Interarch Building Products Limited, a leading player in the Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB) and steel structure industry, is strengthening its position to meet the growing infrastructure needs of South India. With a focus on sustainable building practices, cutting-edge technology, and innovative solutions, the company is strategically expanding its operations across the region, Manish Kumar Garg, CEO of Interarch Building Products Limited said.
Interarch operates four fully integrated, state-of-the-art manufacturing plants across India, including Sriperumbudur (Tamil Nadu), Pantnagar, Kichha (Uttarakhand) and a recently established unit in Athivaram (Andhra Pradesh) which is further being expanded.
- Expanding overall installed capacity to 200,000 metric tons by mid-2025 to meet rising demand.
- Innovative PEB solutions driving growth in new age sectors
- The Chennai plant plays a key role in supporting the company’s growth strategy in South India
The Chennai plant plays a key role in supporting the company’s growth strategy in South India, addressing the rising demand for sustainable and high-quality Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) solutions.
While interacting with the media, at Interarch’s Sriperumbudur facility, Manish Kumar Garg, CEO of Interarch Building Products Limited, provided a detailed overview, showcasing the process of how Interarch’s Pre Engineered Buildings (PEB) are manufactured.
In addition to driving innovation in design and construction, the Sriperumbudur facility is instrumental in producing factories for emerging sectors like semiconductors and renewables, for clients like Tata Semiconductors, Agartas Energy, Havells, Blue Star and Amara Raja Energy & Mobility Ltd.
“We are at the forefront of meeting the infrastructure demands of South India with our sustainable and scalable solutions, particularly in the rapidly growing demand in semiconductors, renewables, and the data centre sector. By combining cutting-edge technology with a deep focus on sustainability, we aim to make a lasting impact on the region’s development. Our initiatives further strengthen our leadership in the Pre-Engineered Buildings sector, committed to supporting the region’s growth with energy-efficient, flexible solutions that meet the needs of both today and tomorrow,” said Garg.
Mr Garg further said “Interarch’s R&D Centre at Sriperumbudur near Chennai plays a key role in the company’s success. The Centre focuses on providing value-engineered solutions across various sectors, from industrial projects to data centres, while improving design and manufacturing processes. A major shift has been from manual to automated processes, using AI technologies that will reduce project timelines by up to 30%. Additionally, the development of custom tools will boost efficiency and productivity. The company also focuses on training and mentoring new talent through its GET/PGET initiatives, ensuring a strong workforce for future growth.”
Reflecting strong business performance, Interarch is targeting 10% revenue growth for FY25, driven by continued demand for sustainable, high-quality PEB solutions. For FY26, the company expects to maintain its momentum with a projected 10-15% growth, supported by ongoing expansion efforts and a robust order book.
As part of its long-term growth strategy, Interarch aims to achieve an annual installed capacity of 200,000 metric tons by mid-2025, driven by capacity expansions at its Kichha plant and other key facilities, Mr Garg added.
While replying to queries, he said the Interarch is yet to concentrate in residential housing projects in a big way. However, the water scarcity, river sand and other natural resources scarcity in future will necessitate residential PEB projects.
Talking to navjeevanexpress.com, Mr Garg said that Interarch had built a hill resort for the founder of Godrej at Ooty in Nilgiris and many such buildings were built across the nation. When asked about Interarch’s export business, he said that it accounts for 1 per cent of the total business and will make further efforts to improve this in the year to come.
He also explained in details on employee welfare initiatives including education scholarship in the name of an employee who died during Covid.
When asked whether Interarch is providing building solution to the much expected Bullet Train project between Mumbai and Ahmedabad, Mr Garg said it is providing PEB solution to the company which supplies materials to the project.
Subodh Kumar Sharma, Vice President (Works) – Tamil Nadu, Interarch Building Products Limited and other senior officials were also present during the media interaction.
