Kolkata, August 18, 2025 : Aludecor, one of India’s most
celebrated names in architectural cladding and façades, has announced its bold
entry into the metal ceilings market, unveiling a first-of-its-kind backward
integration from coil coating to finished ceiling systems. With this move, the
company has extended its leadership in façades to interiors, becoming one of
the very few Indian brands to offer a seamless façade-to-ceiling solution for
architects, developers, and corporates.
The new ceiling line joins Aludecor’s established
portfolio of Metal Composite
Panels, Honeycomb Panels, and Alubreeze
Sun-Louvers, creating what the brand calls a “full-stack envelope-to-interior
ecosystem”—one that places quality, finish, and performance at the heart of
modern construction.
With three advanced manufacturing units in Haridwar and
one of India’s largest in-house coil-coating capacities, Aludecor’s ceiling
panels and planks will be crafted on the same roller-coating lines used for its
world-class façade systems. This ensures flawless colour consistency between
façades, soffits, and ceilings, ensuring superior surface finish and
durability, and faster, made-in-India supply chains that reduce import
dependency.
The company’s strategic entry comes at a time when the
global metal ceilings market, valued at USD 8.55 billion in 2023, is projected
to expand to USD 14.68 billion by 2032. In India, specifications have long been
dominated by multinational players, an imbalance Aludecor now intends to
correct through domestic innovation, cost efficiency, and service reliability.
Ashok Kumar Bhaiya, Founder and CMD, Aludecor, positioned
the launch as a transformative step and stated “India’s building boom
deserves globally benchmarked products that are also proudly made in India. By
bringing coil-to-ceiling manufacturing under one roof, we eliminate import
friction, compress lead times, and give architects one harmonized palette from
façade to interior. This is not just a line extension, it’s a strategic
backbone for the next decade of Indian real estate.”
Further augmented by Saurav Kabra, Director,
Aludecor, “Specifiers have long demanded colour-matched façades and
ceilings, reliable acoustic performance, and faster project servicing. With our
backward integration and national sales network, Aludecor will now compete
head-on with global incumbents, by delivering speed, consistency, and value
while aligning with India’s green-building momentum.”
Aludecor’s Metal ceiling Panels are roller-coated
in-house, ensuring exact colour and finish matches with ACP/MCP façades and
soffits vital for corporate rollouts, tech campuses, healthcare, and transit
hubs. With perforations and acoustic backers, Aludecor ceilings can meet high
NRC ratings, offering solutions tailored for offices, retail, education, and
healthcare segments where global leaders have historically set the benchmarks.
Modular ceiling systems are designed for rapid installation, convenient access,
and long-term serviceability supported by Aludecor’s pan-India technical teams.
The launch follows the July debut of Alubreeze, India’s
first home-grown, roller-coated metal sun-louver system, available in preset
angles of 30°, 45°, and 90°. External research shows that optimized shading can
reduce building operational energy significantly, making it a critical lever
for India’s net-zero ambitions.
Aludecor’s proven track record in fire-retardant ACP Sheets underscores the same rigor applied to its new ceiling
systems. Its Firewall range holds Factory Production Control (FPC)
certification from Emirates Safety Laboratory (ESL), Dubai, covering EN 13501-1
classifications A2-s1,d0 and B-s1,d0—international benchmarks that reflect the
company’s commitment to stringent quality and safety.
