Interarch to Boost Capacity with Phase 2 Expansion in Andhra Pradesh and Kichha Plant Upgrade, Enhances R&D Efforts.

Interarch Building Products Limited (BSE Code: 544232, NSE: INTERARCH), a leader in the Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB) and steel structure industry, has announced the commencement of Phase 2 construction at its South India manufacturing facility in Andhra Pradesh. This expansion follows the successful ramp-up of Phase 1 in September 2024 and is expected to be operational by April 2025. Phase 2 will replicate the capacity of Phase 1, further strengthening Interarch’s production capabilities in the region.

In addition to the Andhra Pradesh expansion, Interarch is also upgrading its North India manufacturing facility in Kichha, Uttarakhand. This marks the second-largest expansion for the Kichha plant since its 2021 upgrade. The enhancement will enable the plant to handle multi-story buildings and heavy steel structures, adding 20,000 metric tons of capacity. This upgrade will play a key role in supporting Interarch’s growing presence in the Indian market.

With both expansions slated for completion by April 2025, Interarch’s total installed capacity is expected to exceed 200,000 metric tons annually.

Interarch is also launching a dedicated Research and Development (R&D) and Innovation Centre in Chennai, aimed at advancing engineering design and manufacturing efficiencies. Led by Engr. M. Rajan, a highly experienced structural engineer, the centre will focus on providing value-engineered solutions for heavy industries, high-rise structures, commercial buildings, and data centres. The R&D centre’s goal is to reduce project timelines by up to 30% and enhance the capabilities of Interarch’s engineering teams across India.

Commenting on the developments, Mr. Arvind Nanda, Managing Director of Interarch Building Products Ltd., said, "The Phase 2 expansion and Kichha plant upgrade are critical milestones in our growth journey, positioning us to meet the increasing demand for high-quality sustainable building solutions. Our aim for 2025 is to surpass an installed capacity of 200,000 metric tons annually."

Mr. Gautam Suri, Whole Time Director of Interarch, added, "The launch of our R&D and Innovation Centre in Chennai demonstrates our commitment to innovation. We are focused on delivering cutting-edge solutions for industries such as heavy industries, high-rise buildings, and data centres, setting new standards in the PEB sector."
