Cement prices are on a downward spiral with the onset of monsoon. Prices in the southern states have started to peel off, with Chennai witnessing a drop of Rs 10 per 50-kg bag from June 1 for the trade segment and a drop of Rs 15 per bag for the non-trade.
In the eastern part of the country, cement prices have fallen by Rs 5 per 50-kg bag. Cement prices for retail buyers have come down to Rs 280-285 per bag and wholesale prices have fallen to Rs 275 per bag for Grade-A cement buyers. At present, sales have fallen and prices have been falling by Rs 5 per bag every week since the first week of June.
Prices in Maharashtra remain at high levels due to supply issues. Demand remains weak owing to slow clearance of projects and onset of early monsoons, which affected repair work in Mumbai. Prices in Gujarat have gone down due to the high level of supplies. Cement markets are expected to remain weak until September. The cement price in Mumbai is at Rs 260-288 per bag in June, a drop of Rs 6-15.
