INDUSTRY PROFILE

Introduction
Cement is a key infrastructure industry. It has been decontrolled from price and distribution on first march, 1989 and delicensed on twenty fifth July, 1991. However the performance of the industry and price of cement are monitored regularly. The constraints faced by the industry are reviewed in the infrastructure coordination committee meating held in the cabinet secretariat under the chairmanship of secretary (coordination). Its performance is also reviewed by the cabinet committee on infrastructure.

Capacity and production


The cement industry comprises of one hundred twenty five large cement plants with an installed capacity of 151.28 million tones and more than 300 mini cement plants with an estimated capacity of 11.10 million tones per annum. The Cement Corporation of India, which is a Central Public Sector Undertaking, has 10 units. There are 10 large cement plants owned by various State Governments. The total installed capacity in the country as a whole is 159.38 million tones. Actual cement production in 2002-03 was 116.35 million tones as against a production of 106.90 million tons in 2001-02, registering a growth rate of 8.84%. Keeping in view the trend of the growth of the industry in previous years, a production target of one hundred twenty six million tons has been fixed for the year 2003-2004.

Export
Apart from meeting the entire domestic demand, the industry is also exporting cement and clinker. The export of the cement during 2001-2002 and 2003-2004 was 5.14 million tones and 6.9 tons respectively. Exporting during April-may, 2003 was 1.35 million tones. Major exporting were Gujarat Ambuja Cement Ltd and L&T Ltd.

Recommendations On Cement Industry


For the development of the cement industry working group on cement industry was constituted by the planning commission for the formulation of X five year plan. The working group has projected a growth rate of ten percent for the cement industry during the five year plan and has projected creation of additional capacity of 42 to 62 million tones mainly through expansion of existing plants. The working group has indentified following trust areas for improving demand for cement. Further push to housing development programs. Promotion of concrete highways and roads. Use of ready mix concrete in large infrastructure project. Further, in order to improve global competitiveness of the Indian cement industry, the department of industrial policy and promotion commissioned on the study on global competiveness of the Indian industry through an organization has made several recommendations for making the Indian cement industry more competitive in the international market. The recommendations are under consideration.

Technological change
Cement industry has tremendous strides in technological up gradation and assimilation of latest technology. At present ninety three per cent of the total capacity in the industry is based on modern and environment friendly dry process technology and only seven per cent of the capacity is based on old wet and semi- dry process technology. There is tremendous scope for waste heat recovery in cement plants and thereby reduction in emission level. One project for co-generation of power utilizing waste heat in an Indian cement plants is being implemented with Japanese assistance under green aid plan. The inaction of advanced technology has helped the industry immensely to conserve energy and fuel and to save materials substantially. India is also producing different varieties of cement like ordinary Portland cement , Portland pozzolana cement (PPC), Portland blast furnace slag cement (PBFS), oil well cement ,repid hardening Portland cement, sulphate resisting Portland cement, white cement etc. production of these verities of cement conform to the BIS specifications. It is worth mentioning that some cement plants have set up dedicated jetties for promoting bulk transportation and export.

HISTORY
India, being the second largest cement producer in the world after China with a total capacity of 151.2 Million Tons (MT), has got huge Cement Company. With the government of India giving boost to various infrastructure projects, housing facilities and road networks, the cement industry in India is currently growing at enviable Cement is a key infrastructure industry. The cement industry in India is dominated by around 20 companies, which account for almost 70% of the total cement production in India. In the present year, the Indian cement companies have produced 11 MT cement during April-September 2009. It took the total cement production in FY09 to 231 MT.

