CII – IGBC’s Green Building movement has gained significant momentum in India and has achieved a green building footprint of more than 6.75 billion square feet, which is 2nd largest green building footprint in the world. IGBC has set a target of achieving about 10 billion sq. ft of green building footprint by the year 2022. This has created enormous demand for credible green products and materials.

To facilitate the end users to select the right green products and materials, CII has launched GreenPro – Green Product Certification. GreenPro is an ecolabel based on lifecycle approach. The label is at par with international standards and accredited by Global Eco-labelling Network.

According to a Moody’s report, India’s cement consumption is projected to rise by 50 per cent over the next five years, increasing from 445 million metric tons per annum (MMTPA) in FY24 to 670 MMTPA by 2030. This growth is expected to be driven by government infrastructure spending and rising housing demand, with an anticipated annual growth rate of 6-7 per cent. To meet this demand, major cement companies are likely to continue acquiring smaller, less profitable firms.
