As a country, India is seen as one of the global powerhouses of the future with its large, growing and youthful population, and massive infrastructural plans. Furthermore, the ‘Make in India’ push also promises to step up manufacturing construction.

Even in developed areas, the speed and flexibility PEBs offer is being recognized. As the mindset changes, demand for PEBs is bound to follow.