Industrial Background
The history of the cement industry in India dates back to the 1889 when a Kolkata-based company started manufacturing cement from Argillaceous. But the industry started getting the organized shape in the early 1900s. In 1914, India Cement Company Ltd was established in Porbandar with a capacity of 10,000 tons and production of 1000 installed. The World War I gave the first initial thrust to the cement industry in India and the industry started growing at a fast rate in terms of production, manufacturing units, and installed capacity. This stage was referred to as the Nascent Stage of Indian Cement Company. In 1927, Concrete Association of India was set up to create public awareness on the utility of cement as well as to propagate cement consumption The cement industry in India saw the price and distribution control system in the year 1956, establish to insure fair price model for consumer as well as manufacturer. Letter in 1977, government authorize new manufacturing units (as well as existing unit going for capacity enhancement) to put a higher price tag for their products. A couple of year later, government introduces a three-tire pricing system with different pricing on cement production in high, medium and low cost plants Cement industry, in any country, plays a major role in the growth of nation. Cement industry in India was under full control and supervision of the government. However, it got relief in the large extent after the economic reforms. The government interference, especially in the pricing, is still evident in India. In spite of being the second largest cement producer in the world. India falls in the list of lowest per capita consumption of cement with 125kg. the reason behind this is the poor rural people who mostly live in mud huts and cannot afford to have the commodity. Despite the fact, the demand and supply in India has grown up. In the fast developing country economy like India there is always large possible of expansion of cement industry.

CCI has established a wide network of ten units with total capacity of 38.48 lakh tones of cement per annum. The units are spread throughout the country from east (Bokajan in Assam) to west (Akaltara, Mandhar in Chhattisgarh and Nayaagon in Madhya Pradesh) and from North (Rajban in Himachal Pradesh and Charkha Dadri in Haryana) to South (Kurkunta in Karnataka and Adlibbed, Tandur in Andhra Pradesh), with one cement grinding unit in Delhi. state and national highways, the cement industry has witnessed tremendous growth. Production capacity has gone up and top cement companies of the world are vying to enter the Indian market, thereby sparking off a spate of mergers and acquisitions. Indian cement industry is currently ranked second in the w9rld. The origins of Indian cement industry can be traced back to 1914 when the first unit was set-up at Porbandar with a capacity of one thousand tones. Today cement industry comprises of one hundred twenty five large cement plants and more than three hundred mini cement plants. The Cement Corporation of India, which is a Central Public Sector Undertaking, has ten units. There are ten large cement plants owned by various Central Governments. Cement industry in India has also made tremendous strides in technological up gradation and assimilation of latest technology. Presently, 93 per cent of the total capacity in the industry is based on modern and environment-friendly dry process technology. The induction of advanced technology has helped the industry immensely to conserve energy and fuel and to save materials substantially. Indian cement industry has also acquired technical capability to produce different types of cement like Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), Portland Blast Furnace Slag Cement (PBFS), Oil Well Cement, Rapid Hardening Portland Cement, Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement, White Cement etc.

CCI in India is currently going through a consolidation phase. CCI was incorporated as a Company wholly owned by Government of India on eighteen January 1965 with the principal objective of achieving self sufficiency in cement production. The authorized and paid-up capital of the company as on 31.3.2006 was Rs. 700 cores and Rs. 429.28 crores respectively.

Issues Concerning Cement Industry


High Transportation Cost is affecting the competitiveness of the cement industry. Freight accounts for 17 percent of the production cost. Road is the preferred mode for transportation for distances less than two hundred fifty km. However, industry is heavily dependent on roads for longer distances too as the railway infrastructure is not adequate. Cement industry is highly capital intensive industry and nearly 55-60 percent of the inputs are controlled by the government. There is regional imbalance in the distribution of cement industry. Limestone availability in pockets has led to uneven capacity additions. Coal availability and quality is also affecting the production.

