In this issue, we turn our attentions to the increased interest by Indian cement manufacturers in the region of Africa with the feature “The Lure of Africa.” Cement exportation has featured on the minds of a few cement manufacturers recently as well as of the Indian Work Group on the Cement Industry. It is also a topic we examine more closely in the feature story “Exports, Growing or Fading Fast.” In addition to our regularly featured departments, we include a Q&A with Alok Agarwal, Senior ED of Marketing and Strategy of Binani Cement.
