Nova
Formworks brings India’s No. 1 Plastic Formwork System to the world stage at
The Big 5 Global 2025, Dubai.
Nova
Formworks redefined construction in India with its modular plastic formwork
system - a proven technology for sustainable, efficient, and people-first
building. Beyond traditional structures, our lightweight, non-toxic, and
sustainable panels are the engineering tool of choice for Global infrastructure,
including Tunnels, WTPs, STPs, Water Tanks, Underpasses, and Defence Bunkers.
Hear it all from Nova’s Chief Managing Director.
“Innovation
doesn’t end with invention it begins with every challenge we solve.”
Q. What does Nova’s debut signifies at The Big 5 Global
represent?
It’s
more than a participation - it’s representation. We’re bringing India’s
innovation to a global platform that celebrates progress and collaboration.
Nova Plastic Formworks was born from a simple problem: construction was delayed
with no sustainability. We saw the damage caused by plywood and steel
shuttering - material waste, high labor dependency, and poor quality finishes -
and decided to engineer a better solution.
That
idea evolved into India’s first patented modular plastic formwork system, now
deployed in 1,500+ projects. Participating in The Big 5 Global is a moment of
pride - it’s where our journey meets the world’s curiosity for smarter
construction.
How does Nova blend innovation with on-site simplicity?
At
Nova, technology is not a buzzword - it’s a bridge. We’ve always believed that
the true measure of innovation is not how advanced it is, but how accessible it
becomes.
We’ve
integrated design tools, Nova Welding Robots, and 3D digital modeling to ensure
that every panel we produce is accurate, durable, and ready to perform. But
beyond that, technology helps us simplify - it reduces manual dependency,
enhances worker safety, and improves on-site efficiency.
We
want technology to feel invisible - something that supports builders, not
overwhelms them. When our clients can assemble a complex structure
effortlessly, that’s when we know technology is doing its real job.
How is Nova driving sustainable change in construction?
Sustainability
isn’t a separate goal for us - it’s built into everything we design and
produce. By replacing plywood, we cut deforestation, reduce site waste, and
lower carbon emissions - helping builders move closer to their ESG targets with
every pour.
We’ve
also transformed our own operations through solar-powered manufacturing and
zero-waste production, ensuring that our processes reflect the same eco-values
as our products. Nova’s sustainability goes beyond materials - it’s about performance
that protects the environment too.
In
WTPs, STPs, and large water tank projects, our leakproof, seamless joint design
and lightweight panels have delivered precision casting with zero seepage and
minimal energy use. For us, sustainable transformation isn’t about less harm -
it’s about creating , recyclable, smarter, cleaner systems that give more back
to the planet than they take.
What makes Nova Formworks a resilient force in
construction?
For
us, resilience means performing reliably under any condition. Our modular
plastic formwork delivers consistent quality and speed across every project -
from urban towers to remote terrains. When we supplied box culverts and bunker
formworks in Leh, Ladakh, and Kashmir, resilience took on a new meaning. With just
six workable months in extreme winters, traditional steel formwork was too
heavy and time-consuming. Nova’s lightweight, weather-resistant plastic panels
replaced steel formworks, enabling faster setup, superior finish, and on-time
completion - even in extremely cold conditions.
That’s
resilience in action - systems that don’t just endure the elements but turn
challenges into performance advantages.
How is Nova shaping the next generation of builders?
We’ve
always believed that the true foundation of construction is people. A product
is only as powerful as the hands that use it.
That’s
why we design our systems for simplicity - panels that can be assembled without
high-skill labor, saving both time and effort. We train thousands of workers
on-site through demonstration projects, tutorials, and practical guidance. And
through this process, something beautiful happens - people who once doubted
their abilities start building with confidence and pride.
Empowerment,
for us, isn’t limited to the construction site. It extends to how we treat our
workforce through safety programs and welfare initiatives.
We
don’t just manufacture panels, we nurture people who can build the future with
us.
With the growing conversation around safety and workforce
well-being, how isNova contributing to safer construction practices?
Safety
isn’t an afterthought; it’s engineered into the product. Our panels are
lightweight, non-toxic, and smooth-edged, eliminating the risks of injuries,
cuts, and handling fatigue common with steel and timber systems. We’ve also
adopted strict HSE frameworks across our manufacturing units - from daily
toolbox talks to mandatory PPE compliance.
Every Nova innovation must pass one test first - “Is it safer for the person using it?” If the answer isn’t yes, it doesn’t leave the factory.
What message would you give to global visitors meeting
Nova for the first time at The Big 5 Global 2025?
Come
experience what “Made in India” truly stands for today - innovation that’s
intelligent, inclusive, and inspired. Our panels don’t just build walls; they
build trust. We invite everyone to see how a simple idea from India is shaping
a global movement for smarter, faster, greener construction.
Closing Note
As
The Big 5 Global 2025 world construction leaders have united, Nova Formworks
brings a message from India: build smart, build sustainable, and build with
heart. From Innovation to R&D, plastic to people, Nova is leading the
transformation of strong projects, amazing partnership, and sustainable
development. Experience the system that’s changing the language of construction
- engineered for efficiency, designed for the world.
