海嘯將促進(jìn)印度南部水泥銷售
在此次災(zāi)難中死去的災(zāi)民親屬可獲得一筆賠償金， 其中部分將用在住宅建設(shè)上，這反映在水泥銷售的上升上。當(dāng)然水泥的消耗量要看災(zāi)民是否自己重建或政府為他們重建住宅。同時(shí)島嶼上的防護(hù)設(shè)施建設(shè)也將使水泥需求增加。海嘯破壞了印度部分海軍和空軍基地，這些基地對水泥的需求是較大的。
從百分比上看，受災(zāi)地區(qū)的水泥需求增加不是很多，除非政府改建一些臨時(shí)的小棚。但從過去的記錄看，印度政府并不鼓勵(lì)將臨時(shí)小棚改建成混凝土建筑。

Tsunami likely to push up cement offtake in South
Cement makers expect a small increase in the offtake of cement in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and the Andaman & Nicobar islands due to reconstruction efforts after the destruction caused by the tsunami.
A lot, however, depends on how efficiently and quickly the government begins reconstruction of houses and structures washed out by the giant waves.
The Union government is estimated to spend around Rs 3,000 crore on relief and reconstruction in the tsunami affected areas.
Cement makers hope to garner a part of this by way of the government’s purchase of cement for rebuilding homes and infrastructure in the region.
“Surely some part of the relief package will get translated into a higher offtake of cement for housing construction. The quantum will, however, depend on whether affected people rebuild their houses on their own or the government does it for them,” said a senior official at ACC, India’s largest cement producer.
Cement makers, however, expect a substantial jump in cement demand from the defence installations in the Andaman & Nicobar islands. The tsunami caused extensive damage to the Navy and Air Force bases on the islands.
“Defence purchases could be large; the details are, however, very sketchy at the moment,” said a senior official of an Andhra Pradesh-based cement company.
In percentage terms, companies project only a small increase in incremental demand in the affected states, unless the government decides to convert all temporary huts in permanent ones.
“The past record of the state government in house-rebuilding is not very encouraging. Every few years, huts along the coastal belt in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh get destroyed in cyclones, but the governments have never attempted to convert them into concrete houses,” said a senior official of a South-based cement maker.
