Neeraj Agarwal, Managing Director, Duroplast India
Over the past decade, the Indian uPVC fenestration industry has evolved remarkably, driven by quality improvement, awareness, and performance standards. The introduction of Indian Standards (IS) has been a game-changer, significantly enhancing quality and acceptance across the market.
While the market hasn’t doubled as often as perceived, it continues to grow steadily at a rate of around 7–8% CAGR, with strong adoption now coming from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. The focus of specifiers and institutions has also shifted from basic profile testing to comprehensive window performance testing, including sound insulation, structural performance, and air and water tightness, marking a new era of quality-driven demand.
The expansion in profile variety by manufacturers has added design flexibility, and as we advance, standardisation of window and door sizes will further streamline the industry. Moreover, government support through safeguard or anti-dumping duties on low-quality imports will be crucial in maintaining driving, sustained, high-quality growth by 2030.

Nikhil Parasuraman, Managing Director – India & SAARC Region, SE Controls India
Over the past decade, the façade and fenestration industry has seen notable advancements, especially in smart façades and technologies in glass, with dynamic façade systems becoming increasingly prominent. BIM has also entered the picture, although it is still not fully implemented in Indian projects. Sustainability has taken the front seat and will continue to remain a primary focus for the near future. Additionally, automatic vents for smoke and natural ventilation have progressed, and this life-safety aspect is expected to become the norm going forward.
By 2030, rapid urbanisation will lead to the modernisation of Tier II and III cities, resulting in major market expansion. The Indian façade market is projected to reach USD 3.5–5.5 billion, and new cities will take shape. Façades will become smart and sustainable, with fully tech-enabled systems and more net-zero projects. Different verticals within the industry will work closely together to build better and safer environments, leading to compliant design practices. Digital twins are also expected to become an industry standard.

Amir Hashmi, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, Profine India Window Technology
Over the past decade, the Indian fenestration industry has witnessed a major transformation driven by rapid urbanisation, evolving architectural trends, and growing awareness around energy efficiency and sustainability. The shift from conventional materials to modern, high-performance systems has redefined how homes and buildings are designed. To cater to these ever-evolving industry trends, we began our Koemmerling India journey by setting up an extrusion facility for uPVC window & door profiles in 2013, setting new standards in quality, durability, and innovation. Recognising the growing demand for versatile and high-performance solutions, in 2017, we diversified into aluminium window & door systems, offering advanced solutions for contemporary architecture. Through EFP International, our façade solutions bring world-class engineering to India. Our portfolio further grew with KömaBoard, a premium range of PVC and WPC sheets. With a focus on German engineering, innovation, and sustainability, Koemmerling is well-positioned to lead the industry’s next phase of growth towards 2030 and beyond.
Manish Bansal, CEO & Director, Window Magic
Over the past decade, the window and façade industry has undergone a paradigm shift driven by innovation, sustainability, and design precision. Moving beyond traditional systems, the sector now embraces high-performance, energy-efficient, and aesthetically advanced solutions that define contemporary architecture. At Window Magic, we have led this transformation through smarter materials, automation, and environmentally responsible manufacturing practices.
A key development accelerating this progress has been the adoption of aluminium formwork in modern construction. This technology enables faster floor-to-floor cycles, often within 5-7 days, while delivering exceptional structural accuracy and surface finish. The result is a smoother, more precise building envelope that reduces finishing work and improves installation accuracy for windows and façades. Reusable for up to 200- 300 cycles, aluminium formwork also minimizes material waste and supports the industry’s sustainability goals. By and large, the fenestration sector has greatly benefited from this synergy between formwork innovation and façade design. Enhanced precision in structural openings allows for better coordination, reduced on-site adjustments, and quicker project delivery. As construction timelines shrink, façade and window systems can be integrated earlier, driving both efficiency and quality.
Looking ahead to 2030, the industry will be defined by intelligent façades, seamless technological integration, and greater customization aligned with global design trends. India’s window industry is no longer following the world; it is shaping the next chapter of global innovation, where speed, sustainability, and design excellence converge.
Parul Mittal, Director, Greenlam Industries Ltd
Over the past decade, the façade and fenestration industry has undergone a significant transformation. What was once primarily focused on aesthetics has now evolved into high-performance solutions that seamlessly integrate design, durability, energy efficiency, and occupant comfort. Materials such as high-pressure laminates (HPL) offer UV resistance, thermal insulation, and protection against extreme weather, enabling façades that are both visually striking and highly functional.
Sustainability has become a central driver of innovation. At Greenlam Industries, we prioritise the use of recycled materials, renewable energy, and FSC®-certified products, while minimising VOCs to ensure healthier indoor environments and a reduced carbon footprint. Regulatory developments and green building certifications such as LEED, WELL, and GRIHA have further accelerated innovation, while fire-safety standards are driving the adoption of non-combustible, high-performance façade materials.
Technology is increasingly shaping the industry’s future. Robotics, automation, and digital façade solutions are enabling faster, more precise project execution, while close collaboration between architects, façade consultants, and technology partners allows for the development of intelligent, data-driven designs that enhance both performance and aesthetics. Hybrid material systems combining HPL, ceramics, and other materials are further expanding the possibilities for strength, resilience, and design flexibility.
Looking ahead to 2030, the global façade market is expected to grow significantly, fuelled by rapid urbanisation, green building mandates, and premium-value projects. We foresee a continued shift towards sustainable, human-centric, and technology-integrated façades, reflecting a clear convergence of aesthetics, functionality, and environmental responsibility — a direction that will define the next era of building design.
