ANEPL Offers the Best Technology
India is the second largest producer of bricks in the world, and is next only to China in terms of brick production and it’s estimated to be growing at a rate of 4% per year. The Indian brick industry produces mainly one product, i.e. red coloured, hand moulded, solid bricks. For long-term sustainability of the industry, it is important to diversify the product range and move towards products that are less resource intensive and fulfill market requirements.

The major barriers identified in the Indian brick sector are awareness & availability of technology and financial capability. The endusers such as builders, architects, etc. too lack information on the benefits of using REBs in building construction. All these points added with the ever imposing issue of availability of workers makes us to believe a lot of potential in Indian market for ANEPL’s Automatic AAC block and Red clay brick/ block.
