Dynamic dalmia: can they do it again?

Abstract

This case study is about Dalmia Cement which is one of the oldest cement companies in India, established in the year 1939. In early 2000s, the company started its journey of aggressive growth under the leadership of a young promoter-cum-managing director. The company has been one of the best-performing companies in Indias in the last decade and being valued as one of the most valuable scrips of the stock market. The company has grown organically as well as inorganically by meticulously executing strategies of mergers and acquisitions and forging strategic alliances to spur the growth. While the company has a clear growth strategy for the future, it needs to find ways of going forward to ensure it traverses on the same growth path as it has done before.
