Preface
It is said that practice makes a man perfect. So professional study is
incomplete without its practical knowledge. In the field of business, theory
provides the fundamental stone for the guidance of practice but practice
examines the element of truth lying in the theory therefore stand coordination
between theories and practice is very essential to make MBA perfect.

Each & every activity is started for the accomplishment of goals & for this
purpose management is required. As being student of MBA, a management
stream, we have to go in different types of analysis for practical knowledge &
practical training.

A project is a systematic and scientific study of financial problem with
application of financial skill and concepts. Every company has to recognize its
strength and weakness, opportunities and threat in field of finance to stay in
the cut throat competition.
I was assigned a study of a projecton “EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION” OF
ULTRA TECH CEMENT.

Secondary is to share the practical knowledge and real experience in world of
finance .The details mention in this report is based on real situation and
research.

I hope the report will be special interest to the finance students who are on
look for such real life situation beyond their class room study.

Introduction

Human resource is considered to be the most valuable asset in any
organization. It is thesum-total of inherent abilities, acquired knowledge and
skills represented by the talents andaptitudes of the employed persons who
comprise executives, supervisors and the rank and fileemployees. It may be
noted here that human resource should be utilized to the maximum possible
extent, in order to achieve individual and organizational goals. It is thus the
employee‟sperformance, which ultimately decides, and attainment of goals.

Employee satisfaction is the terminology used to describe whether employees
are happy and contented and fulfilling their desires and needs at work. Many
measures purport that employee satisfaction is a factor in employee
motivation, employee goal achievement, and positive employee morale in the
workplace.
Employee satisfaction, while generally a positive in your organization, can
also be a downer if mediocre employees stay because they are satisfied with
your work environment.

The term relates to the total relationship between an individual and the
employer forwhich he is paid. Satisfaction does mean the simple feeling state
accompanying the attainment ofany goal; the end state is feeling
accompanying the attainment by an impulse of its objective.

Industry Profile

The Global Cement Industry
Cement is a basic ingredient for the construction industry. Cement is made
out oflimestone, shell, clay mined out of a quarry close to the plant. The raw
material iscrushed, and then heated at temperature in excess of 1000 ºC in
rotating kiln tobecome clinker. Clinker is then mixed with gypsum and ground
to a fine powderto produce final grade of cement. The technology is a
continuous process and ishighly energy intensive.
Cost of cement is 29% energy, 27% raw materials, 32% labour and
12%depreciation.
The weight/to price ratio make transportation cost very high. The
competitiveradius of a typical cement plant for most common types of cement
extends nomore than 300 kilometers. However, cement can be shipped
economically by seaand inland waterway over great distances, extending
greatly the competitiveradius of cement plants with access to waterborne
shipping lanes. Thus, thelocation of a cement plant and the cost to transport
the cement it producesthrough its distribution terminals bear significantly on
the plant‟s competitiveposition and the prices it may charge. The minimum
efficient size for a cementplant is around 1 million ton a year.
As a consequence of a relatively low minimum efficient plant and
transportationcosts cement production is highly fragmented. It is estimated
that there arearound 1500 integrated cement production plants in the world.
Although theindustry has seen the emergence of strong global players such a
Lafarge orCEMEX, the share of the four largest firms account only for 23% of
the overalldemand.
Cement is distributed in bags or is delivered to construction sites through
readymixLorries.
The major segments of the industries are:

12

• Aggregates: quarries and crushing minerals to be mixed with cement tomake
concrete
• Cement production
• Ready Mix: distribution of ready to use concrete

