capacity.

The market has strong regional players in each Zone and has strong brand competition.

Supply chain is extremely critical in ensuring the delivery of cement from the manufacturing locations to the consumption centers.

Logistics function plays a key differentiator role through its distribution network and the focus has been on creating continuous value and service differentiation at each stage right from planning to delivery.

The nature of cement consumption in urban locations is quite different from the nature of cement consumption in rural locations which calls for differentiated supply chain strategies to serve urban and rural customers.
