UltraTech Cement has invited notable architects, experts and bright talent from the student community in the engineering and architectural sectors to register for the 5th edition of its IndiaNext initiative.

The theme of this year’s IndiaNext initiative is ‘Build with Speed’, in which India’s talent mix of engineers, architects and designers will compete to choose a project from an urban or rural context and propose an innovative design to create an impact and help India achieve its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The theme of ‘Build with Speed’ aims at developing home designs, aided with latest technologies, processes and materials, that can recraft India’s growth story. Participants choosing the urban context, will focus on development of housing solutions aimed at rehabilitation of migrant workers or slum-based population. Those who choose the rural context, will focus on developing housing solutions tailored for the homeless population or migrant labour residing in India’s villages.
All entries this year will be accepted online and will be evaluated by an expert panel of architects across a wide array of parameters. The last day of submission of entries is 31st January 2022.

The American Cement Association projects a nearly 1Mt annual increase in US cement demand over the next three years, driven by the surge in AI data centres. Consumption by data centres is expected to grow from 247,000 tonnes in 2025 to 860,000 tonnes by 2027. With over 5,400 AI data centres currently operating and numbers forecast to exceed 6,000 by 2027, the association cautions that regulatory hurdles and labour shortages may impact the industry’s ability to meet demand.
