Infra.Market, a prominent player in India’s construction materials sector, has achieved a major milestone by becoming the country’s largest producer of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks. With a total of nine manufacturing facilities across India, the company now boasts an annual production capacity of 3 million cubic meters. This development signifies a major advancement in sustainable construction, effectively serving various regional markets while minimizing transportation costs and environmental impact.
AAC blocks, increasingly favored as an eco-friendly alternative, now account for 7-8% of the traditional brick market. Their rising popularity reflects a growing consciousness about environmental sustainability in construction. Infra.Market, a member of the Indian Green Building Council, is dedicated to promoting sustainable construction practices.
Pankaj Phadnis, COO – Walling Solutions, Infra.Market., stated, “Our expansion in AAC block production meets the evolving demands of India’s construction sector. We are committed to delivering high-quality products that reduce environmental impact and have invested significantly in technology and automation to cater to the increasing demand for sustainable building materials.”
Phadnis emphasized the company’s dedication to producing only Grade 1 AAC blocks, which are known for their durability and reliability. “Our tagline, ‘Majboot Blocks, Majboot Deewarein,’ underscores our commitment to offering products that provide enduring strength and dependability.”
Looking ahead, Infra.Market plans to further boost its annual production capacity. AAC blocks are valued for their lightweight, strength, energy efficiency, and environmental benefits. They incorporate recycled materials and offer excellent insulation, aligning with government initiatives like the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), which seeks to provide affordable and eco-friendly housing solutions.
Infra.Market’s rise to the top of the AAC block manufacturing sector represents a positive shift towards materials that combine performance with environmental responsibility. With facilities in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Hubli, Kolhapur, Mumbai, Panipat, and Pune, the company is well-positioned to drive sustainable building practices and support the construction industry’s evolution across India.
