BigBloc Construction, incorporated in 2015, is India’s largest and only listed manufacturer of Aerated Autoclaved Concrete (AAC) blocks, with an annual production capacity of 1.3 million CBM. Its manufacturing footprint spans plants in Gujarat (Kheda, Umargaon, Kapadvanj) and Maharashtra (Wada). In FY25, the company reported revenue from operations of Rs 2.246 billion.

StarBigBloc Building Material currently operates a plant in Kheda, near Ahmedabad, with an installed capacity of 250,000 cubic metres per annum. This facility caters to the Gujarat market and extends its services to Udaipur in Rajasthan and Indore in Madhya Pradesh.

In May 2024, StarBigBloc’s Board had approved raising funds via an SME IPO or preferential issue, subject to approvals and market conditions.
