Innovation & sustainable construction

Kirby India has always been at the forefront of innovation by investing in new production technologies and enhancing the performance through continuous product development. Integrating the company’s strength and expertise along with innovation has helped the company lead the Indian PEB market.

PEB is one of the choices when it comes to sustainable and eco-friendly construction as steel is 100% recyclable and can be re-used for making other products when compared to conventional buildings. These buildings are also referred to as green buildings which has caught the attention of many builders, developers, etc. across India and is making inroads across all types of construction. Kirby India is in the forefront of this innovation and is leading the green construction in the country through its PEB technology, thereby contributing to the green building movement.

Driving factors

Steel forms a major component of any PEB and is the only key raw material for any type of steel building. Steel is definitely going to see an increase in the acceptability as one of the key building materials apart from the existing other building materials. Also, with government giving impetus to steel industry to increase their capacity to produce an estimated 300 million tonnes by 2030-31, consumption of steel is going to increase in the coming years. The per capita consumption of steel has increased from 57.6 kg to 74.1 kg during the last five years and is estimated to reach up to 160 kg by 2030-31 (GoI).

PEB industry has got immense potential to grow in the coming years as the PLI scheme would bring in huge investments in the manufacturing sector, thereby leading to increase in demand for large scale Grade A warehouses. Other projects such as Atma Nirbhar Bharat, Make in India, Industrial Corridors, National Investment & Manufacturing Zones, Gati Shakti Plan, Freight Corridors, etc. will attract huge investments, thereby increasing the demand for PEBs. This is phenomenal and it will drive the overall economy as there is a huge growth potential in India over the next few years where PEB industry will dominate and create its own space in this growing construction segment.
