Cement cartelisation: Corporate affairs ministry denies

In July this year (2011), the SFIO (Serious Fraud Investigation Office ) the investigation wing of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs,  had allegedly said that 3 top cement firms had formed a cartel to jack up prices and has recommended a strong action against their managements.

SFIO, was asked to look into price manipulation by three cement firms  ACC, Ambuja and Ultratech  between 2008 and 2010.  SFIO had submitted its report recommending action against the management of these cement companies.  The role of management in forming cartel comes under the purview of the Companies Act.
Corporate affairs minister Veerappa Moily on recently said that there were no signs of cartelisation by leading companies in the cement sector.
