From the President’s Desk

Dear Members of ICI,
Happy New Year to you all. The dawn of the year 2016 brings with it
new possibilities and new challenges for the construction industry
in India as well as for the Indian Concrete Institute. The Smart Cities
and AMRUT Cities will invite an investment of Rs. 2 trillion in the
next five years. The demand for cement, which is in turn an
indicator of the demand for concrete, is steadily increasing and is
expected to be in the range of 600 million tonnes per annum by 2025. With more than
67% percent of the cement demand coming from the housing sector, the maximum
consumption of mortar and concrete happen here.
Hand Book on ‘Advanced
One of the areas of concern is the avoidable wastage of construction materials
including mortar and concrete. Woefully the most wasted material during Concrete Technology’ authored
construction operation is mortar from plastering/rendering. A survey indicated that by more than 25 Eminent Experts

It is imperative for every one of us to spend quality time in ensuring avoidance of
wastage of precious resources. We can then build more with the same resources.
Suggestions are invited from you as to how ICI can, as an institution chip in.
