According to industry estimates, the current size of chequered sheet market in India is 2,00,000 tons annually and is growing at an annual rate of 8%.

With applications ranging from the flooring of factories and plants, automobile (bus and trucks) steps and floors, railway track bridges, architectural stairs and flooring etc, Infinity is expected to both create a market for itself and replace alternate materials in this segment.”
