What takes away a chunk of the winning is the disproportionate
transportation cost.
This is the dilemma which Cement Makers face

Preferred Transportation Model
11 © 2012, All Rights Reserved. l
• Transportation • Transportation costs high - freight accounts for 19-20 % of the production
cost • Road preferred mode for transportation for distances less than 250kms.
However, industry is heavily dependant on roads as the railway infrastructure is not adequate - shortage of wagons.
• Capacity additions • Acquisitions have been the mainstay of the business • Regional imbalance resulting in cross regional movement -
limestone availability in pockets has led to uneven capacity additions • Capacity additions have slowed down

• Explore secondary delivery and invoicing (on behalf of distributor) for region
• How does it work ?– Identify local area along highway for downsizing Cement Consignment ( Bulk
Breaking)– Place Containers ( 40 ft ) along periphery with multi opening– Cement bulk is transported to HUB Container and reloaded to small capacity
vehicle– Possibility of Invoicing system on small vehicle to facilitate quick delivery– This works well where rail freight can get offset ( bulk loading)
