The Aditya Birla Group has initiated a restructuring exercise for its cement business; it plans to demerge the cement business of Grasim and merge it in two phases with the Rs 6,383-crore UltraTech. The merger will create India&rsquo;s biggest cement producer with a capacity of close to 50 million tonnes and a pan-India presence. Cement accounted for 63 per cent of Grasim&rsquo;s revenues of Rs 18,400 crore last year and analysts estimate the combined entity should generate an operating profit of Rs 4,500-5,000 crore in 2009-10. At the end of the two-stage transaction, Grasim is expected to have a stake of 60 per cent in the new entity.
