Fuel sourcing challenges mount for cement makers
The conflict in West Asia, now entering its second month, is expected to raise costs for the cement industry by Rs 175–200 per tonne, analysts said, as imported fuel prices rise and companies run through their typical 30–45-day inventories. Imported pet coke and coal—central to the industry’s fuel mix— have already risen by 11% and 7%, respectively, since the onset of the conflict. The trajectory remains upward amid geopolitical uncertainty, which is likely to keep both availability and pricing volatile. India depends heavily on overseas markets for pet coke. The US accounts for about 50% of imports, followed by West Asian countries at around 30%. The impact is significant for an industry where power and fuel costs make up 30–35% of production expenses, and pet coke and coal together account for 85–90% of the fuel mix.
