The launch follows an investment of INR 350 crore to establish a world-class integrated manufacturing facility at Naidupeta, Andhra Pradesh, dedicated to producing AAC Blocks, Rapid Wall Panels and Fibre Cement Boards. Constructed in a record 12 months, the facility introduces globally benchmarked Laminar Flow Technology to India, enabling the production of precision-engineered, sustainable building materials designed for modern construction requirements.
Speaking at the launch, Mr. P Selva Sundaram, Chairman and Managing Director, Renaatus Group, said, "The launch of RENAFLEX represents a defining milestone in Renacon's journey towards becoming a complete building solutions provider. Our INR 350 crore investment reflects our long-term vision of combining advanced manufacturing, innovation and sustainability to create world-class products for India's construction industry. By bringing globally proven Laminar Flow Technology to India, we are delivering Fibre Cement Boards that offer superior strength, precision, durability and consistency while supporting faster, safer and greener construction. As India accelerates infrastructure development under Vision 2047 and the 'Make in India' initiative, RENAFLEX will empower architects, developers, contractors and homeowners with high-performance building materials that are built for the future."
The launch expands Renacon's growing portfolio, which includes Renacon AAC Blocks, South India's largest and one of the most preferred AAC block brands, manufactured across three facilities in Tamil Nadu with a combined annual production capacity of one million cubic metres. The company also manufactures Rapid Wall AAC Sandwich Panels and Renafix Drymix Products.
With India's construction sector increasingly adopting sustainable and high-performance building materials, Renacon expects RENAFLEX to contribute significantly to modern dry wall solutions amid labour shortages by enabling faster, safer and environmentally responsible construction across residential, commercial and industrial projects. The product is also expected to support faster execution of government housing initiatives, including the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana 2.0 scheme targeting 1 crore additional houses and the Affordable Rental Housing Complexes scheme.
India's AAC market has been growing at a CAGR of 10–12% since 2010 and is projected to expand by nearly 15% annually over the next five years. Renacon expects RENAFLEX to play a key role in accelerating the adoption of advanced Fibre Cement Board systems and supporting the transition towards faster, greener and more sustainable construction across India. The company is targeting 100% utilization of the existing plant in Naidupeta by March 2027, which will help RENAFLEX gain a significant share in the Fibre Cement Board market within a year and a half.
The Naidupeta facility has an annual production capacity of 60,000 metric tonnes of Fibre Cement Boards, making it Asia's largest integrated AAC and Fibre Cement Board manufacturing facility. The project is expected to generate direct and indirect employment for more than 1000 people while strengthening domestic manufacturing under the Government of India's "Make in India" initiative.
The manufacturing process is powered by Laminar Flow Technology, an advanced production system that ensures superior flexural strength, excellent impact resistance, zero undulation for exceptionally smooth surfaces, high dimensional accuracy and consistency, and enhanced durability for long-term performance.
The facility manufactures Type A (High Density) and Type B Fibre Cement Boards, along with RENAFLEX Elegante Designer Fibre Cement Boards developed for architects and designers seeking premium aesthetics for wall cladding, façades and interior décor. The high-density boards are engineered for demanding exterior applications requiring exceptional strength and weather resistance.
RENAFLEX Fibre Cement Boards are designed for modern interior and exterior construction systems, combining durability, safety and sustainability. The boards offer fire resistance, moisture resistance, termite resistance, high dimensional stability, smooth and consistent finishes, long service life and faster installation with reduced maintenance.
The products are suitable for applications including interior partitions, false ceilings, façades, mezzanine flooring, roof underlay, wet area installations, duct covering, prefabricated structures, furniture and modular interiors.
Manufactured through environmentally responsible processes, RENAFLEX supports sustainable construction by reducing environmental impact while improving durability, operational efficiency and lifecycle performance. The product aligns with green building certification frameworks such as IGBC and GRIHA, helping developers deliver environmentally responsible and energy-efficient buildings.
With growing emphasis on fire-rated construction across commercial, industrial and public infrastructure projects, RENAFLEX is positioned for applications in commercial buildings, hospitals, educational institutions, industrial facilities, site offices, security cabins and residential developments.
Fibre Cement Boards have already gained widespread acceptance across Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States, China and Australia for their strength, durability and sustainability. Through RENAFLEX, Renacon aims to bring these globally benchmarked standards to the Indian construction industry.
Renacon will initially focus on markets in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and Kerala before expanding into international markets across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The company plans for 50% of the business of Renaatus Products Private Limited to come from exports.
The company expects rising demand for prefabricated construction, sustainable building materials and fire-rated building systems to drive growth in both domestic and overseas markets.
