UltraTech, ACC, Shree Cement surge up to 5%. Should you buy, hold or sell?
Cements companies shares price today Shares of cement manufacturers rallied up to 5 per cent on the BSE in Monday's intra-day trade as media reports suggested that the goods and service tax (GST) rate on cement was likely to be revised down from the current 28 per cent to 18 per cent. Shares of UltraTech Cement (₹2,392) and JK Cement (₹7,335) rallied 5 per cent each, hitting their respective record highs in intra-day trade. Shares of Dalmia Bharat hit a 52-week high of ₹2,392, and also surged 5 per cent in intra-day deals. ACC, Ambuja Cements, JK Lakshmi Cement and Shree Cement were among other notable cement shares gaining between 3 per cent and 5 per cent. In comparison, the BSE Sensex was up 1.3 per cent at 81,602 at 10:35 AM. What's driving cement shares today? A sharp upward movement in cement stocks is being fueled by the announcement of changes in the GST regime by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In addition, procedural simplification and streamlining measures are proposed to enhance ease of business and encourage wider compliance. The central government has proposed that most goods be subsumed in the 5 per cent and 18 per cent GST slabs vs. the existing 5 per cent/12 per cent/18 per cent/28 per cent. Brokerages view on cement sector GST rate on Cement has, ever since the introduction of the GST regime, been held at 28 per cent while other construction inputs like metals, tiles etc carry a rate of 18 per cent. While it is still not certain, there is a potential possibility that Cement may be moved to the 18 per cent bracket, according to analysts at Choice Equity Broking. A 10 per cent cut in GST will lower the cost burden on end consumers of cement, assuming the GST rate cut is immediately passed on to consumers. Affordable cement is set to fuel demand for housing and infrastructure, aligning with the government's Housing for All, Smart Cities, and infrastructure vision. This structural boost is expected to accelerate cement demand, with volume growth rising from 8–9 per cent earlier to ~8-10 per cent pa, unlocking a strong growth runway for cement companies across the board, which will result in higher volume, the brokerage firm said. Analysts at ICICI Securities view the potential rate cut as a sentimental booster for the sector given it may help perk up industry margins. It may be noted that every 1 per cent change in realisation has ~3-5 per cent impact on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization (EBITDA). Of course (post the formal announcement) the industry will have to immediately pass on the rate cut benefit to consumers, however, overtime, we expect the prices to inch up determined by market dynamics and our hypothesis of material reduction in industry-wide competitive intensity, the brokerage firm said, adding UltraTech Cement is their top pick. Meanwhile, Axis Securities expects cement demand to remain strong in FY26, supported by infrastructure spending, steady housing demand, and rural consumption recovery. The sector is expected to see high single-digit volume growth, with ~40 mtpa of new capacity additions in FY26 following 30–35 mtpa in FY25, reflecting confidence in long-term demand. The brokerage firm sees long-term demand growth outpacing supply despite ongoing capacity additions. Key factors to watch include cement price trends, regional demand-supply balances, and movements in fuel costs. The Union Budget 2025–26, core to the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047, has allocated ₹11.21 trillion for the infrastructure sector, providing further tailwind to demand for cement. The outlook for 2025–26 is therefore optimistic, with the cement industry expected to grow by around 8 per cent, UltraTech Cement said in its FY25 annual report.

Tata Motors, Maruti, Ashok Leyland, Hero: In Auto Stocks Rally, Optimism Over PM Modi's GST Move
Last Updated: Shares of auto majors, including Hero MotoCorp, Maruti Suzuki India, Ashok Leyland, TVS Motor and Bajaj Auto, rally 5-8% amid expectations of a GST rate cut. The domestic equity market surged on Monday following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement on GST reforms, S&P Global's rating upgrade on India, and other positive global cues. While the benchmark indices, the BSE Sensex and the NSE Nifty, are up by over 1.3% each, the automobile stocks are fuelling the rally the most, with the Nifty Auto Index trading higher by an impressive 4.5%. Shares of auto majors, including Hero MotoCorp, Maruti Suzuki India, Ashok Leyland, TVS Motor and Bajaj Auto, rallied 5-8% on Monday morning amid expectations that the GST rate on vehicles could be reduced from 28% to 18%. Maruti Suzuki on August 18 hit its all-time high of Rs 14,048 apiece on the NSE, which is up nearly 8.7% compared with the previous close. Ashok Leyland was up by 7.7% at Rs 131.25, Hero MotoCorp was trading higher by 6.7% at Rs 5,024, TVS Motor Company rose 6.8% to Rs 3,226.8, Hyundai Motor India surged by 8.39% to Rs 2,428 apiece on the NSE. Tata Motors also rose nearly 3% on Monday to Rs 685 in morning, while Mahindra & Mahindra was up by 4.5% at Rs 3,412. Bajaj Auto was trading higher by 3.7% at Rs 8,521. Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Independence Day Speech during the weekend announced a major overhaul in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) structure. Though he did not announce any details, reports said the Centre is considering scrapping the current 12% and 28% GST slabs, realigning most items into the 5% and 18% categories. Certain sin or luxury goods may be placed in a new 40% bracket. The Centre is reportedly expected to lower the GST on passenger vehicles (PVs) and two-wheelers, enhancing their affordability quotient. Currently, two-wheelers are taxed at 28%. Analysts believe a cut to 18% is highly probable. Brokerage Notes Global brokerage firm Jefferies in its note said, 'All the listed 2W OEMs – Bajaj, Hero, TVS, and Eicher – should benefit from this cut. We see a low probability of differential GST between entry-level and premium 2Ws." In passenger vehicles, small cars currently face an effective tax of 29-31% including compensation cess, making Maruti Suzuki one of the biggest potential beneficiaries of a rate cut. SUVs, however, are taxed at 45-50%, a rate Jefferies said is unlikely to change. 'Hybrid vehicles attract a similar GST rate as ICE vehicles, compared with 5% for EVs. Any reduction in GST on hybrids could be positive for Maruti," the brokerage added. Commercial vehicles, also taxed at 28%, may see a reduction to 18%. Ashok Leyland, along with Tata Motors and Eicher Motors, would be key gainers in such a scenario, Jefferies said. Domestic brokerage firm Motilal Oswal Financial Services in its report on August 18 said automobiles will be one of the key segments that stand to benefit from GST rationalisation. Passenger vehicle makers Maruti Suzuki and Tata Motors, currently paying 28% GST, are expected to benefit significantly if rates are lowered to 18%. Commercial vehicle maker Ashok Leyland may also see demand tailwinds as GST on trucks and buses comes down to 18% from the current 28%, said Motilal Oswal in the report. Arun Agarwal, vice-president (fundamental research) of Kotak Securities, said, 'The potential GST cuts for the automotive products to 18% would lower on-road prices across segments. We believe lower prices would stimulate demand recovery, and the impact would be more in the mass-market segment. Auto manufacturers (OEM) would gain from higher revenue and potentially higher margin, resulting in possible earnings upgrade." Auto ancillaries would also gain from the potential GST cut. However, the impact would vary depending on geographical exposure. Auto ancillary companies having higher revenue exposure in the domestic market stands to benefit more, whereas the gains for global suppliers would be lower given higher export exposure and tariff-related uncertainty, he added. The government is reportedly planning to propose a simplified two-slab GST structure of 5% and 18%, replacing the current four-tier system of 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%.

GIFT Nifty indicates gap-up opening amid easing oil woes, S&P's rating upgrade
GIFT Nifty: GIFT Nifty August 2025 futures were currently trading 359.50 points (or 1.46%) higher, suggesting that the Nifty 50 could open lower today. Institutional Flows: Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) sold shares worth Rs 1,926.76 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) were net buyers to the tune of Rs 3,895.68 crore in the Indian equity market on 14 August 2025, provisional data showed. According to public data, FPIs have sold shares worth Rs 24,191.51 crore in the cash market during August 2025. This follows their cash sales of shares worth Rs 47,666.68 crore in July 2025. Global Markets: Markets in Asian traded in a mixed manner on Monday after U.S.-Russia summit concluded without a ceasefire. As per media reports, the U.S. President Donald Trump now seemed more aligned with Moscow on seeking a peace deal with Ukraine instead of a ceasefire first, after meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. The reports further state that Trump will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and European leaders later on Monday to discuss the next steps, though actual proposals are vague as yet. US stocks were mixed on Friday as Wall Street tempered its rate-cut hopes amid economic data this week that showed higher-than-expected wholesale inflation and a rise in July retail sales. The Dow rose 0.08%, or 34.86 points, to 44,946.12. The S&P 500 slipped 0.29%, or 18.74 points, to 6,449.80; and the tech-heavy Nasdaq dipped 0.4%, or 87.693 points, to 21,622.977. The US Census Bureau data released Friday morning showed retail sales rose 0.5% in July from the prior month. Meanwhile, US consumer sentiment deteriorated in August, falling for the first time in four months as inflation expectations jumped in the longer term. The US Fed will continue to be in focus this week as central bank members travel to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for the annual economic policy symposium. Domestic Market: The key equity benchmarks ended with minor gains on Friday, buoyed by upbeat domestic WPI data that helped sustain positive momentum. Sentiment was further lifted after S&P Global upgraded Indias sovereign rating from BBB- to BBB while maintaining a stable outlook. Investor caution ahead of Russia-U.S. discussions on the Ukraine conflict kept the rally in check during the holiday-shortened week. Meanwhile, the June-quarter earnings season wraps up today, with the final batch of companies set to announce their results. The Nifty closed above the 24,600 mark. Gains, however, were capped by weakness in metal and energy stocks. The S&P BSE Sensex added 57.75 points or 0.07% to 80,597.66. The Nifty 50 index rose 11.95 points or 0.05% to 24,631.30. In two trading sessions, the Sensex and Nifty jumped 0.45% and 0.59%, respectively.
