KEF Infra One to be the world’s largest facility of its kind with a total area of one million square feet

Commenting on the launch of KEF Infra One, Faizal E. Kottikollon, Chairman, KEF Holdings said, "Today, India is at the cusp of growth led by innovation and we are pioneering an age where technology is being effectively integrated into infrastructure, thus heralding industrial revolution 4.0.

"Our aim is to fast forward this progress by radically changing the landscape of infrastructure in India. Offsite manufacturing of infrastructure reduces delivery time by up to two-thirds, thereby speeding up the construction process. At KEF Infra, we challenge conventional building methods and move the industry towards an efficient, and automated platform. The launch of KEF Infra One is a step towards our vision of pushing forth the next phase of India's growth through world class infrastructure and we are proud to present this to the world."

The chief guest said "India has always been on the path of development, and with the advent of technology has witnessed exponential growth. However, every sector that contributes to India's progress is supported by Infrastructure that is future ready. This is where KEF Infra is a true pioneer and is helping shape the future of the infrastructure industry as well as the future of the country."

Sharing his insights on the current and upcoming projects, Sumesh Sachar, CEO, KEF Infra said, "KEF Infra One is designed to deliver high-quality offsite manufacturing solutions for hospitals, schools, hotels & homes, covering the entire spectrum of building requirements - from design to structure to bathroom pods to façade and fit-out.

"Through this integrated and technologically advanced industrial park, we are aiming to upskill workers and create a sustainable co-dependency between man and machine. This will also bridge the gap of cost, time, resource and quality for our customers, issues that presently constrain the Indian infrastructure sector at large."

In the future, KEF Infra aims to leverage its success in India to the UAE market, and export the nation's global vision of innovation and technology-led development to markets such as Middle East & Africa, to specifically address the sustainable construction demands in the region.
