NEWS HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE WEEK CLICK HERE FOR LAST REPORT
* Chhattisgarh Transport association goes on strike: They are on strike since 19th Sep’21 demanding rise in freight rates to offset the impact of diesel prices. This has led to reduced and in some cases stoppage of cement despatches from the plants in Chhattisgarh.
* South may see hit in production: SICMA: Following an unprecedented rise in the cost of imported coal/pet coke and shortage of vessels, cement production in the South might take a hit. It is estimated that the resultant increase in the production cost can be INR60 per bag.
