Kirby India has also successfully ventured into many unexplored territories like Shipyards, Power Plant Structures, Bridge Girders, Steel Plants, Multi-Level Process Buildings, Conveyor Structures, High Rise Office Buildings, Data Centers, etc., thereby making inroads into these areas for the PEB industry and laying the foundation for a similar type of projects.

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

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

Driving factors
Steel is a major PEB component and is the only key raw material for any steel building. Steel will see an increase in acceptability as one of the key building materials apart from the existing building materials. Also, with the government giving impetus to the steel industry to increase its capacity to produce an estimated 300 million tonnes by 2030-31, steel consumption will 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 160 kg by 2030-31 (GoI).

The PEB industry has immense potential to grow in the coming years as the PLI scheme would bring in huge investments in the manufacturing sector, thereby increasing demand for large-scale Grade A warehouses. Other projects such as 12 New Industrial Smart Cities under NICDP, 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 huge growth potential in India over the next few years, during which the PEB industry will dominate and create its own space in this growing construction segment.
