Last month CRISIL Research reported that cement demand grew at a tepid 3 percent pace during the April - October 2011 period. The average pan-India retail cement price increased by about 6 percent month-on-month in October 2011, according to CRISIL, on increased construction activity.
"After the festive season, construction activity and consequently, cement demand will gain traction, which could lead prices to rise by one-two per cent on a month-on-month basis in November," said Ajay D'Souza, head, CRISIL Research.
