Stock Exchange (BSE Limited). The trading in the equity shares of the Company was suspended
w.e.f. 22nd June 2015 due to penal action.

of Rs 17.14 crore, dues of Rs 4.66 crore to Mines Department and Rs 12.60 crore to TSSPDCL
towards electricity dues. In the light of above, the cement plant was closed and non-operational
from March 4, 2014 due to disconnection of power supply by Electricity Dept. for non-payment
of bills. The company was declared as a NPA on 29th May 2014.
Thereafter, the management and control of the Company was disturbed and later in the year. The
Company entered Corporate Insolvency Liquidation Process. The Company has now complied
with the clauses of the Listing Agreement and has made an application to BSE for revocation of
suspension of trading.
The Company was not able to honour the payments of the Operational and Financial Creditors
and thereafter the same was referred to NCLT and the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process

SECTION-II – RISK FACTORS
EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS
Economic scenario – Phases of growth in the economy are positively linked to cement
company growth.
Cost structure and competitiveness – There isn’t much that cement companies can do
regarding cost structure because the margins are less to begin with. Cost advantages are
usually due to companies having access to a cheaper power source, a quality limestone
reserve, or being close to bigger markets.
Legal, regulatory, and environmental scenario – The cement industry is affected by
regulatory norms. This is prominent in developed countries where environmental issues are
more stringent. This adds to the companies’ costs.
Technological advancement – A disruptive innovation can give the innovating company an
advantage. For example, when companies moved from the wet manufacturing process to
the dry manufacturing process, there was a cost savings of 5%–10% of the overall cost
structure.
Changes in demand leading to changes in pricing and/or industry structure with top-3
positions in 80% of its markets, and that it trades in clinker, cement and other products to
take advantage of shifting demand between countries.
Ever changing political situations in the demographics
The cement industry is associated with significant negative externalities, notably high CO2
emissions. By 2030 it will reduce net CO2/tonne of cement by 40% compared to 1990
levels, and advocates a carbon price, while increasingly aiming the business towards
sustainable products and solutions
High Risk of Hazards in the Cement manufacturing process
INTERNAL RISK FACTORS
The Promoters of the Company have around 15 years of experience in power plant, heavy
engineering equipment etc and have entered cement industry for the first time.
BHEEMA CEMENTS LIMITED Information Memorandum
Plant had stopped their operation in 2014. All the approvals for restarting the operations
are to be renewed/ obtained.
Maintenance of the plant is reported to be done during stoppage of the plant for the last 6
years. The plant can be made operational within a period of 6 months after overhauling,
oiling/greasing and replacement of required parts like idlers, belts, bearings, roofing etc.
Ever increasing the logistic and fright cost.
Shortage of fuel in the Country.
Major raw material is Lime stone. BCL was holding 3 mining leases for Limestone in
Ramapuram and Vepalamadhavaram Villages of Mellacheruvu Mandal, Suryapet District.
The lenders may insist upon the company to take adequate insurance cover for insurable
Force Majeure risks.
Process optimisation as the plant is not operational for a period of ~6 years
MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION OF RISK FACTORS
India is the second largest producer of cement in the world. It accounts for more than 7% of the
global installed capacity. 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 initiatives, such as development of 98 smart cities, is expected to provide a major boost to
the sector.
Cement production reached 329 million tonnes (MT) in FY20 and is projected to reach 381 MT
by FY22. However, the consumption stood at 327 MT in FY20 and will reach 379 MT by FY22.
The cement production capacity is estimated to touch 550 MT by 2020. As India has a high
quantity and quality of limestone deposits through-out the country, the cement industry promises
huge potential for growth.
As per Crisil Ratings, the Indian cement industry is likely to add ~80 million tonnes (MT)
capacity by FY24, the highest since the last 10 years, driven by increasing spending on housing
and infrastructure activities.
BHEEMA CEMENTS LIMITED Information Memorandum
The new management representing Fortuna Group with rich and diverse backgrounds in core
Engineering and Manufacturing sector are fully resolved to restore the plant to its former glory.
Presently the control of the company has been handed over to us and work is underway in line to
commence commercial production form early November this year.
Execution Strategy:
An immaculate execution strategy to revive the plant in record time and operate at the best
industry standards
Three phase revival strategy to restoration of the grinding plant, development of mine and
clinker facility and moving on to capacity addition in line with our growth strategy
Addition of latest engineering innovations to the existing line of machinery to operate at
one of the lowest cost of productions in the Industry and increased capacity
Industry veterans with a combined experience of over 150 years are part of the revival and
restoration team.
Financial Engineering by experts to keep the cost of capital at the lowest and ensure
sufficient working capital to sustain our operationalization plan for the factory.
The management is thankful for the support offered by the Government of Telangana in the
revival stage and is certain that the Company shall face a turnaround by the end of next fiscal.
Railway Siding can be developed very easily into the plant with railway bridge less than
onekilometer away from the packing plant. Due to NCLT revival, likely incentives from the
Government, such as power concession of Rs.2/Unit for 5 years, and SGST reimbursement for a
period of 10 years are possible, which allows us to use that leverage in pricing to gain market
share quickly in the Southern states.
Over 400 acres of lands owned by the company and another 300 acres of lands leased to the
company. Grade of the limestone is very good with 92% lime content allowing us to manufacture
high-grade cements
BHEEMA CEMENTS LIMITED Information Memorandum
On successful Completion of the restoration work, the Company can start the commercial
production by procuring Clinker from outside which can be sourced locally or imported based on
international freights at a rate of around 2200-2500 TPD
310 acres off 394 acres of land owned by the plant have been updated in the latest digital land
records portal. After updation of the balance records as well, aerial survey and mapping of lands
along with a physical fence shall be taken up to prevent any encroachments.
CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS TO ADDRESS THE INTERNAL RISKS AND
OPERATIONALIZE THE PLANT:
Overhauling of the grinding andpacking plant has started
Critical spares ordered
Gear Boxes opened and motors arebeing mechanically run
Blowers are turned on
Instrumentation OEM’s in place
Expecting trial production in next30 to 45 days.
Power connection to be restored

