Press Release

India Green Cement Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.85% through 2030

India Green Cement Market is expected to grow owing to growing awareness of sustainable construction practices in India throughout the forecast period.


According to TechSci Research report, “India Green Cement Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, India Green Cement Market was valued at USD 2.31 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 3.28 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 5.85% during the forecast period. 

The Indian green cement market has experienced significant growth, primarily driven by government initiatives and regulations aimed at reducing the environmental impact of the construction industry. These measures have become a pivotal driver in the transition towards sustainable and eco-friendly cement production. In recent years, the Indian government has recognized the urgent need to address environmental concerns, particularly in the construction sector, which accounts for a substantial share of the country's carbon emissions. To achieve this, various policies, incentives, and regulations have been implemented to promote the production and use of green cement. 

One such initiative is the adoption of stricter emission standards for cement manufacturing units, which necessitate the use of cleaner and more efficient technologies. Cement manufacturers are required to reduce their carbon footprint, water consumption, and energy usage, leading to increased research and investment in sustainable production methods. The government has also provided tax incentives and subsidies to companies that adopt environmentally friendly technologies, making it financially attractive for manufacturers to shift towards green cement production.

The Indian government's push for affordable and sustainable housing, as seen in the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) and the Housing for All program, promotes the use of green building materials, including green cement. By encouraging the construction industry to adopt sustainable practices, these initiatives contribute to the increasing demand for green cement in India. Overall, government initiatives and regulations play a central role in shaping the Indian green cement market by incentivizing and enforcing the adoption of more environmentally responsible production methods and materials, helping the country move toward a more sustainable and eco-conscious construction sector.

Based on end user, the Residential segment dominated the market in 2024. Green cement reduces carbon emissions and energy consumption during production, making it a more sustainable choice. It offers improved durability and strength in construction, which is essential for residential buildings. Major cement manufacturers in India, such as UltraTech Cement, Ambuja Cements, Shree Cement, and ACC Limited, offer green cement products and promote their use in residential construction. Ongoing research and development in the industry aim to create more sustainable cement options, including carbon-capture technologies and alternative raw materials.  The residential segment of the green cement market is expected to grow as more homebuyers and developers prioritize sustainable and eco-friendly construction. Green building certifications, like LEED and GRIHA, will play a significant role in promoting the use of green cement in residential projects. Government initiatives to promote sustainable construction practices and reduce carbon emissions will drive the adoption of green cement in residential construction. Environmental regulations and sustainability norms are becoming more stringent in India.

As a result, residential construction projects are increasingly required to use eco-friendly building materials, including green cement. Rising environmental consciousness among consumers and builders is a major driver for the use of green cement in residential projects. Increasing government emphasis on sustainable construction, such as Green Building Certification systems (e.g., IGBC, GRIHA), is encouraging the adoption of green cement. Various types of green cement are available in the market, including Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), blended cement, and high-performance cement. Residential projects typically use PPC due to its environmental benefits and cost-effectiveness. In conclusion, the residential segment of the India Green Cement Market is poised for growth, driven by environmental regulations, increasing awareness, and government incentives. As sustainability becomes a more significant focus in the construction industry, green cement will likely play a crucial role in shaping the future of residential infrastructure in India.

Based on region, North India is emerging as the fastest-growing region in the India Green Cement Market due to several key factors driving the demand for sustainable construction materials in this area. The region’s rapid urbanization and infrastructure development are major contributors. States like Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Delhi are witnessing massive construction projects, including residential, commercial, and industrial developments. This increasing demand for construction materials has created an opportunity for green cement, as builders and developers look for environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional cement, which has a higher carbon footprint.

Government initiatives in North India are playing a pivotal role. The Indian government has been actively promoting sustainable construction practices through various policies and incentives. Additionally, regional governments have set ambitious goals for reducing carbon emissions and enhancing environmental sustainability. These policies encourage the adoption of green cement, as it aligns with the objectives of reducing the overall environmental impact of construction projects. Green cement’s ability to lower CO2 emissions compared to traditional cement makes it an attractive option in this context. The availability of raw materials like fly ash in North India is a significant advantage. The region hosts numerous coal-fired power plants, which produce large amounts of fly ash, a key component in the production of green cement. This makes the manufacturing process more cost-effective and sustainable in the region. The utilization of fly ash in cement production also helps address waste management challenges, further contributing to the region’s shift toward greener practices.
