National, 9th September 2024 – Infra.Market, one of India’s leading construction materials companies, has reached a significant milestone, becoming India’s largest manufacturer of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks. With nine plants across the country, the company now boasts an annual production capacity of 3 million cubic metres, marking a significant step forward for sustainable construction in India, serving diverse regional markets effectively and reducing transportation costs and environmental impact.
AAC blocks, with their growing appeal as a greener alternative, currently represent 7-8% of the conventional brick market. Their increasing adoption reflects a growing awareness of environmental issues in construction and as a member of the Indian Green Building Council, Infra.Market is actively involved in promoting sustainable construction practices.
“Our growth in AAC block production is a response to the changing needs of India’s construction industry,” says Pankaj Phadnis, President-Retail, Infra.Market. “We’re proud to offer a product that performs well and helps reduce the environmental impact of building projects. This expansion is backed by significant investments in technology and automation and will help meet the growing demand for sustainable building materials across India.”
He further added, “At the heart of what we do is a deep commitment to producing only Grade 1 AAC blocks that are both strong and reliable. Our tagline, ‘Majboot Blocks, Majboot Deewarein,’ reflects our promise to deliver products that stand the test of time, offering strength and trust you can depend on.”
The company aims to significantly enhance its annual production capacity in the coming years.
AAC blocks are lightweight yet strong, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly – a combination that is becoming increasingly vital in modern construction. The green building certifications incorporate recycled materials and offer superior insulation properties. Tech advancements ensure consistent quality and efficient production across all nine manufacturing facilities. The company’s R&D lab further enhances product performance, focusing on innovation and rigorous quality control. This aligns well with government initiatives like Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), which aims to provide affordable and environmentally friendly housing solutions.