2.3 Nature of Business The Indian cement industry with a total capacity of about two hundred m tones (MT) in FY09 is the second largest market after China. Although consolidation has taken place in the Indian cement industry with the top five players controlling almost 60 percent of the capacity, the balance capacity
ADVANCED MANAGEMENT COLLEGE Page 8

still remains pretty fragmented. Despite the fact that the Indian cement industry has clocked production of more than one hundred MT for the last five years, registering a growth of nearly 9 percent to 10 percent, the per capita consumption of around 134 kgs compares poorly with the world average of over 263 kgs, and more than 950 kgs in China. This, more than anything, underlines the tremendous scope for growth in the Indian cement industry in the long term. Cement, being a bulk commodity; is a freight intensive industry and transporting cement over long distances can prove to be uneconomical. This has resulted in cement being largely a regional play with the industry Divided into five main regions viz. north, south, west, east and the central region. While the southern region always had excess capacity in the past owing to abundant availability of limestone, the western and northern regions are the most lucrative markets on account of higher inc.ome levels. However, with capacity addition taking place at a slower rate as compared to growth in demand, recently the demand supply parity had also been restored to some extent in the Southern region. Considering the pace at which infrastructural activity is taking place in different regions, the players have lined up expansion plans accordingly. Given the high potential for growth, quite a few foreign transnational's have been eyeing the Indian markets and are planning to acquire domestic companies. Already, while companies like Lafarge, Heidelberg and Italicementi have made a couple of acquisitions, Holcim has acquired stake in domestic companies Ambuja Cements and ACC and has increased its stake gradually to gain full control. After acquiring stake in big companies,
ADVANCED MANAGEMENT COLLEGE Page 9

transnational eyed median capacity producers. Italcementi acquired 100 percent stake in Zuari Cement and 95 percent stake in Shree Vishnu. Cimpor, the Portugese cement manufacturer, acquired Grasim's stake (53.63%) in Shree Dig Vijay. However, it must be noted that the transnational's will find the going tough since cement is a game of volumes and with the median capacity of fragmented players, the transnationals will have to acquire capacities piecemeal and this route is fraught with a lot of uncertainties. The global players put together account of quarter share of the domestic market. Further, turning around few of the companies at a time when the cycle is at its peak would be a difficult task.

Key Points
Supply
The demand-supply situation is tightly balanced with the latter being marginally higher than the former.

Demand
Housing sector acts as the principal growth driver for cement. However, in recent times, industrial and infrastructure sector have also emerged as demand drivers for cement.

Barriers to entry
High capital costs and long gestation periods. Access to limestone reserves (principal raw material for the manufacture of cement) also acts as a significant entry barrier.

Bargaining power of suppliers


Licensing of coal and limestone reserves, supply of power from the state grid and availability of railways for transport are all controlled by a single entity, which is the government. However, nowadays producers are relying more on captive power, but the shortage of coal and volatile fuel prices remain a concern.

Bargaining power of customers


Cement is a commodity business and sales volumes mostly depend upon the distribution reach of the company. However, things are changing and few
ADVANCED MANAGEMENT COLLEGE Page 13

brands have started commanding a premium on account of better quality perception.

Competition
Due to large number of players in the industry and very little brand differentiation to speak of, the competition is intense with players resorting to expanding reach and achieving pan India presence

2.9 Manufacturing Strategy Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that exists in abundance in numerous countries around the world. The material can be found in the soil or in exposed outcroppings of rock, and it exists in a variety of types, chemical compositions, and colors. Asbestos is a strong, virtually fireproof, and highly corrosion resistant material that has fascinated and served mankind for thousands of years, but in the late nineteenth century, its commercial use began to increase. In the late 1880s, several asbestos-containing composite products and materials began to enjoy popularity in the United States and around the world, and one of the most welcomed and widely utilized of these items was asbestos cement. Asbestos-cement is a mixture of primarily chrysotile or white asbestos and Portland cement. Because asbestos has a very high tensile strength and superior resistance to degradation from corrosive chemicals, it was considered to be an excellent additive to the particular chemical matrix of Portland cement. Depending on the specific use or application of the finished product, the ratio of asbestos to cement can vary from between 10 to seventy-five percent by weight. Once the cementitious product is fully cured, the asbestos fibers are bound in a hard. mass that is stable and durable. One of the earliest asbestos-cement products that had appeared in the United States went on the market in 1905, and it was in the form of a coating that had been developed by H. W. Johns Manufacturing Company (later to be known as Johns-Manville). The asbestos-cement coating had originally been promoted as a highly effective roof repair material that could add years of life to roofs that were once thought to be beyond repair. Often sold as a convenient, premixed paste, asbestos-cement soon became the low cost

material of choice for roof and flashing repairs or waterproofing around chimneys, skylights, roof vents, drainage scuppers, etc. 2.10 Achievement The excellence award instituted by the Institute of Economic studies (I.E.S.), New Delhi was conferred on corporation in March, 2005 for achieving Excellence in Productivity, Quality, Innovation and Management.