official online andrecord database)
Mining License Renewals for existing 3 Licenses of430 acres and conversion of PL1
(provisional lease) foradditional 237 aces adjacent to the plant in progress.
Government GO approving the incentive package of Rs2 concession per unit for 5 years a
and SGST reimbursement for 5 years.
Temporary BIS registration for OPC 43 and 53 Gr grades applied
All other necessary approvals from state govt through Single Window Clearance
All necessary approvals required for the plant to run asa going concern or all approvals
which were in place before CIRP shall be deemed to be granted after NCLT order
In order to help private sector companies, thrive in the industry, the Government has been
approving their investment schemes. Some of the initiatives taken by the Government off late are
as below:
BHEEMA CEMENTS LIMITED Information Memorandum
In October 2021, Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi, launched the ‘PM Gati Shakti -
National Master Plan (NMP)’ for multimodal connectivity. Gati Shakti will bring synergy
to create a world-class, seamless multimodal transport network in India. This will boost the
demand for cement in the future.
In July 2021, the government established a council of 25 members (comprising UltraTech
Cement MD Mr. K C Jhanwar, Dalmia Bharat Group CMD Mr. Puneet Dalmia) for the
cement industry to reduce waste, achieve maximum production, enhance quality, reduce
costs and encourage standardisation of products.
In Union Budget 2021-22, the Government of India extended benefits, under Section 80-
IBA of the Income Tax Act, until March 31, 2021, to promote affordable rental housing in
India.
In the next 10 years, India could become the main exporter of clinker and gray cement to the
Middle East, Africa, and other developing nations of the world. Cement plants near the ports, for
instance the plants in Gujarat and Visakhapatnam, will have an added advantage for export and
will logistically be well armed to face stiff competition from cement plants in the interior of the
country. India’s cement production capacity is expected to reach 550 MT by 2025.
Due to the increasing demand in various sectors such as housing, commercial construction and
industrial construction, cement industry is expected to reach 550-600 million tonnes per annum
(MTPA) by the year 2025. A number of foreign players are also expected to enter the cement
sector owing to the profit margins and steady demand.
BHEEMA CEMENTS LIMITED Information Memorandum
Cement production reached 329 million tonnes (MT) in FY20 and is projected to reach 381 MT by
FY22. However, the consumption stood at 327 MT in FY20 and will reach 379 MT by FY22. The
cement production capacity is estimated to touch 550 MT by 2020. As India has a high quantity and
quality of limestone deposits through-out the country, the cement industry promises huge potential
for growth.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
India is the second largest cement producer in the world and accounted for over 7% of the global
installed capacity. India’s overall cement production capacity was nearly 545 million tonnes
(MT) in FY20. Of the total capacity, 98% lies with the private sector and the rest with public
sector. The top 20 companies account for around 70% of the total cement production in India. As
India has a high quantity and quality of limestone deposits through-out the country, the cement
industry promises huge potential for growth. The demand of cement industry is expected to reach
550-600 MT per annum (MTPA) by 2025 because of the expanding demand of different sectors,
i.e., housing, commercial construction, and industrial construction.
India’s overall cement production accounted for 294.4 million tonnes (MT) in FY21 and 329
million tonnes (MT) in FY20.
India’s cement production in February 2021 increased by 7.8% compared to February 2020.
India’s overall cement production accounted for 262 million tonnes (MT) in FY21 (Till February
2021). The cement production is expected to increase by 10% to 12% and the utilization is
expected around 65% in FY22.
As per ICRA, in FY22, the cement production in India is expected to increase by ~12% YoY,
driven by rural housing demand and government’s strong focus on infrastructure development.
As per Crisil Ratings, the Indian cement industry is likely to add ~80 million tonnes (MT)
capacity by FY24, the highest since the last 10 years, driven by increasing spending on housing
and infrastructure activities.
Higher allocation for infrastructure–34.9% in roads, 8.7% in metros and 33.6% in railways in
budget estimates of FY22, over FY21, is likely to boost demand for cement. Several government
schemes such as MGNREGA, PM Garib Kalyan Rozgar Abhiyan and state-level schemes such
as Matir Srisht (West Bengal) and public work schemes (Jharkhand) have aided demand
BHEEMA CEMENTS LIMITED Information Memorandum
In October 2021, Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi, launched the ‘PM Gati Shakti - National
Master Plan (NMP)’ for multimodal connectivity. Gati Shakti will bring synergy to create a
world-class, seamless multimodal transport network in India. This will boost the demand for
cement in the future.
According to CLSA (institutional brokerage and investment group), the Indian cement sector is
witnessing improved demand. Key players reported by the company are ACC, Dalmia and
Ultratech Cement. In the second quarter of FY21, Indian cement companies reported a sharp
rebound in earnings and demand for the industry increased, driven by rural recovery. With the
rural markets normalising, the demand outlook remained strong. For FY21, CLSA expects a 14%
YoY increase in EBITDA in the cement market for its coverage stocks.
Growth in Infrastructure and real estate sector, post-COVID-19 pandemic, is likely to augment
the demand for cement in 2021. The industry is likely to add an ~8 MTPA capacity in cement
production. In the third quarter of FY21, Indian cement companies reported a healthy growth in
earnings and demand for the industry increased on the back of resuming construction activities
post COVID-19 lockdown imposed by the government.
A total of 210 large cement plants account for a combined installed capacity of 410 MT in the
country, whereas 350 mini cement plants make up for the rest. Of the total 210 large cement
plants in India, 77 are in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Tamil Nadu. Sale of
cement in India stood at Rs 63,771 crore (US$ 9.05 billion) in FY20. To enhance the source of
capital for infrastructure financing, Credit Guarantee Enhancement Corporation, for which
regulations have been notified by the RBI, will be set up in FY20.
In July 2021, the government established a council of 25 members (comprising UltraTech
Cement MD Mr. K C Jhanwar, Dalmia Bharat Group CMD Mr. Puneet Dalmia) for the cement
industry to reduce waste, achieve maximum production, enhance quality, reduce costs and
encourage standardisation of products.
BHEEMA CEMENTS LIMITED Information Memorandum
According to the data released by Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade
(DPIIT), cement and gypsum products attracted Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) worth US$
5.28 billion between April 2000 and June 2021.
As per Chemicals & Allied Products Export Promotion Council (CAPEXIL), India’s export of
cement, clinker and asbestos stood at US$ 627.7 million in FY21. India exported cement to
countries such as Sri Lanka, Nepal, the US, the UAE and Bangladesh.
The Government of India is strongly focused on infrastructure development to boost economic
growth and is aiming for 100 smart cities. The Government also intends to expand the capacity
of railways and the facilities for handling and storage to ease the transportation of cement and
reduce transportation cost. These measures would lead to an increased construction activity,
thereby boosting cement demand. The Union Budget allocated Rs. 13,750 crore (US$ 1.88
billion) and Rs. 12,294 crore (US$ 1.68 billion) for Urban Rejuvenation Mission: AMRUT and
Smart Cities Mission and Swachh Bharat Mission, respectively and Rs. 27,500 crore (US$ 3.77
billion) has been allotted under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.

