Star Cement contemplates expansion into southern India

India: Star Cement is reportedly considering acquiring new cement assets in the southern India market. The Hindu newspaper has reported that the producer expects cement production capacity there to have a lower valuation than in its native north east India, due to its larger scale.

CEO Vinit Kumar Tiwari said “We have to find a target which is suitable for our appetite. We are open to all the areas. Obviously, the southern market is a more glut market. So, if we find any opportunity there at a good valuation, only then will we go for it.” He added “The next round of consolidation in the industry should be in the southern market because this market is quite fragmented and players are operating at a very low capacity utilisation.”

Star cement expects to raise its capacity by 70% to 9.7Mt/yr by early 2026 through US$264m-worth of expansion projects, including an expansion to the clinker line of its Lumshnong cement plant in Meghalaya. To date, it has invested US$108m in the projects.
