India’s steel industry is experiencing a surge in demand driven by the rapid growth of the pre-engineered building (PEB) segment. In a major development, EPACK Prefab, one of the country’s leading PEB manufacturers, announced the successful delivery of over 12.3 million square feet of PEBs for top industrial clients in the cement and steel sectors, including Tata Steel, Jindal Steel, Dalmia, Ultratech, Ambuja, and Calcom Cement. These projects have been primarily executed in key industrial zones across Assam and Maharashtra, signaling the increasing preference for modular, steel-intensive construction in rapidly developing regions.
EPACK’s Managing Director, Sanjay Singhania, noted that PEBs are being widely adopted due to their ability to reduce construction time by up to 50 per cent and cut carbon emissions by nearly 60 per cent. These advantages, coupled with flexible design capabilities and faster project turnaround, make PEBs an ideal solution for heavy industrial users. The company’s projects span warehousing, manufacturing, and logistics facilities-sectors that are integral to India’s infrastructure and economic goals.
According to Grand View Research, India’s PEB market is expected to generate USD 1.84 billion in revenue in 2024, with projections estimating a rise to USD 3.93 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5 per cent. This growth trajectory reflects strong interest from both public and private sectors in adopting steel-based construction to meet the needs of a rapidly industrializing nation.
As infrastructure spending accelerates and environmental regulations tighten, PEBs are emerging as a key growth driver for the Indian steel sector. With efficiency, scalability, and sustainability at their core, pre-engineered buildings are set to redefine how India builds its industrial future.