ANNEXURE-1
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT
Economic Outlook
India’s economic growth fell from 6.5% in fiscal 2018-19 to 4.0% in fiscal 2019-20, reflecting
an 11-year low. Due to the impact of COVID-19, the Gross Domestic Product (‘GDP’) is
expected to contract by 7.7% in fiscal 2020-21, as per the first advance estimates released by the
National Statistical Office. While the full impact of the COVID-19 lockdown was felt in the
April-June quarter, the worst may have been avoided with a faster than expected recovery of the
manufacturing sector in the July-September quarter, and a revival of consumer demand
sentiment during the festive season.
The outlook for fiscal 2021-22 is firmly positive with an estimated GDP growth of ~11%. The
Union Budget 2021 focuses on continued spending to stimulate growth as the economy tries to
recover from the impact of COVID-19. The outlay for capital expenditure for Financial Year
2021-22 has been increased by 26% YoY with a specific emphasis on infrastructure which, in
turn, will provide a boost to the employment numbers. While this would stretch the fiscal
consolidation path in the near to medium term, the fiscal deficit is budgeted to improve to 6.8%
of GDP in 2021-22
Infrastructure Boom:
BHEEMA CEMENTS LIMITED Information Memorandum
Recent announcement by PM Modi Ji on Independence Day of a $1 Trillion Dollar
National Infrastructure Plan “Gati Shakti” shall give further impetus to an already

