The infrastructure and the government’s ‘Housing for All’ initiative led to 9 percent growth in the cement industry in CY18, said Motilal Oswal. However, Ambuja Cements' profitability took a hit due to increased raw material and fuel prices, it said. Cash flow from operations before taxes and working capital changes declined 6 percent to Rs 1,810 crore in CY18. The research firm has maintained a neutral stance on the stock.
