Due to similar raw material inputs and production
processes, there is no significant differentiation in the
cement produced across firms and thus they follows the
standardized process of manufacturing. But it can
follow the Manufacturing Process of its largest
competitor ACC, though ACC enjoys lower fuel cost.
However, this is not sustainable has already started
switching to coal. Similarly it can have the advantage
of coal fuel.
Can adopt the strategies of Ultra tech cement i.e.,
Cost leadership: Striving to become a cost leader by means of setting up
captive power plants, and/or up-gradation of technology to enhance
productivity, is increasingly becoming critical for large cement players in this
sector.
Rising Exports: Due to the increasing construction activity in the Middle-East,
exports will constitute a major sales driver. Hence, the coming years would see
companies scrambling for bases on the Western coast to minimize their export
transportation costs.
Retail Stores: A unique concept, which Ultra Tech is experimenting with in
recent times, and one that is important for the future, is to continue setting up
retail stores. Other companies like Asian paints, and most recently Tata Steel
have tried a similar concept.
Relationship Management: UltraTech should focus on managing its
relationships with importers, exporters, distributors, warehouse providers,
wholesalers, retailers and dealers for their long-term profitability.
