In India, the construction industry is witnessing a paradigm shift with the introduction of 3DCP technology. The country faces a pressing need for affordable housing and infrastructure development, making 3DCP an attractive solution. Several startups and established companies are exploring this technology, aiming to address the challenges of rapid urbanization and population growth.
Among Indian companies, AJAX Engineering stands out for its pioneering work in 3DCP. Being one of the prominent players in the Indian concrete equipment market, it has made significant strides in 3DCP. The company has developed its own 3D concrete printer, which was demonstrated in recently concluded Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, designed to create intricate structures with precision. This innovation allows for reduced material wastage and accelerated construction timelines, making it suitable for large-scale projects such as multi-story buildings and public infrastructure.
According to a press release, AJAX’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its focus on advanced concrete mixes, including recycled aggregates and fibre-reinforced options. The company is also exploring carbon-neutral processes and IoT-based monitoring systems to optimize construction and minimize environmental impact. By integrating hardware and software solutions, AJAX Engineering is setting a new benchmark in construction innovation.
