Construction industry is growing rapidly in India. The growing construction industry is also boosting the demand for building materials. There are huge demand for precast concrete building materials including paver blocks, tiles and kerb stones etc. Concrete Paver Blocks and Tiles are construction materials used for laying pavements, walkways, car parks, garages, ports, petrol pumps, gardens, passenger waiting sheds, bus-stops, industry and other public places. These are pre-cast solid products made out of cement concrete. The term precast refers to the fact that the blocks are formed and hardened before they are brought to the job site. It can withstand compression and are also water resistant. They are available in various sizes, shapes, colours and strength grades (concrete mix) depending on the utility and aesthetic requirements. Some specific designs like the I-shaped 60mm thick paver block and Zig-Zag shaped 80mm thick paver block are always in demand in the market due to their interlocking properties (does not need binder) and load bearing properties.

Sand, gravel, pebbles and cement are the basic raw materials for making precast concrete pavers. These are high density materials similar to natural stones. With the application of colours and the use of moulds, the beauty of natural stone pavers can be replicated. The demand for such tiles and blocks is generally from urban and semi urban areas as such the unit manufacturing the product should be accordingly located. Hence, the unit may be set up in urban and semi-urban areas, near to the market.
