Saint-Gobain's Gyproc Business recently launched the largest plasterboard manufacturing facility in India at an investment of Rs 350 crore to serve the growing market. <br />
<br />
Located in Jhagadia, Gujarat, this is India's largest gypsum-based plasterboard manufacturing facility to date, with an annual capacity of 30 million sq m. Gyproc India has three existing plants in India, located in Haryana, Maharashtra and Karnataka. 'Being a global leader in the construction industry, we see lot of opportunities in India to utilise our expertise in sustainable building solutions to enhance human habitats and promote well-being in living spaces,' said <span style="font-weight: bold;">Pierre-AndrT de Chalendar, Chairman and CEO-Compagnie de Saint-Gobain</span>.'Over the past two decades, we have consistently invested in India in developing new markets, in building new world-class manufacturing facilities, in technology and in human capital. The Jhagadia plant, which incorporates the best technology, will help us grow and serve the Indian market.' <br />
<br />
With the construction sector in India expected to remain buoyant, growing demand requires developers in India to opt for high-rise constructions and, hence, explore faster, greener and more efficient construction methods. Gypsum plasterboard-based ceilings and drywall solutions are ideal for such construction as they are lightweight, environment-friendly, facilitate faster construction and offer a lot of flexibility in terms of aesthetics. They can be designed to deliver superior performance across comfort parameters like acoustics, thermal, visual and air-quality and provide fire-safety as well.<br />
<br />
'India is among the best performing regions for Saint-Gobain and it has been our constant endeavour to develop the markets in the country by bringing the best technologies and building world-class manufacturing facilities, in line with the government's Make in India mission,' said <span style="font-weight: bold;">Anand Mahajan, General Delegate, Saint-Gobain Group in India.</span><br />
