Industry Profile
The first endeavor to manufacture cement dates back to 1889 when a Calcutta based company endeavored to manufacture cement from Argillaceous (kankar). Finally it was in 1914 that the first licensed cement manufacturing unit was set up by India Cement Company Ltd at Porbandar, Gujarat with an available capacity of 10,000 tons and production of 1000 installed. In 1927, the Concrete Association of India was formed with the twin goals of creating a positive awareness among the public of the utility of cement and to propagate cement consumption.

Limitation of study
? The data for the project is collected mainly through secondary sources. It is not sure that the data is accurate and complete. ? The concept of fundamental analysis is totally new for me more ever this subject is very broad. ? Information is windows dressed up. So it is difficult to obtain actual required data for the completion of the project. ? Time period collected for the project was high and tough. Due to time limitation it may be possible that some of the data left out. ? The time available was very less, so fundamental analysis has been done only Five companies. This may lead misinterpretation of industry, as there are many companies in cement industry
