A country's financial growth primarily depends on the availability of natural resources and the process how they are used. Man has learnt how to use all the natural resources to make his life better. Among the resources his discovery of cement helps him to build dams across river for better use of river water for harvesting, shipping, fishing and for domestic purposes. Cement is a kind of substance which sets and hardens independently and it is also a binding agent that can bind other materials jointly. India has a lot of potential for development in the infrastructure and construction sector and the cement sector is expected to largely benefit from it. Some of the recent major government initiatives such as development of 98 smart cities are expected to provide a major boost to the sector. Hence an attempt has been made to study the role of cement industries in India in terms of production, demand and installed capacity Taking this as the focal point the present paper has been undertaken and entitled as “ Performance Analysis  of Cement Industries  in India : An Overview.”
