5. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Nothing concrete can be achieved without an optimal combination of
inspiration and perspiration. No work can be accomplished without taking the
guidance of the import. It is only the critiques for the ingenious intellectual

A project is a major milestone during the study period of a student. As such this
project was a challenge to us and was an opportunity to prove our caliber. It would
not have been possible to see through the undertaken project without the guidance
of Prof. KRISHNA GOR. It was purely on the basis of her experience and
knowledge that we were able to clear all the theoretical and technical hurdles during
the development phases of this project work.
I even show my gratitude towards Dr. N.N. Patel, Director, AIM, ANAND and my
faculty guide Prof Krishna Gor without whose support my project would not be
possible to complete.
I have been able to prepare my report successfully and I acknowledge a special
thanks to all those people without whose support it was impossible for me to make
the project report.

7. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The title of the comprehensive project is “A Comparative Analysis of Financial
Performance of Cement Industry”. Comparative analysis study helps in
determining the various financial studies of the companies. Comparative study
shows the relation between the companies as well as relation between the various
industries of the economy.
Thus, we selected this title for the comparative study of companies in cement
industry. We have selected the following two companies for the study of the
comparative analysis of financial performance of the cement industry in India.
1) AMBUJA CEMENT LTD.
2) BINANI CEMENT LTD.
The companies have been chosen based on market share, production capacity and
net profits for the previous years. Both the companies are the leading producer in the
cement industry in India.
The cement industry is the leading industry in India which is having a very high
growth rate. Cement Industry of India is the world’s second largest producer of
cement products after China. Thus, Indian cement industries in India have a very
high growth rate and it contributes very high percentage to the GDP of Indian