core manufacturing and infrastructure sector is very spirited worldwide
All the core infrastructure companies Cement and Steel are delivering their life-time best
profit results and their respective shares are soaring at all time highs in the stock markets.
Cement Industry Outlook:
India is the world’s second largest cement producer with a cumulative production capacity of
540 Million tonnes per annum (‘MTPA’) in 2020. The pandemic led to a slowdown and delay in
capacity expansion projects.
Rural demand continues to be the silver lining for cement consumption while that from the
infrastructure sector was in a slower lane. Infrastructure demand witnessed gradual pickup from
September onwards on the back of improving government spending, coupled with gradual
normalisation in labour availability.

Board may pay or allow interest at such rate, not exceeding without the
sanction of the company in General Meeting 9 percent per annum, as the

moneys called or payable at a fixed time in respect of such share whether
the time for payment shall actually have arrived or not and no equitable
interest in any share shall be created except upon the footing and condition
that Article 23 hereof is to have full effect. Such lien extends to all
dividends from time to time declared in respect of such share. Unless
otherwise agreed, the registration of a transfer of a share shall operate as a
waiver of the Company’s lien. If any, in such share.
38. For the purpose of enforcing such lien the Board may sell the share subject
thereto in such manner as it shall think fit, and for that purpose may cause
to be issued a duplicate certificate in respect of such share and may
authorize one of its members to execute a transfer thereof on behalf of and
in the name of such Member. No sale shall be made until such period as
aforesaid shall have arrived, and until notice in writing of the intention to
sell shall have been served on such member or his representatives and

shares before the sale, be paid to the person entitled to the shares
immediately prior to the same.

aforesaid, the Board may at any time thereafter during such time as the
call or installment remains unpaid give notice to him requiring him to pay
the same together with any interest that may have accrued and all expenses
that may have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-
payment.
41. The notice shall name a day (not being less than fourteen days from the

paid. The notice shall also state that in the event of the non-payment at or
before the time and at the place appointed the shares in respect of which
the call was made or installment is payable will be liable to be forfeited.

be given to the Member in whose name it stood immediately prior to the
