A Remarkable Growth
Commercial Ready-mix Concrete is Prism RMC's core business. It aims in meeting the needs of metropolitan and suburban areas and making an unwavering contribution to the productive development of urban India. The company addresses a variety of concrete needs, from high-rise buildings to valued family homes, with solutions that are gently exposed to the toughest offshore tasks and the jumbo strength needed for the prestigious infrastructure and industrial projects needed. And meet the soft and aesthetic requirements for performance. Prism RMC's state-of-the-art facility is an ensemble with a strong commitment to service. From meeting local governments and environmental standards to constantly bravely confronting endless traffic mazes, it's a recurring miracle that a company's concrete-laden truck mixer arrives at the customer's site on time each time. Prism RMC has the coveted NABL certification at four major laboratories in Bangalore, Gurgaon, Chennai, and Mumbai.
In 2020, the ready-mixed concrete (RMC) industry was severely affected by the disruption of infrastructure development and real estate activities by COVID19. Construction activities have completely ceased due to the national blockade, and the issue of labour migration has exacerbated the situation in 2020-21. However, as the economy resumes and companies slowly return to normal, the RMC industry expects demand from the real estate and infrastructure segments to recover. India still has a long way to go to adopt RMC. In addition, the RMC sector is fragmented, with unorganized players holding about 50% of the market share, but there are ample growth opportunities. Demand for RMC is expected to benefit from a turnaround in consumer sentiment.
