India´s cement industry is a vital part of its economy, providing employment to more than a million people, directly or indirectly. The industry is currently in a turnaround phase, trying to achieve global standards in production, safety, and energy-efficiency. India has a lot of potential for development in the Infrastructure and Construction sector and the Cement Sector is expected to largely benefit from it. A significant factor which aids the growth of this sector is the ready availability of the raw materials for making cement, such as limestone and coal.
