As of last year, the sand and aggregate market in India, driven mainly by the boom in urbanisation and infrastructure development, had approximately 4 billion tons in consumption demand, and Rs 2,90,000 Cr. in market size. The sand market is transforming and it is time for India’s first national sand brand, Doctorsand to stand up and deliver.
Doctorsand, a subsidiary of CDE Asia, provides a complete range of ethically-sourced sand and aggregate essential for the construction industry. Some of the top offerings are:

Mainly used for internal and external render, plastering and screeding. With the Fineness Modulus not less than 1.4, it creates a smooth and even finish that can be used for filling cracks
- Stone dust VSI:
Crushed stone sand less than 4.75mm particles have a better shape and contain a lower level of silt as compared to the CRF/crusher dust. It is mainly used in mortars for bricklaying and concrete applications by suitably altering the mix-design
