Cellular Lightweight Concrete at Scale for Affordable Housing
Location: Maharashtra, India | Capacity: 250 m³/day | Plant Type: CLC Block Plant | Year: 2021
A Maharashtra-based developer needed reliable Indian-made CLC block production for an affordable housing project under PMAY. Maruti delivered a 250 m³/day CLC plant from feasibility through commissioning in under 90 days.
The developer was procuring CLC blocks from external suppliers at inconsistent quality and price. They needed to bring production in-house to control costs for a PMAY-funded affordable housing project. The brief required a compact plant footprint on a 1-acre site, CLC mix design for BIS Grade D0.6 (600 kg/m³), and production start within 90 days of order.
Maruti Hydraulics supplied a complete CLC block plant including high-output foam generators, slurry batching system with automated water-cement ratio control, casting moulds, and an on-site curing yard system. The plant layout was engineered for the constrained 1-acre site with a linear flow from mixing to curing without cross-traffic. Mix design was validated at the Nashik facility before dispatch for consistent D0.6 grade output.
Commercial production of CLC blocks commenced within 87 days of order. The plant produces IS 2185 Part-4 compliant D0.6 grade blocks used across the PMAY housing project. In-house production reduced per-block cost by approximately 22% versus external procurement, improving project margins for the developer.
