China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has published its first batch of qualified cement production lines.

There are 108 cement production lines at 68 companies included in the list which have met the industry's access requirements.

Companies such as Jidong Cement, Tianshan Cement, Anhui Wanwei Updated High-Tech Material Industry, Conch Cemen, Huaxin Cement and Henan Tongli Cenment Corp are included in the list.

Orient Securities believes that investors can focus on shares of the cement industry as downstream demand for the cement is increasing. The price of cement went up 0.48 per cent week on week over the period of 10-14 September. (Source: Xinhua News Agency)
