Cement stocks have opened the day on a firm note with Grasim and ACC in the green. Grasim Industries which has interest in cement to yarn business seems to be at inflexion point with major expansion plans in all the businesses that are planned in the next two years. For the same reason the company has opened the post of Managing Director for the first time in the last 65 years. Mr K.K. Maheshwari who has been associated with Grasim for last 30 years is the obvious choice for the post as he has handled leadership positions in many divisions within the Aditya Birla group. The reason for opening a post of Managing Director within Grasim is to manage the growth plans in each vertical. The new target for each of the company's division is to be among the top two in the respective categories.
