Funding marks a pioneering backing in this sustainable construction segment in India from a leading global climate focused Fund

EPACK Prefab, one of India’s leading turnkey solution providers for pre-engineered building (PEB), pre-fabricated modular structures and insulation products, today announced raising USD 20 million in its first funding round from GEF Capital Partners, a leading global private equity fund.

The funding supports EPACK Prefab’s commitment to sustainability in the modular construction sector. These technologies entail significantly lower carbon footprint than traditional construction on account of higher design efficiency, minimal wastage and recyclable nature of materials.

Additionally, the funds will be directed toward enhancing research and development initiatives aimed at creating energy-efficient, prefabricated construction technologies. 

EPACK Prefab has set a new industry benchmark by constructing India's fastest building in just 150 hours, showcasing the power of prefabricated construction. Having already delivered thousands of projects, EPACK has developed strong brand equity in the industry through its design and engineering capabilities, high-quality manufacturing, timely execution, and project management expertise. The Company also plans to expand its market presence across India and explore opportunities in international markets, further cementing its position as a pioneer in the PEB sector. 

Commenting on the first round of funding, Mr. Sanjay Singhania, Managing Director of EPACK Prefab, said, "This funding is a testament to our vision and the capabilities of Prefabrication and PEB technologies. It strengthens our resolve to revolutionise construction practices by delivering innovative, sustainable, and rapid building solutions. This milestone energises us to set new benchmarks for the industry."