The cement industry in India

India's potential in infrastructure is huge. The country is expected to become
the world's third largest construction market by 2025, adding 11.5 million
homes a year to become a US$ 1 trillion a year market, according to a study
by Global Construction Perspectives and Oxford Economics.
Notwithstanding its current position as one of the leaders in cement
production, India‟s riches in the sector remain somewhat untapped. “Lafarge's
India business has been very successful and the country is among the top 10
markets globally for Lafarge. But going forward, we should rank higher
because of the potential of the Indian market,” says Mr. Martin Kriegner, CEO
of the Indian branch of the world‟s largest cement manufacturer, Lafarge.
Market Size
India is among the best cement markets in Asia, according to Switzerlandbased cement major Holcim. The company operates in India through group
companies ACC and Ambuja Cements.
The Indian cement sector is expected to witness positive growth in coming
years, with demand set to increase at a CAGR of more than 8 per cent during
2013–14 to 2015–16, according to the latest RNCOS report titled, „Indian
Cement Industry Outlook 2016‟. The report further observed, after analysing
the regional trend of cement consumption, that the Southern region is creating
maximum demand, which is expected to increase in future.

Investments
The cement industry has been expanding on the back of increasing
infrastructure activities and demand from the housing sector over the past
many years. According to data released by the Department of Industrial Policy
and Promotion (DIPP), cement and gypsum products attracted foreign direct
investment (FDI) worth Rs 13,370.32 crore (US$ 2.24 billion) between April
2000 and February 2014.
Some of the major investment and developments in the Indian cement
industry are as follows:
Ambuja Cement, part of the Holcim Group, plans to invest Rs 802 crore
(US$ 134.39 million) in 2014 in various ongoing projects. The company
15

has proposed to fund the entire capex through internal accruals, as per
Ambuja Cement‟s annual report.
Prism Cement Ltd has become the first Indian company to get the
Quality Council of India's (QCI) certification for its ready-mix concrete
(RMC) plant in Kochi, Kerala. The company received the certification
from Institute for Certification and Quality Mark (ICQM), a leading
Italian certification body authorized to oversee QCI compliance.
After commissioning its first waste-heat recovery plant at Gagal
in Himachal Pradesh, ACC plans to replicate the success at its cement
plants in Wadi (Karnataka), Jamul ChhattisgarhKymore (Madhya
Pradesh) and Chanda (Maharashtra) with an investment of about Rs
360 crore (US$ 60.32 million).
UltraTech Cement Ltd, India‟s biggest maker of cement, plans to buy
the local assets of Holcim Ltd and Lafarge SA.
ACC plans to invest Rs 3,000 crore (US$ 501.16 million) in a capacity
upgrade and expansion project at its Jamul plant in Chhattisgarh and
its grinding unit in Jharkhand.
UltraTech Cement, an Aditya Birla Group Company, has acquired the
4.8 million tone per annum (MTPA) Gujarat unit of Jaypee Cement
Corp for Rs 3,800 crore (US$ 634.81 million).

16

Major cement demand drivers

Housing sector accounts for 64 per cent of the total cement demand in India.

Domestic cement consumption

The domestic cement consumption is expected to increase at a CAGR of 10.2
per cent during FY11-17 and reach 398 million tones.

17

Pastel analysis
Political
The price of cement is primarily controlled by the coal rates, power tariffs,
railwaytariffs, freight, royalty and cess on limestone. Interestingly, government
controls all of theseprices. Government is also one of the biggest consumers
of the cement in the country. Most stategovernments, in order to attract
investments in their respective states, offer fiscal incentives inthe form of
sales tax exemptions/deferrals. States like Haryana offer a freeze on power
tariff for5 years, while Gujarat offers exemption from electric duty. (India
Infoline Ltd n.d.)

Economic
Currently, the industry is on the boom, with a lot of government infrastructure
and housingprojects under construction. In spite of seeing a fall during 200809, the export segment of theindustry is expected to grow again on account of
various infrastructure projects that are beingtaken up all over the world and
numerous outstanding cement plants coming up in near future inthe country.

SOCIAL

Usually, the cement industry in India consists of both the organized sector and
the unorganized sector. Organized sector comprises of the well-known
cement manufacturing companies while the main players of the unorganized
sector are the regional and local cement-producing units in various states
across the state. Indian consumers prefer buying branded cement like
ULTRATECH, JAYPEE CEMENT, LAFARGE CEMENT etc. It has been seen
in the past, aswell, that mini cement plants with low brand value and image
are not able to survive against thecement giants. With a population of more
than 100 billion people, it is expected that cementindustry will create another
25

lakhs

jobs

in

the
18

next

4-5

years.

