Cement Prices Expected to Remain Stable in July Amid Monsoon and Weak Demand
Cement prices in India are expected to remain largely flat in July due to the monsoon season and weak demand, according to a Centrum report. Despite a slight recovery in June from delayed rains and quarter-end sales, subdued construction activity, labor shortages, elections, heatwaves, and slower government project execution continue to weigh on the sector. While some markets may attempt price hikes, these are seen mainly as efforts to maintain current levels amid ongoing seasonal and demand pressures.
