Cement

Cement is the binder that makes concrete and mortar work. In India the practical choice is between Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC 43 and 53 grade), Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) blended with fly ash, and Portland Slag Cement (PSC) blended with ground slag.

OPC 53 gains strength fastest and suits structural members on a tight cycle. PPC and PSC gain strength more slowly but end up denser and more durable, which matters for foundations, plaster and coastal or aggressive environments.

Typical units: bag (50 kg), tonne. Track live per-bag rates by metro on the Nautook cement price index.

• Structural concrete for columns, beams and slabs
• Masonry mortar and plaster
• Flooring, screeds and tile adhesive beds
• Precast elements, blocks and pavers
• Grouting and repair mortars

OPC 43

General purpose, plaster and non-critical concrete.

OPC 53

High early strength for structural RCC and precast.

PPC (fly ash blended)

Better workability and long-term durability; the common default for residential work.

PSC (slag blended)

Excellent sulphate and chloride resistance; preferred near coastal and industrial areas.

• Check the manufacturing date printed on the bag. Cement older than about three months loses strength; older than six months, walk away.
• Store bags off the floor on planks, away from walls, in a dry covered space. A single wet monsoon night can write off a stack.
• Squeeze a handful — good cement feels smooth and cool and forms no hard lumps.
• Compare the landed per-bag rate, not the ex-mill price. Freight and loading are the difference.
