How has CTM Technical Textiles Ltd advanced in geosynthetics production, and how do these products support infrastructure projects?

CTM Technical Textiles Ltd has a proud legacy spanning 54 years, built on a foundation of innovation, quality, and a commitment to excellence. Over the decades, we have evolved from a traditional textile company into a pioneering force in the field of technical textiles, providing specialized solutions across diverse industries.

Our journey took a transformative turn when we ventured into Agriculture Technical Textiles and Geosynthetics, identifying the need for advanced materials to solve real-world challenges. Recognizing the increasing demand for durable, eco-friendly, and high-performance solutions in infrastructure, we became one of the early adopters of geosynthetics in India.

For the past 12 years, we have been a leading manufacturer of PET Geogrids, a critical product used in infrastructure projects such as road reinforcement, railways, and retaining walls. Our geogrids are NHAI-recommended, MoRTH-specified, and BIS certified.

What makes CTM’s geosynthetic products stand out in terms of quality and reliability?

In an industry where cutting corners is common, we take immense pride in the fact that not a single one of our products has ever failed any site or laboratory test. This unmatched track record speaks volumes about the reliability and superior performance of our offerings.

Every Authority Engineer or Independent Consultant who has worked with our products can attest to their exceptional quality. We prioritize delivering top-of-the-line products, even if it means sacrificing short-term profits, because for us, goodwill and trust are paramount. This dedication to excellence and integrity is the cornerstone of our reputation in the industry.

Could you elaborate on the recent innovations or technologies that your company has introduced?

In line with the global shift toward advanced materials and sustainable solutions, we are proud to introduce a 4th generation Polypropylene Geogrid line. This state-of-the-art manufacturing capability, with a 6-meter width, is among the first of its kind in South and Southeast Asia, positioning us as a regional leader in geosynthetics innovation.

With governments emphasizing sustainable growth and advanced infrastructure, our pavement optimization grids are designed to meet the highest quality standards while enhancing efficiency and durability. We have a budget lined up of over half a million USD to put our grids through an extensive and lengthy testing and certification process which will position CTM as a caterer for countries and clients across the globe. These solutions not only support sustainable construction practices but also help our clients achieve cost optimization and long-term performance in their projects.

What challenges do you face in promoting the adoption of high-quality geosynthetics in infrastructure projects, and how does CTM address concerns about cost and material selection?

One of the biggest challenges in our industry is the tendency of some clients to opt for slightly cheaper products despite a marginal quality difference. Geosynthetics, unlike many other construction inputs, play a highly technical and critical role in infrastructure projects. These products are specified only after an extensive R&D process, ensuring they meet stringent performance requirements.

When substandard materials are used, the consequences can be severe. Not only does it risk the success of the project, but it can also tarnish the reputation of advanced materials as a whole, leading to poor adoption of innovative solutions.

At CTM, we emphasize educating clients and concessionaires on the importance of quality and its long-term impact. We actively engage with stakeholders to demonstrate how superior products ensure durability, safety, and cost-efficiency over the lifecycle of a project. By advocating for the right materials and practices, we aim to set higher benchmarks for the industry and promote the responsible adoption of geosynthetics.

How do you plan to drive growth and innovation in the geosynthetics sector over the next five years?

We are extremely bullish about the future and our role in shaping the industry. With strong business ties and an order book exceeding six months, we see significant untapped potential for growth. Over the next five years, we aim to achieve a CAGR of over 20%, driven primarily by our geosynthetics and new material-based developments (NMBD).

Our focus will be on offering technical service-based solutions tailored to meet client-specific demands. By combining innovation, quality, and customer-centricity, we are poised to lead the industry toward more sustainable, efficient, and advanced infrastructure solutions.

What key values and strengths should potential partners and customers expect when working with CTM Technical Textiles Ltd?

By working closely with our customers, we address their unique challenges and provide sustainable, cost-efficient solutions that deliver maximum value.
