PPC (Portland Pozzolana Cement) is the most versatile cement type available today. It contains fly ash which gives it several advantages: better workability, lower heat of hydration, and superior resistance to sulphate and chloride attack.
For construction in Mumbai, PPC is an excellent choice for everything from foundations to plastering. Its resistance to chemical attack makes it particularly suitable for construction near the coast, in marshy areas, and in locations with high water table. Many areas in Navi Mumbai, Panvel, and Uran have such conditions.
PPC develops strength more slowly than OPC 53 in the first 7 days, but catches up and often exceeds OPC 53 strength at 28 days and beyond. The only downside is slower early strength, which means you may need to keep formwork a day or two longer. For most residential projects, this is not a significant concern.
Andheri is one of the most active construction zones in Mumbai with both residential redevelopment and commercial projects. The Andheri East micro-market sees significant office and IT park development, while Andheri West has multiple SRA and cluster redevelopment projects. The Lokhandwala and Versova belt continues to see new high-rise residential towers.
