RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT BY VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS - BMTPC
4
The Building Materials and Technology Promotion Council
(BMTPC) was setup in 1990 as an inter-ministerial apex
organisation to bridge the gap between laboratory
development and large scale field application of innovative
materials and technologies and to facilitate production of
materials on commercial scale.
Emphasis was laid on environmental protection through use
of wastes, energy conservation, development of substitute
materials for scarce materials like wood etc, disaster
resistant construction technologies, and consequent social
advantages of cost reduction, energy conservation and
sustainable development strategies.
Objectives
To promote development, production, standardisation and
large-scale application of cost-effective innovative building
materials and construction technologies in housing and
building sector.
To promote manufacturing of new waste-based building
materials and components through technical support,
facilitating fiscal concessions and encouraging entrepreneurs
to set up production units in different urban and rural regions.
To develop and promote methodologies and technologies for
natural disaster mitigation, vulnerability & risk reduction and
retrofitting/ reconstruction of buildings and disaster resistant
planning of human settlements.
To provide support to professionals, construction agencies and
entrepreneurs in selection, evaluation, upscaling, design
engineering, skill-upgradation, and marketing for technology
transfer from lab to land in the area of building materials and
construction.

The Scenario in India and the Role of BMTPC - From Lab to Land
Research institutions have developed a large number of
alternate materials and constructions systems, based on
utilisation of agro-industrial wastes which otherwise cause
severe environmental problems.
To improve the awareness about these innovative building
materials, and to facilitate their transfer from lab to land,
the Building Materials & Technology Promotion Council
(BMTPC) has been set up by the Government of India as an
inter-ministerial apex organisation, under the aegis of the
Ministry of Urban Affairs and Employment. The Council
co-ordinates with various institutions involved in R&D,
finance, industrial promotion and housing to promote
innovative technologies, scale up proven technologies,
materials and products and facilitate establishment of
manufacturing/production units.
BMTPC's working strategy:
Promotion of sound design practices based on local materials
and cost effective, innovative technologies.
Promotion of building materials, components, products and
systems based on indigenous raw materials, agro-industrial
wastes and cost and energy efficient processes.
Quality improvement and cost reduction through
standardisation and adoption of modern information and
management systems.
Technical, financial, and fiscal policy support to enhance
production and marketability.
CASE STUDY -
BMTPC has been promoting cost-effective and
environment-friendly building materials and construction
techniques in different regions of the country. During
recent past, the Council has been laying emphasis on
putting up demonstration structures utilising
region-specific technologies. Such efforts for
demonstrating innovative technologies have created a
much better impact and helped in building up
confidence and acceptability in private and public
construction agencies, professionals and contractors etc.