2.11 Organization Chart


Communication within the organization is free and informal most of the time. Each one in the organization is clear about his role i.e. duties and responsibilities. There is a cordial relationship between superiors and their subordinates. Formal communication is hardly found. Superiors are used to give instructions to their subordinates in clear terms and in informal manner. That makes the subordinates feel comfortable and understand their duties to be performed. It is common scene that superior himself coming to the subordinate and giving him directions.

Management Decision - Making


Like any other organizations, the policy decision is taken at the top i.e. by the Board of Directions, subject to the provisions of bye-law, and directions conveyed in resolutions of General Meetings of the society. The Board has full authority to carry on the business of the society. The Board may meet as often as it considers necessary for the transactions of the business but not less than once a month. The members of the board are personally liable for all transactions conducted in contravention of the Byelaw. Provision 38 of the bye law lists down the business of the Board. To quote some of them: To dispose of applications for membership and for share and their transfers. To raise loans and prescribe conditions on which deposits may be raised. To check the accounts of the society. To institute, defined or compromise legal proceedings. To sanction working expenses.

2.9 Social Responsibility


Social responsibility has been assuming increasing importance and there is growing awareness among the Corporate Sector these days that every company should contribute positively towards the 'social goals. One of the protagonists of Social Audit believe three reasons for acceptance of Social Responsibility, They are: Management has become separate from ownership and is less concerned with the preservation of capital and more interested in performance which can have social component. Companies should concern themselves with non-profit social activities. Income as a measure of performance has been deemphasized in favor of future potential and social image. Apart from the primary role of increasing the cement production and making cement available in needy, remote and back ward areas of the country, the Corporation has been, suomoto, bestowing considerable attention towards contributing to the Society and the Community at large by adopting villages adjoining its operating units to make them better place to live in. CCI has been providing reasonable medical and educational facilities to the locals through its own health centers and educational institutions. CCI also has been engaging themselves in improvement of other infrastructure like road, water supply facilities
ADVANCED MANAGEMENT COLLEGE Page 31

and development of non conventional energy sources to the adopted nearby villages. In the commitment of environmental improvements, CCI has been developing parks, play grounds and is also planting/rearing trees As part of anti-pollution measures, CCI is committed to make the environment around its factories dust free by installation of ESP systems in the old plants not having this facility.

All new plants have these systems already. The Conventional measurement of profitability and growth as reflected in the profit & loss statement and the balance sheet is not adequate enough to reveal extent of contribution business houses had made to the community in discharge of its responsibility to various facets of society. It may perhaps take some more years before we develop suitable techniques for measuring social and community contribution with relative degree of confidence and accuracy. Nevertheless, we have taken inspiration from standards and concepts evolved by David F. Linowes and the Abt, Associates Annual Report 1972 which provide guidelines to draw social statement of various social events enervating as by-products of a business activity. CCI has been making efforts to bring out "Social Account" by drawing upon the guidelines of "Abt: Associate Annual Report 1972' with such modifications as considered suitable. This is the Twenty 3rd year in succession in which such an account is being projected and included in the Annual Report of the Company. The Social income statement comprises three sub statements each showing Company's social impact separately on staff, community and the general public comparing the benefits vis-a-vis the detriments (Costs) to the Society. In this connection, it may be taken note of that Social Accounts are "Society's statements" and not of the Company, as they portray the total social benefits drawn by the Society from the
ADVANCED MANAGEMENT COLLEGE Page 32

Company's multifarious operations as well as the detriments developed on the society due to the Companies activities.