TECHNOLOGY

From mining to production the entire process depends on technology. The
Government of Indiaplans to study and possibly acquire new technologies
from

the

cement

industry

of

Japan.

The

government is discussing technology transfer in the field of energy
conservation andenvironment protection to help improve efficiency of the
Indian cement industry. Cement.industry has made tremendous strides in
technological up-gradation and assimilation of latesttechnology. At present
93% of the total capacity in the industry is based on modern and
environment-friendly dry process technology.

Current Trends
Indian Cement- Limestone scenario
The Indian Cement Industry exemplifies this to a nicety. The Cement
Industry the world over is tightly correlated to the GDP (the factor in India is
estimated to be about 0.88). Though the roots of the cement industry in India
goes back to 80 years, the beginning of Industrialization in India provided the
right opportunity for the cement industry to make its presence felt. Absence of
serious competition, the presence of railway sidings and abundance of
limestone seemed to be the only criteria for setting up cement plants. Though
limestone

occurs

under

all

ages

in

India,

crystalline

limestone

of Archaean age were mostly targeted and plants set up.
And then, the inevitable happened. The now old cement plants based on
Archaean limestone not only found their technology obsolete but also found
their limestone resources fast depleting. The companies were forced to find
alternate resources, which by then had become scarce or find new ways to
increase recovery from their existing deposits. To their dismay, they
discovered that the markets - so lenient earlier were unwilling to bear costs
accruing due to the companies' outdated procedures and processes,
19

demanded higher standards of quality. After decontrol of cement prices new
cement plants sprang up on sedimentary limestone deposits other than
Archaean. Which are of simpler nature since the entire run- of- mine could be
consumed, the cost of extraction for these plants was appreciably lower
whereas the older set-ups had to manage with progressively lower recovery
ratios. Companies are now forced to work deposits once considered unviable
and/or unworkable with selective mining. Earlier threshold values are no
longer applicable for the older plants and only technology seems to offer the
panacea for survival.

20

Emerging trends
High degree of mechanization and capacity to handle large volumes has
lowered the run-of- mine costs. Detailed geological explorations and
technological advances made in geostatistics and interpretations, now
make it possible for a clearer understanding of structures and working of
limestone,

balancing

the

economics,

deploying

large earthmoving

equipment handle large volumes of overburden and exploit residual
threshold deposits.
Major players in cement industry
The Indian cement industry is largely dominated by a few companies. The top
20 cement companies account for almost 70% of the total cement production
of the country. During April-September 2009, the Indian cement companies
produced 11 MT cement, whereas the total cement product in the country in
FY09 was 231 MT. It is further expected to reach 236.16 MT in FY11 and
262.61

23

HISTORY OF ULTRA TECH CEMENT
The Group‟s Cement business was earlier under Grasim Industries and Ultra
Tech Cement. The two entities have now been merged into Ultra Tech
Cement to form India‟s largest Cement company which is founded in 1983.
Ultra Tech Cement was acquired from L&T in 2004.

Ultra Tech Cement Limited is India‟s biggest cement company and India‟s
largest exporters of cement clinker based in Mumbai, India. The company is
division of Grasim Industries. It has an annual capacity of 52 million tones.
Ultra Tech Cement holds the superbrand Status. Which holds the revenues
of US $ 3.7 billion in 2011-12 and profit of US $ 450 million in 2011-12.

It manufacturers and market ordinary Portland cement, Portland blast furnace
slag cement, white cement and Portland Pozzolanacement. The export
markets span countries around the Indian Ocean, Africa, Europe and the
Middle East. Most of the plants have ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS
18001 certification. In addition, two plants have received ISO 27001
certification and four have received SA 8000 certification.
The company exports over 2.5 million tones per annum, which is about 30%
of the country‟s total exports.
Ultra Tech Cement Limited has 12 Integrated plants, 1 white cement plant, 11
grinding units in India and 1 Clinkerization plant in UAE, 15 grinding units ( 11
in India, 2 in UAE, 1 each in Bahrain and Bangladesh) and 6 bulk terminals ( 5
in India and 1 in Sri Lanka).
In 2003 The Board of Larsen &Tourbo (L&T) decides to demerge its cement
business into a separate cement company (Cemco). Grasim decides to
acquire 8.5 per cent equity stake from L&T and then make an open offers for
30% of the equity of Cemco, to acquire management control of the company.

