Market Dynamics and Capacity Expansion
The brokerage expects capacity additions to reach their peak during FY27, which represents a significant milestone in the company's expansion strategy. This timing is crucial as it positions the company to benefit from improved market conditions in subsequent periods.
Supply-Demand Outlook
HSBC anticipates that supply-demand dynamics will show marked improvement starting from FY28. This improvement is expected to create a more favorable operating environment for cement manufacturers, potentially leading to better pricing power and utilization rates.

The expected price hikes during the April-May period are viewed as a critical mechanism for the company to address rising energy costs. These pricing adjustments are anticipated to support the company's earnings recovery by helping offset inflationary pressures on input costs.

HSBC's target price of Rs 2490 reflects their assessment of these positive operational and market factors converging to support the company's financial performance.