The Environment
From the outset, CCI has believed that a cement plant cannot flourish at the cost of the environment. That's why it adheres to the most rigorous international environmental norms. The pollution levels at all its cement plants are even lower than the rigorous Swiss standards of 100 mg/NM3. At the Himachal Pradesh plants, surface miners have been employed to scrape the surface of the mines. Thus ensuring that all the mining is totally blast free. There is no noise or air pollution.

Functional Departments: Human Resource Department


Human Resources are of vital importance and significance to an enterprise and constitute a primary of the total resource held. A peculiar aspect of human resources is that while these have infinite potential yet whatever is realised out of this resource is generally akin to the tip of the iceberg the remaining whole lot lying submerged untapped. Deliberate efforts have therefore, to be made to augment the gap between Actual and potential human resource may also be branded as Mother Resources through the medium of which other scare resource viz. Machines, material, money are organized, co-ordinate, directed and controlled. Maximum realization of the Potentialities of this Mother resources is of crucial importance for the success of an enterprise. The in-house management and leadership styles the participative, collaborative and supportive climate, the motivation environment, care concern and fellow feelings for each other, the freedom and flexibility to operate within given frame-work of organization goals and objectives productivity oriented performance yard sticks and continued managements positive awareness for training & development effort to keep the threat of human obsolescence at are some of the essential inputs for tapping this resource by mere efflux of time unless they are effectively and meaningfully put to use continually . CC is fully conscious of these phenomena and utmost attention and priority to maintain the human asset of fine fettle. The procurement, development, compensation, integration and maintenance of human resources are thoughtfully planned, skillfully organized, carefully controlled and deftly directed so as to secure the meaningful and the individuals needs, organizational goals and social objective are successfully accomplished. A good insight into existing human potential can be well perceived through the profile of the human power distributed profession wise and age wise 15.35 percentage of the total employees strength of CCI represent technically and professional qualified degree/diploma holders. As such 49.18 percentage of total strength of the organization is in the age group of 26-50 year. However, average
ADVANCED MANAGEMENT COLLEGE Page 35

age of our employees comes to50 years. The broad distribution of CCI human is as under:

Administrative Department Mr. A.K. Srivastava is the Chairman and Managing Director and including them, CCI is having six Board of Directors. All the major policies and decisions are framed by administration department. CCI policies (top to bottom), intake of new employees, market policies is taken by Administration Department. The department is having the strength of highly intelligent six members forming a cutting edge team. Presently CCI is trying to increase its business in market and as well as capturing more shares of domestic market. Production is the functional

3.2 Production Department Area responsible for turning inputs into finished outputs through a series of production processes. The Production Manager is responsible for making sure that raw materials are provided and made into finished goods effectively. He or she must make sure that work is carried out smoothly, and must supervise procedures for making work more efficient and more enjoyable. Five Production Sub-Functions In a manufacturing company the production functions may be split into five sub functions:

The production and planning department will set standards and targets for
ADVANCED MANAGEMENT COLLEGE Page 36

each section of the production process. The quantity and quality of products coming off a production line will be closely monitored. In businesses focusing on lean production, quality will be monitored by all employees at every stage of production, rather than at the end as is the case for businesses using a quality control approach. The purchasing department will be responsible for providing the materials, components and equipment required. to keep the production process running smoothly. A vital aspect of this role is ensuring stocks arrive on time and to the right quality. The stores department will be responsible for stocking all the necessary tools, spares, raw materials and equipment req~ired to service the manufacturing process. Where sourcing is unreliable, buffer stocks will need to be kept and the use of computerized stock control systems helps keep stocks at a minimal but necessary level for production to continue unhindered. The design and technical support department will be responsible for researching new products or modifications to existing ones, estimating costs for producing in different quantities and by using different methods. It will also be responsible for the design and testing of new product processes and product types, together with the development of prototypes through to the final product. The technical support department may also be responsible for work study and suggestions as to how working practices can be improved. The production department will be concerned with the manufacture of products. This will include the maintenance of the production line and other necessary
ADVANCED MANAGEMENT COLLEGE Page 37

repairs. The works department may also have responsibility for quality control and inspection. A key aspect of modern production is ensuring quality. The term quality means fitness for purpose i.e. a product; process or service should do exactly what is expected of it.

