Construction to get costlier as cement prices may rise by ₹5-20 in Oct: Report

Cement companies are likely to raise prices by ₹5-20 per bag in October, a Centrum Broking report said. The forecast follows a surge in pricing momentum in September, when the all-India average trade price increased by ₹7 per bag month-on-month to ₹356. The sustainability of these hikes will depend on demand recovery and dealers’ willingness to accept higher prices.
