MARKETING
The Company sold 481,304 tonnes of cement during the year against revised
target of 517,957 tonnes.
PRICING POLICY
Mustehkam Cement Limited being the only state owned company in the North has
to align its sales policy with the cement industry in the neighbourhood. During the year
under report, cement industry in the area went into unhealthy price war. Resultantly
booking price of cement was frequently reduced. Against booking price of Rs. 3,900.00 per
tonne as on 13-06-1996 our booking price as on 23-05-1997 was Rs. 3,360.00 per tonne
which remained uptill 30-06-1997.

Average ex-factory price of cement was Rs. 3,621.65 per tonne and average
retention price to the company after deduction of excise duty, sales tax and SCCP cement
surcharge was Rs.1,925.85 per tonne against the cost to make and sell of Rs. 2,288.39
per tonne during the year. Retention price during the last year was Rs.1,889.39 per tonne
against the cost to make and sell of Rs.1,828.67 per tonne. Manufacturing cost has
increased mainly due to increase in the price of furnace oil raising it from Rs. 4,914.71 per
tonne as on 23-05-1996 to Rs. 6,735.64 per tonne as on 05-12-1996 and Rs. 6,366.48 per