Process of manufacture:
Production utility and services departments of the product: The factory manufactures ordinary Portland cement and dozzolana cement by adopting Dry Process High grade limestone is mined at the companys mines located at about 12 kms from the factory. The mining operations are mechanized. The limestone mind is in the form of boulders of 300 mm to 450 mm size. These are transported by road. By contractor to crusher located at about 2 kms away from the mines face. The boulders are crushed to less than 25 mm size and transported to the factory by means of a by cable ropeway of which each bucket is of 1.5 tones capability. The crushed limestone on receipt at the factory is stacked in piles at the qantry. From the qantry it is fed to a hopper by travel crane. Correcting materials such as iron ore/dust. Shale, and sandstone are added to the limestone and fed to the raw mill. In the raw mill the limestone along with the additives is ground to the fines which is known as raw meal. The air separator in the raw mill separates the fines and coarse materials are again fed to the raw mill. The silos have two compartment blending silo and storage silo. Compressed air is circulated continuously for 4 to 5 hours in the blinding silo to homogenize the raw mill. The homogenized raw meal is stored in storage silo.
ADVANCED MANAGEMENT COLLEGE Page 38

From the storage silo, the homogenized raw meal is pumped to the preheated by FK pump through screw conveyor elevator and weigh feeder. The preheated is four stage suspension type. Hot air is circulated by ID Fan through cyclones in four stage to achieve the desire temperature. The raw meal from the preheated is fed to rotary kiln from one end, pulverized coal is fed from other end. Clinker is formed in the coal. Clinker is formed in the form of granules at about 14000. Decarbonation also takes place at this stage. The clinker is cooled to 400oc in the planetary coolers and stored in the gantry mill through conveyor belts. Other materials likes qypsum, brick bats, fly ash, rice husk ash etc, are also stored in hoppers, the clinker, alongwith these other additives, required is fed to the cement mill through feed tables from the hoppers. The additives will depend on the quality of cement to be produced pozzolana or ordinary materials are ground to fines by rotation. The ground cement is stored in silos. Compressed air is circulated continuously inside the silo to keep the cement intact. The cement is extracted from the silos through screw conveyor and elevated to the fluxo machine hopper. The cement is packed in bags by rotary fluxo packer, each bag containing 50 kg of cement.

Total quality management Every employee is expected to take responsibility for managing quality issues in order to make sure that waste is minimized and quality maximized. This is often referred to as total quality management and is part of the lean production methods used in modern industry. For businesses to be competitive, Production and Marketing need to work in an integrated way. Marketing is concerned with knowing and understanding the requirements of customers, so that Production can provide the market led products

FINDING, SUGGESTION AND CONCLUSION


Findings CCI carries a good image in the consumer's mind. Most of the retailer's are satisfied from the distribution service of CCI. There is good demand for CCI products throughout all the consumer classes. Distributors are choosy about their distribution pattern and therefore prefer to work on cash and efficient retailers ignoring a mass of other small outlets. Concentration on top outlets. Ignorance of small provisional stores who have the potential to sell CCI products. It is also noticed that the sales persons are reluctant to take small quantity orders. Dealers are concerned with the credit to great extent. Salespersons usually work as per their convenience. Dealers have some level of dissatisfaction with some front-end sales persons of CCI products. Advertisement plays an important role as it helps in stimulating demand for the product. There is huge demand in the corporate world.
ADVANCED MANAGEMENT COLLEGE Page 57

The level of awareness among the customers regarding the product, quality, range of products etc of CCI products is good. The perceived quality of CCI products among the customers is high when compared to other products. As CCI products being the strongest brand in the industry, many customers prefer only CCI products even if the competitors offer products of equal or better quality. Most of the Top outlets have equivalent sales of competitor products too Good relationship ties between manager and sales people. Consumers are not totally aware of the product range of CCI products. Most of the CCI customers are satisfied with the quality and price of the products.