24

The UltraTech Cement Ltd's captive jetty is situated on Saurashtra coast
(village Kovaya) between Jafrabad and the port of Pipavav (in Pipavav Port
area). This captive jetty was built with the intention of taking the company's
cement and clinker produced by its plant, the Gujarat Cement Works (GCW),
at village Kovaya to international buyers (export market) and also to western
India's coastal regions, through sea routes so as to reduce the logistics cost to
a

great

extent.

This jetty is considered crucial since it is the lifeline for the Ultra Tech
cement plant, including that of its another plant, the Narmada Cement at
Jafrabad. The captive berth today handles clinker and bulk cement cargo for
outward movement and based on the availability of jetty's space it then
handles coal, gypsum, iron ore and so on, for inward movement for captive
use only.

WEAKNESSESS:
Cement Industry is highly fragmented and it is also highly regionalized and
Low

value

commodity

makes

transportation

over

long

distances

uneconomical.
Not available in all the places: Ultra tech is not available at all the places as it
is not manufactured at all places and all plants are not available everywhere
due to which people cannot find it everywhere hence the profit margins are
affected to a greater extend.
Human Resource:
Due to openness in the Ultra tech‟s work culture which is very informal that
does not suit for better management in corporate . The environment being
very informal affects the management a lot as being the management they
have to maintain a distance and discipline but due to the openness there is no

39

such thing and they face a lot difficulty to control. And Ultra tech has
insufficient man power due to its easy recruiting and selection method.
Marketing:
Lack of awareness program for consumers due to low promotion mix: the
company faces the problem of proper promotion due to which the customers
doesn‟t know much about the product resulting into less sales of the product
instead of being a good product.
Lack of marketing mix: the company suffers with the problem of proper
marketing mix which in return results into the whole confusion state and the
product does not reach to the customers properly and in fact a lot of them
don‟t know about it also.
Health:
Highly dusty environment at the time of dumping the cement is hazardous
for health.
It affects human‟s respiratory system adversely. Ultra tech is therefore not
contributing to society as its corporate social responsibility remains unfulfilled
due to many hazards.
Others:
Cement industry is highly fragmented and regionalized as Low value
commodity makes. As transportation over long distances is uneconomical for
value sector, so cost of transporting cement is high and this keeps cement
from being profitable over long distances. In other talks, shipping cement
costs more than the profit from selling it.
PESTEL ANALYSIS:
Analysing the above through pestel framework Ultratech was highly affected
by the environmental factors. As cement plants are very harmful for the
environment causing a lot of pollution and is harmful for the health of human
being hence proving that the environmentally it is not good and hence its
plants all are made to be situated outside the city where the population rate is
low or no population. So Ultratech is bearing great difficulty in managing the
environment along with the health issues.

40

OPPORTUNITIES:
With the low per capita consumption of cement in India 102 kg compared to
the global average of 260 kg and the emphasis on infrastructure development,
Ultra tech has ample opportunity to ride the growth curve. Ultratech can
develop new marketing area. It can sign MOU‟s (memorandum of
understanding) with government regarding supply of cement for government
work. Ultratech can also maintain the position of competition in the market.
Institutional market like corporate and offices, school society complexes are
growing in large scale, which will increase the requirement. People are opting
for more stable structures and good future, so large use of cement is taking
place, so government is spending heavily on infrastructure project as Indian
industry base is growing rapidly Thus, this is the right time to fully invest in
these market. There is regular demand of cement which in turn will increase
foreign investment in this sector. As roads transformation process is going on
through which the traditional method of road building will be convert by
modern concrete roads. Substantially lower per capita cement consumption
as compared to developing countries (1/3 rd of world average) Per capita
cement consumption in India is 82 kgs against a global average of 255 kgs
and Asian average of 200 kgs. For green field capacity 20 million tons per
annum will be required to match the demand in pipeline for other two years
leading to favorabledemand – supply scenario. (Verma, 2008)

