Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• The cement sector is a major contributor to the country’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
• Rising competition in limiting price increases, which have largely remained range bound despite good demand numbers in FY23-24.
• Depletion of high cement grade limestone, presently Indian cement industry is facing an acute cement raw material problem for smooth plant operation and manufacture of higher grades of cement.
• The rise in energy and transportation costs, along with continued pressures from environment regulations, are top concerns.
• Overcapacity in China has led to increased exports of cement to other countries, which further complicates the global market landscape.

Mitigation Strategies

• The Indian cement industry is also taking steps to reduce its environmental impact through the adoption of new technologies.
• Focus on volume push by the manufacturers coupled with efficiency improvement projects.
