ARIS and Capacité Infraprojects Enter a Five-Year Partnership

ARISINFRA SOLUTIONS LIMITED and Capacité Infraprojects Limited, one of India's leading construction contractors, have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the procurement of construction materials worth ₹800 Crore over five years through the ARIS platform. To our knowledge, this is one of the first long-term, formally structured procurement commitments of its kind in the Indian construction industry.

The partnership formalises and scales a proven relationship. The two companies have already transacted over ₹600 Crore in construction materials across 15+ project sites, spanning over 100 material SKUs in stone aggregates, ready-mix concrete, steel, electricals, plumbing, and other construction materials, supported by a vendor network of 500+ suppliers on the ARIS platform. Under the MoU, Capacité Infraprojects formally locks in its procurement onto the ARIS platform on a structured, multi-year basis.

"India's construction materials industry has operated almost entirely on spot transactions, no forward commitments, no visibility, on either side of the chain. Long-term structured arrangements of this nature, where a contractor formally locks in its procurement onto a technology platform for a defined, multi-year period, are to our knowledge not a feature of this industry. We have been doing the same on the supply side, securing manufacturing capacity on a long-term basis without owning assets. This is one of the first such arrangements on the demand side, and several more are in the pipeline. What we are building is an operating layer that gets more valuable as it scales, for contractors, for manufacturers, and for the business." - Ronak Morbia, Chairman & Managing Director ARISINFRA SOLUTIONS LIMITED.

REWRITING THE RULES OF CONSTRUCTION PROCUREMENT

India's construction industry has long been defined by the informality of its supply chains, fragmented, opaque, and transactional. Material procurement has historically been a site-by-site, day-by-day exercise with no price visibility, no supply guarantees, and no technology backbone.

The ARIS platform functions as an operating layer for the construction industry: a technology-enabled system through which contractors and developers access end-toend materials supply, supply chain infrastructure, and execution capabilities across categories, sites, and geographies. On the supply side, the Company has been securing manufacturing capacity on a long-term basis without owning assets. The MoU with 0Capacité Infraprojects represents the same discipline applied to the demand side, the formal, structured, multi-year commitment of a major contractor's procurement of stone aggregates, ready-mix concrete, steel, electricals, plumbing, and other construction materials onto a single platform.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE INDUSTRY

Construction materials procurement in India has been one of the last major industry segments to remain untouched by the discipline of long-term contractual commitment. Contractors have historically preferred spot flexibility, and suppliers have had little confidence in forward demand commitments that would hold.

ARIS's model addresses this directly: by aggregating demand across a network of contractors and deploying a technology platform to manage fulfilment, the Company creates the trust infrastructure that long-term commitments require.

The Company has indicated that several more demand-side structured arrangements are in the pipeline, pointing to the emergence of a new category of supply chain infrastructure in Indian construction.