Suggestion Implement New approach plans Work on Efficient Beat plans only by including weekly and fortnightly plans. Attractive incentives to sales persons. Sufficient stock needs to be maintained at the C & F agents to avoid short fall. Advice salespersons to manage time so as to work efficiently. Cover each and every outlet possible.
ADVANCED MANAGEMENT COLLEGE Page 58

If the Credit Terms can be little more liberalized more dealers will be willing to keep more CCI products. Create awareness among consumers as to the benefits of the products. Work efficiently on claims and damages. Team of sales force should be maintained on a regular basis to negotiate with lost dealers, so that the company can expand its distribution network. Feedback should be taken from the dealers on a regular basis to avoid dissatisfaction and frustration in dealers towards the company. Tap new markets like institutions, corporate and medical stores like Cadbury & Nestle. Increase shelf life by having an efficient supply chain management. If any production stock goes below the minimum stock level fresh stock should be supplied without any delay. Top outlets should be in constant touch so as to keep the stock level always above minimum level. Avoid stock shortage. Regional promotions need to be carried out so as to concentrate on a particular region rather than a country as a whole.

Conclusion
CCI - Provide for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities, in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority. The bidders for 10 plants of Cement Corporation of India (CCI) have started the exercise of due diligence, which they are likely to complete in the next month. The government expects to sell CCI by the end of this year. The government decision on CCI, which has been incurring heavy losses over the years, is very clear: any units that are not sold will be closed down. It is in the process of selling its entire equity in favor of strategic buyers. So far, the response to CCI privatization has been good. Though no party has expressed interest to take over the entire company, there are as many as 40 bidders in the race to take over various plants of CCI. The bidders include major players like Gujarat Ambuja and Grasim. It may be recalled that CCI is being privatized under the auspices of the administrative ministry, that of heavy industries, and not under the ministry of disinvestment. The IFCI-SBI Caps combine are advising the government on CCI sale.

ADVANCED MANAGEMENT COLLEGE

Page 60

Meanwhile the ministry of heavy industries and CCI has expedited the process of voluntary retirement scheme (VRS). In the last month alone, more than 250 employees availed the VRS, whereas in the entire financial year of 2000-01 only 57 people had availed the VRS. Official sources said that the government wants to make the CCI plants attractive in the eyes of prospective buyers. Production has declined in the last few years, mainly on account of the closure of plants. This was the reason that CCI entered into marketing alliances with Grasim and Zuari in 2001. Headquartered in New Delhi, CCI has units at Adilabad and Tandur (in Andhra Pradesh), Bokajan (Assam), Akaltara and Mandhar (Chhattisgarh), Charkhi (Haryana) CCI is committed in supplying quality cement to its customers. To achieve this, fully equipped in house laboratories in manufacturing units keep strict control right through the manufacturing process from mining of limestone to dispatch of cement. In new plants, automatic quality control is done through online X- ray analyzers and computer controlled systems. Research and development center has also been setup to give backup support for operational efficiency and for technological innovations.

LEARNING EXPERIENCE: The main objective of the internship training is to gain knowledge about functions of an organization, its background, nature of business, its working and analysis of various product profile of the organization. Staying in the CEMENT CORPORATION OF INDIA. for almost a month was a platform for me to know its business conditions in the initial stage and gradual growth. I had a limited knowledge about 7s frame work, which was learnt in the class room. But this internship gave me a opportunity to relate those theoretical concepts to the organizational functioning. The study helped me to view the process of producing various products produced in the milk factory. To know the performance of CCI. Produces good quality of Cement. Workers are highly satisfied with wage and salary administration and welfare facilities. To conclude internship training at CEMENT CORPORATION OF INDIA. Helped me to relate the theoretical Knowledge to the practical environment and enlightened me with the knowledge