THREATS:
As huge cement industry emerge there is more competition for ACC
(Associated Cement Companies) to carefully enhanced its price , product and
at the same time satisfy its dealers and customers. Cheap priced brand are
capturing like a mushroom to lower income customer base. Players such as
Jaypee Cement, Prism Cement, and Birla cement. ACC cement are eating up
considerable market share. Due to India‟ satisfy growth many new
international cement companies are expected in coming years which will bring
enormous change and can start price war. Government intervention to adjust
cement prices Transportation cost is upgrading. Due to loading restriction

41

there is overloading industrialist shows increase in costs due to the shortage
in coal industry.
Many retailers are influence by better profit margin, and other Benefits
because of small industries increase competition among them, which in turn
give heavy discount to customer and start malpractices.
Timber is also being considered as one of the substitutes of cement, which is
cheap and long lasting. Due to continuous attack of earthquake, many
countries like Japan, Indonesia, and Singaporeetc are now using timber in
construction since those areas are high earthquake affected. (Kalesh, 2009)
PORTER‟S 5-FORCE MODEL (THREAT) ANALYSIS:
Analysing the above through the five forces framework:
Threat of New Entrants: The high costs are major entry barrier for the entry of
new players. The high shipment costs make it difficult to import cement.
Cement being a high volume low value commodity results in high goods
costs, which makes cement imports economically unlikely. Domestic Cement
industry is highly integrated from global cement markets. Making cement duty
free, as cement is being imported from neighboring countries. However, due
to logistics issues and lack of port, handling capabilities, imports of cement
will remain negligible and do not pose a threat to domestic industry of
Ultratech.
Competitive rivalry between existing players: Previously the rivalry was strong
among the players, as the industry was not consolidated. During the last few
years the industry has become more consolidated with the Top 3 players
Ultratech is having a combined market share of 49 percent in 2005-06 as
compared to 32 Percent in 1999-2000. (Porter, 1988)
Its competitive analysis is as follows:
Domestic players competing Ultratech are:
Associated Cement Companies Ltd (ACCL)
Associated Cement Companies Ltd manufactures ordinary Portland cement,
composite cement and special cement and has begun offering its marketing
expertise and distribution facilities to other producers in cement and related
areas. The company plans capital expenditure through expansion of existing
units and/or through acquisitions.

Grasim's product profile includes viscose staple fiber (VSF), grey cement,
white cement, sponge iron, chemicals and textiles. With the acquisition
of Ultra Tech, L &T's cement division in early 2004, Grasim has now become
the world's seventh largest cement producer with a combined capacity of
31million tones. Grasim (with Ultra Tech) held a market share of around 21
per cent in 2005-06.
Gujarat Ambuja Cements Ltd (GACL)
Gujarat Ambuja was set up in 1986 with the commencement of commercial
production at its 2 million tone plant in Chandrapur, Maharashtra. The group
has

clinker

Gujarat,

Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Punjab and Rajasthan. The company has a
market share of around 10 per cent, with a strong foothold in the northern and
western markets. Its total sales aggregated US$ 526 million with a capacity
43

of 12.6 million tons in 2003-04. Gujarat Ambuja is one of India's largest
cement exporter and one of the most cost efficient firms. It has also
earmarked around US$ 195-220 million for acquisitions Cements Ltd.
CONCLUSION:
As India is the second largest producer of cement in the worlds many big
player presents in the market after that Ultratech cement increases his market
share due to the high growth rate of real estate. Because of continuously
growth of ultra tech cement after little year company may occur top cement
manufacturer in India. After swot analysis of Ultra Tech I found that company
has many strength, but few weakness also present, there are various
opportunities for company in India and other Asian countries because the
infrastructure is continuously developing. Company has won the best
Employer award in 2007, so young generation has various career
