Industry to potentially witness 95-105 mtpa capacity additions in the next five years; Covid-19 to slowdown
the momentum

The cement industry is estimated to have added ~22 MT of grinding capacity each in fiscals 2019 and 2020.
CRISIL Research estimates overall installed capacity at 520 mtpa (adjusted for period of commissioning, this
would be close to 500 mtpa on an effective basis) as of fiscal 2020.

Capacity additions are expected to remain robust with 95-105 MT to be added in over fiscals 2021-2025.

SPMs are customised machines deployed to automate industrial processes to ensure high productivity. Based on
their usage, they are classified as general purpose machines or SPMs. Usage of SPMs reduces chances of human
error and decreases human fatigue when carrying out repetitive operations. It assures consistent quality and
interchangeability of parts by carrying out the same designed process every time without any shortcuts.

SPMs, designed to operate for 24 hours a day with minimum supervision, are mostly product-specific and need

to be designed and developed as per individual requirements. These SPMs are either cam-operated machines or
use hydraulics and pneumatics as actuating elements or a combination of all. Often, a dedicated programmable
