Here too, Dhoni had words of encouragement during the presentation.

“I am bullish on India Cements’ growth. We at India Cements will reach 100% capacity utilization levels next year on the back of rising demand.” This was in reference to the company’s current utilization which was rated 80%. He also vowed to give more time to the company affairs from now on as quoted by IB Times.

The future outlook shows an increase in demand. Planning to expand, the India Cements have been looking forward to an emancipation of a cement factory with an annual capacity of 2.4 million tonnes in Madhya Pradesh. N Srinivasan who is the managing director confirmed that their budget for the project was Rs 900-1000 crores and they looked forward to fund it internally. He sounded optimistic regarding the demand levels outstripping the supply soon.
