Indian Brick Industry
Sr No.
Parameter 2013-15 study*
1 Number of brick kilns** 190,000- 280,000
Clamp kiln 147,000 - 232,000
BTK 42,000 - 47,000
Others 500 -1000
2 Annual brick production (billion) 220 - 280
3 Annual coal consumption (million tonnes) 29 - 35
4 Annual biomass consumption (million tonnes) 12 - 16
5 Annual top soil consumption (million m3) 400 - 500
6 Annual water consumption (million m3) 200 - 235
*The estimate of number of clamp kilns in operation can vary significantly depending upon the market demand. Clamp kilns are not registered and are not members of any industry associations.

Energy Efficiency Improvements in Indian Brick
IndustryGoal• To reduce energy consumption, and restrict GHG emissions by
creating appropriate infrastructure for sustained adoption of
new and improved technologies for production and use of
resource efficient bricks in India
Outcomes• Enhancing public sector awareness on resource-efficient
products
• Access to finance for brick kiln entrepreneurs
• Improved knowledge on technology, including marketing
• Availability of resource-efficient technology models in 5
clusters through Local Resource Centres
• Improved capacity of brick kiln entrepreneurs04/12/2015
Enhancing Public Sector Awareness
Access to finance Improved knowledge on technology
Availability of resource efficient technologies
Improved capacity of brick kiln entrepreneurs
• Short video film on “Construction practices with REBs”
• Report on structural stability using REBs (IIT-Roorkee)
• Test results of physical properties of REBs
• 2 DPR for Southern region.
• 3 DPR for Northern region
• Report on ‘Barriers to options for accessing finance’ by brick kiln entrepreneurs
• Report on benefits of using REBs
• Web based construction manual
• Manual on better construction practices with REBs under preparation
• Approach paper on REBs
• Suitability of soil for REB production (NIIST)
• Technology profile of brick production (IZF Brick and Tile Research Institute, Essen, Germany)
• Brochure highlighting project details and benefits of producing and using REBs • Video film on
mason training program • Project web-site (

18/05/2015
• MGNREGA
– labour shortage
• Increased awareness on energy and environment issues
– Switching over to mechanisation
– Adoption of alternate walling
materials
– Changing buyer expectations
• Increasing fuel prices
– Adoption of best practices
– Use of locally available fuel and
increased use of agricultural residue
• Entry of multinational brick manufacturers/ technology suppliers
Drivers for Change
04/12/2015
Future Scenario
Brick industry (in the vicinity of urban areas) is expected to undergo a major transition
• Upgradation in process technology
• Moulding (semi-mechanized)
• Drying (under shed, artificial)
Firing (better annular kilns, tunnel kilns)
Large capital investments
Organised, permanent, year-round operation
Diversification of products
Partial substitution of manual labour with mechanical power/electricity
04/12/2015
Product Diversification
Production of Resource Efficient Bricks (REBs)
• Perforated Bricks
• Hollow Blocks
Relevant IS Codes: IS 2222 : 1991 – Specifications for burnt clay perforated
building bricks
IS 3952 : 2013 – Specification for burnt clay hollow bricks for walls and partitions (Third revision)

Key Challenges
Lack of awareness among
Producers : brick kiln
entrepreneurs
Users: Architects, builders,
government construction
bodies
Present construction practices
Lack of technology suppliers
for mechanisation
Absence of local service
