Demand momentum remains robust, as seen through services PMI, external trade, air traffic and bank credit growth. However, cost pressures continue.

Inflation is showing some signs of relief. The mild moderation in Jun-22 CPI was led by sequential moderation in food and core inflation.

May IIP rose sharply 19.6% due to a low base and increased sequentially by 2.3%.

Key drivers

State/Region wise performance

✓ Infrastructure registered growth on account of execution of major projects ✓ Commercial demand registered growth in the region except Punjab ✓ Slowdown in rural segment due to inflation in construction materials, labour

unavailability, low wheat crop yield in Punjab.

✓ Good availability of labour supported overall growth in the region

✓ Housing registered growth in the region except Jharkhand and Odisha ✓ Infrastructure registered growth in West Bengal, Bihar and Jharkhand, but degrowth in

Chhattisgarh and Odisha

✓ Maharashtra: Robust growth across segments as work progressed in road infrastructure,

metro projects and supported by pent-up demand in real estate and housing

✓ Gujarat: Housing registered growth in both urban and rural segments due to improved cash flows in rural markets. Infrastructure registered growth on account of major projects i.e., Bullet Train, Vadodara-Mumbai Expressway etc.

✓ Housing witnessed growth in the region on account of affordable housing, good harvest during the last year and Infrastructure growth on account of execution of all major Government projects

Housing for All

Urban Housing

Roads

• Government impetus since 2017 to bring >1 trillion USD investment in the sector by 2025 • ~18 mn houses are constructed under PMAY-G vs target of 29.5 mn by FY22

• Unsold inventory at 17 months lowest since 2011 • 38% of population (534 mn) to occupy Indian cities by FY25 (current 33%) • Housing Shortage of 62.45 Mn units of which 30% is in Urban India

• Bharatmala project target of 60,000 km from FY20 to FY24, of which ~53% constructed till FY22 • Momentum to continue given strong investment pipeline under NIP

Industrial • Industrial and Commercial segment should grow in mid term; favorable base, production linked incentive schemes, corporate capex pick up

Metro & Airports

Irrigation

• Total operational metro length increased threefold over last few years, Government targets to double the length by FY25 • Airports planned to increase from 140 to 220 by 2025

Demand growth drivers and rationale

North

Central

East

South

✓ National Capital Region (NCR) would require bulk cement with expected increase in Real Estate. Kotputli is suitably

located to serve the region within average lead of <125 kms

✓ Delhi Metro; Jaipur Metro, Smart cities in Rajasthan and Delhi, Eastern peripheral expressway/ six-laning of NH8,

dam project

✓ Lucknow + Kanpur are amongst the top 20 growing cities in India and expected to grow at a CAGR of ~10% on back

of infrastructure and real estate development. Proposed expansion will also reduce overall lead distance

✓ Several metro projects, Upper Ganga Expressway, irrigation (Ken-Betwa), smart cities (Indore, Bhopal, Lucknow..)

✓ Entry for UltraTech in Jharkhand for manufacturing. Jharkhand expected to grow at ~9% over next 5 years ✓ Reduction in current lead distance ✓ Metro projects in Patna, Kolkata, EDFC, north-east (several road and rail connectivity projects) ✓ Capacity to service North-East markets of Assam and Meghalaya

✓ UltraTech presence is negligible currently in South Tamil Nadu. ✓ Commercial & industrial and real estate growth will lead to higher requirement of bulk volume mainly in Chennai &

Salem/ Coimbatore region, which can be serviced from Arakkonam economically

✓ Vizag IT City Project in Andhra Pradesh, irrigation projects in Telangana.

29

Reducing CO2 emissions will be at the heart of expansion

No additional thermal power capacity

~45% green power

All new clinker capacity will be enabled for alternative fuel consumption

High clinker conversion ratio, thrust on blended cement

Additional renewable power investment

Green power mix will increase to 36% by FY25 from 18% in FY22

Thermal power mix will reduce to 50% by FY25 from 65% in FY22
