Partnership with IIT Madras TLC2


Platinum Sponsor & Consortium Member / R&D Partner

TLC2 (Technologies for Low‑Carbon & Lean Construction) is a Centre of Excellence at IIT Madras that develops low‑carbon and lean construction technologies to minimize waste across the construction value chain, and to guide implementation through organizational and policy pathways. Asian Paints supports TLC2 as a Platinum Sponsor and contributes as a Consortium Member / R&D Partner through active project mentorship in crack repair guidelines, recycled aggregate concrete, and early-age strength acceleration for high‑SCM precast applications

Operational Wins 

Early‑Age Crack Treatment: Toward Practical Repair Guidance

Early‑Age Crack Treatment: Toward Practical Repair Guidance

Advancing a structured, field-relevant approach to improve early‑age crack management in concrete. The collaboration focuses on building clearer decision pathways for repair timing and treatment selection, supporting more consistent outcomes and reduced risk of downstream durability issues in real construction conditions.

Recycled Aggregate Concrete: Circular Materials Enablement

Recycled Aggregate Concrete: Circular Materials Enablement

Supporting circular construction by strengthening the pathway for recycled inputs in concrete. The workstream emphasizes performance-led evaluation and adoption readiness, helping stakeholders make more confident choices when integrating C&D-derived materials—aligned to waste reduction goals and scalable implementation.

High‑SCM Concretes: Faster Precast Cycles, Controlled Performance

High‑SCM Concretes: Faster Precast Cycles, Controlled Performance

Enabling faster construction cycles by improving early‑age performance reliability in high‑SCM concrete systems relevant to precast workflows. The collaboration targets practical performance outcomes under production constraints—supporting speed, consistency, and predictable quality without exposing proprietary approaches or trial specifics.
