OBJECTIVES
The major objectives of this study were:
(a) To find out what customer expects from company and how company
can deliver them.
(b) To find out level of satisfaction of retailers as well as customers.
(c) To compare Maihar Cement with other cement company and then
formulate some strategy to be a market leader by increasing the market
share of Maihar Cement.
IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY
My project titled “How to strengthen the market share of Maihar Cement in
Jabalpur” could prove to be of great importance to the company. Because in this
project I tried to compare all the facilities provided to the customers by Maihar
Cement with the one provided by the competitors. I also tried to find out that
what are the customers demand from the Maihar Cement and what the
organization needs to improve in its system in order to tighten its hands in the
market. This will finally help Maihar Cement to increase its market share and try
to gain a big lead over its competitors.
LIMITATIONS

Indian Cement Industry
India, being the second largest cement producer in the world after China
with a total capacity of 151.2 Million Tones (MT), has got a huge
cement industry. With the government of India giving boost to various
infrastructure projects, housing facilities and road networks, the cement
industry in India is currently growing at an enviable pace. More growth
in the Indian cement industry is expected in the coming years. It is also
predicted that the cement production in India would rise to 236.16 MT in
FY11. It's also expected to rise to 262.61 MT in FY12.
The cement industry in India is dominated by around 20 companies,
which account for almost 70% of the total cement production in India. In
the present year, the Indian cement companies have produced 11 MT
cement during April-September 2009. It took the total cement
production in FY09 to 231 MT.
Industry Background
The history of the cement industry in India dates back to the 1889 when
a Kolkata-based company started manufacturing cement from
Argillaceous. But the industry started getting the organized shape in the
early 1900s. In 1914, India Cement Company Ltd was established in
Porbandar with a capacity of 10,000 tons and production of 1000
installed. The World War I gave the first initial thrust to the cement
industry in India and the industry started growing at a fast rate in terms
of production, manufacturing units, and installed capacity. This stage
was referred to as the Nascent Stage of Indian Cement Industry. In 1927,
Concrete Association of India was set up to create public awareness on
the utility of cement as well as to propagate cement consumption.
The cement industry in India saw the price and distribution control
system in the year 1956, established to ensure fair price model for
consumers as well as manufacturers. Later in 1977, government
authorized new manufacturing units (as well as existing units going for
capacity enhancement) to put a higher price tag for their products. A
couple of years later, government introduced a three-tier pricing system
with different pricing on cement produced in high, medium and low cost
plants.

Advantage -
Low Heat of hydration resulting in resistance to cracking.
Resistance to corrosive water and chemical attacks and thereby
longer life to steel/iron structure underneath.
High degree of impermeability and workability for the concrete
mix.
Higher ultimate strength at longer duration
Higher degree of fineness, resulting in -
- Complete chemical reaction
- Easy workability
- Increased plasticity
Reduced Alkali aggregate reaction as also free lime expansion
and thereby resistance to cracking.
Lower drying shrinkage and low leaching value.
PPC can be used for any type of construction which earlier had been
the forte of OPC. However due to it's special attributes, it's use is
rather imperative for the following construction works.
Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC)
Ordinary Portland CEMENT (OPC) is a product obtained by intimately
mixing together calcareous ( limestone,chalk,marl,etc.)and argillaceous
(clay, shale etc.)materials, or other materials containing silica ,
alluminia and iron oxide, burning them at high tempreture and grinding
the resulting intermediate product, clinker, with gypsum. After burning,
no material other than gypsum is added.
Process
The basic raw material in the production of cement is Limestone.
The Limestone ore as obtained from the Mines is fed to the Raw Mills
after first crushing it to acceptable size. Certain additives such as
Laterite, Bauxite, High Grade Limestone(Sweetener) etc. are also
introduced alongwith Limestone into the Raw Mills as applicable. In
the Raw Mills, the above inputs are reduced to a particular fineness.
The output of the Raw Mills, called 'Raw Meal' is then burnt in the
Kiln and then cooled to produce Clinker.
The fuel used for burning of limestone is powdered coal produced
from the coal Mill. The Clinker is thereupon fed into Cement Mill &
pulverized alongwith Gypsum to yield the basic cement. A certain
proportion of Clinker in the production of cement is replaced by
Flyash to produce PPC.
Process in Nutshell
Scenic View of Our Uniqueness
1. Limestone excavated from Mines is transported through Dumpers
and fed to crushers wherein it is reduced from above 850 mm to 80
mm size.
2. Environmental friendly Conveyor belts transport the limestone
from the Crusher to the Plant Site over a distance of 7 kms.
3. Scientifically designed Stackers provide for stacking of the
limestones received from the mines in circular / longitudinal stock
piles. Use of Reclaimers ensure consistency in quality.
4. State of the Art Vertical Roller Mill grinds Limestone feed to
powdered form called Raw Meal.
5. Most advanced Coal Mill pulverizes the coal to be injected into
Kiln for burning of Raw Meal.
6. Rotary Kiln provides for Clinkerisation where in Raw Meal fed
from VRM is first burnt to melting (1400 C) & then cooled to 100 -
120 C by means of coolers immediately outside the Kiln to produce
Clinker.
[Link] Circuit Cement Mill ensures high quality grinding of clinker,
gypsum and pozzolana to yield best possible uniformity of the cement
particles.

through computers.
PACKAGING
Traditionally cement used to be packed exclusively in jute bags,
resulting in a lot of seepage and wastage from the bags,apart from
creating a dust [Link], now a days jute packaging replaced
by woven HDPE (high density polyethylene)or multiwall paper [Link]
these types of packaging, seeping is almost eliminated, particulary in
case of multiwall paper bags, and as a result dust nuisance is greatly
reduced.
Consistency and accuracy in the packing of bags by
electronic packing machines- Packing Plant is equipped with
computer controlled electronic packers, which ensure that cement
bags are packed and sealed to 50 kg of cement each accurately.
Manual check is also carried out at random to monitor computer
accuracy and introduce correction as applicable.
Loading of bags in the wagon/trucks is carried out automatically by
means of wagon / truck loading machines, equipped with Electronic
Loading Counters which accurately keep count of the Number of bags
being loaded.
Efficient logistic & transportation network ensures prompt delivery of
materials to the customers.

FINDINGS
In the cement industry prevailing in Jabalpur, Maihar Cement holds
a very strong position.
Its main competitor in Jabalpur is J.P.
Buying decision of a person is motivated by quality.
Brand visibility:
Visibility is satisfactory in Jabalpur.
Less visibility in , gosalpur, Devri,Bhedaghat
In certain areas price discrimination exists i.e. both retailers and
subscribers are charged differerently for the same product.
Suggetion
Company should OPEN HELP CENTRE to remove customer’s query and
customer’s problem regarding construction.
Company should appoint more stockiest so that it can reach maximum
market.
Company should improve it’s product quality according Acc, Prism.
According to my opinion company should appoint it’s brand ambessedor
like Acc, J.P.
Company should do advertisement more aggressively with the help of
radio, t.v., news paper, wall paintings , hoardings.
Company should organize more prize distribution events, customer’s
meet.
