A Rs.80-crore plant to come up

14 Mar, 2009

The proposed gypsum-based panel plant will require an investment of Rs.80 crore. The plant will have a capacity to produce 14 lakh square metres of the panel annually. The potential of the product is evident from the fact that the government ha s been focussing on evolving a method to provide mass housing solutions. With these, houses can be built without cement and bricks at a low cost.
These panels can be used to build walls and roofs without brick and cement. They are eco-friendly, weather-resistant, cuts building cost by 25 per cent and reduces construction time by 50 per cent.
