Balvantsinh Rajput, the Gujarat government’s minister of industries, MSME, and chief guest, was also present, along with top representatives from SCG International and BigBloc Construction.

BigBloc Construction and SCG International, a Thai company, have formed a strategic joint venture with the aim of establishing a cutting-edge AAC Wall and AAC Block production facility in Kheda District, close to Ahmedabad (Gujarat). BigBloc Construction owns 52% of the joint venture, with SCG International holding the remaining 48%. The SCG Group’s initial investment in India is this. One of the biggest cement and building material companies in Thailand and Southeast Asia, SCG was founded in 1913 and is present in more than 22 countries. It has joint ventures with numerous foreign companies and operates in a variety of verticals, including cement, construction materials, packaging, chemicals, and many others.

BigBloc Construction Ltd.’s managing director, Naresh Saboo, stated: “This joint venture fosters a bond between countries and cultures, going beyond a simple business alliance.” September 2023 saw the commencement of construction at the plant, and a year later production got underway, setting an incredible record in India’s AAC industry. In the future, SCG and Bigbloc will collaborate on all building material solutions in order to fortify the Indian supply chain, take advantage of one another’s strengths, and offer outstanding solutions to the building sector. The project has the ability to grow to 5 lakh cubic meters per year in the second phase with consent from both joint venture parties.

In addition to being non-toxic and sustainable, AAC walls and blocks offer higher build quality, are lightweight, soundproof, and fire resistant. They are also more affordable and environmentally friendly than traditional bricks.

The first AAC wall plant in India will be located in the joint venture plant in Kheda, Gujarat. For the Indian market, the company will introduce a broad variety of big format AAC wall products measuring 8–12 feet in length, 2 feet in width, and 3–8 inches in thickness. When operating at full capacity, the factory is estimated to provide revenues of about ₹100 crore annually and create 250 employment opportunities. Along with bringing cutting-edge building materials to Indian markets, the joint venture hopes to foster mutual growth and cooperation in the construction industry and the sharing of techno-commercial expertise.

“This collaboration combines SCG’s century-long expertise and advanced technologies with BigBloc’s deep understanding of the local market, and we are poised to make a significant impact on India’s construction industry by delivering cost-effective and sustainable construction solutions,” stated Abhijit Datta, Head of International Business and Managing Director of SCG International. Presenting “ZMARTBUILD WALL by NXTBLOC,” the next generation of superior walling solutions, with pride. One wall at a time, this innovative project aims to redefine India’s building industry rather than just establish new benchmarks.
