How can clay bricks keep pace with other material like glass in modern design and architecture?
Clay bricks blend very nicely with other building materials like aluminium and glass. From a green building point of view, glass is not the ideal building material for this country. India is a very hot country, so you should not have glass facades. It is only a matter of time when the long-term investor realises that glass is a big disadvantage, especially when somebody else is buying the building. Will you export made-in-India products to other countries, say, in South Asia? Yes, to South Asia. For instance, we are already doing a market study to produce ArGeTon in India. We would locate (the plant) in a region from where we can export it to the Middle East. Sri Lanka is also a natural place to export to. It would be interesting to set up a plant close to port area and then export to Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore.
