Scaling Clean Bricks: Policy, Technology and Finance in India’s Brick MSME sector

Date: 21 July 2026
Time: 15:00-17:00 Hrs (IST)

Background:

India’s brick manufacturing sector is one of the country’s largest traditional MSME industries, employing millions of workers across rural and peri-urban areas and playing a critical role in supporting infrastructure development, affordable housing, and construction activities. Despite its economic significance, the sector remains among the most energy- and emissions-intensive MSME segments due to its long-standing dependence on coal-fired systems and conventional kiln technologies.

On the occasion of World MSME Day, the Alliance for an Energy Efficient Economy (AEEE) invites you to join its upcoming webinar on scaling technology transition and decarbonisation in India’s brick manufacturing sector.

The discussion will bring together diverse stakeholders to explore pathways to accelerate the adoption of cleaner kiln technologies, strengthen compliance, unlock finance, and scale successful cluster-level interventions across Uttar Pradesh and beyond.

Why Attend:

  • Learn from AEEE’s experience in supporting technology transition and decarbonisation across brick kiln clusters in Uttar Pradesh.
  • Understand policy developments, implementation requirements under GSR 143(E), and opportunities for state-wide scale-up.
  • Explore the business, quality, and procurement case for low-carbon bricks in the construction sector.
  • Gain insights into financing mechanisms, blended finance approaches, and de-risking instruments for kiln modernisation.
  • Understand the financial viability and bankability of technology upgradation projects.
  • Identify partnership and co-investment opportunities to accelerate sector-wide transformation.

Who Can Participate:

  • Government officials and policymakers
  • Brick kiln owners and industry associations
  • Building sector professionals, architects, and developers
  • Financial institutions and climate finance organisations
  • Technology providers and technical experts
  • Development agencies, funders, and implementation partners
