First impact
Residential Electricity →DelaysElectricity Generation
A thermal power outage directly halts the generation step that supplies residential electricity, so available output is delayed until repairs and restart.
95% confidenceNTPC Limited →Shortage riskIf NTPC's thermal generation is halted, its fly ash and slag byproduct output falls, tightening supply in a market where NTPC has an 8% share and replacement takes months.

Fly Ash & Slag (SCMs) →Prices riseA shutdown that tightens fly ash and slag supply raises replacement costs for cement and concrete producers, which use these SCMs as inputs.

Cement and concrete →Prices easeIf fly ash shortages force lower blended-cement output, purchases of the dominant limestone input soften, putting downward pressure on limestone prices.

Limestone (Cement Grade) →Stands to benefitChina's dominant supply share means it is the main limestone source likely to benefit if cement demand shifts toward more limestone feedstock.

If fly ash and slag shortages force cement plants to rely more on clinker-grade limestone, a major limestone consumer like CNBM faces higher input costs.
