Smarter Construction Begins Here
Every construction site is a race against time — and outdated shuttering methods often slow things down. NOVA Plastic Formwork, one of our most trusted products, was designed to change that.
This lightweight modular formwork system features robust plastic panels supported with GI stiffeners, making it tough enough for high-pressure casting while staying easy to handle. Whether you’re working on walls, columns, slabs, box culverts, or drains, the panels connect seamlessly using our unique pins and wedges locking system.
Built for reusability (100+ cycles), this system reduces labor, eliminates crane dependency, and delivers smooth finishes — helping contractors cut costs and boost site productivity.
If you’re looking for durable, reusable plastic formwork in India, NOVA is the smarter, faster choice.
Nova formwork has many advantages over the conventional formwork available :
The demand for the quantity of materials on-site is minimized, as the identical panels can serve multiple purposes such as walls, slabs, shear walls, columns, foundations, pile caps, rafts, and more.

Nova plastic form-work system can be stacked on each other, reducing the space required to store. Besides, this formwork can be kept outside, indoor, in basements where there is water logging as it has no effect of water. Moreover, it is UV resistant.
There is no need to drill holes into the formwork. Plastic caps and plugs can be inserted into the remaining tie-rod holes opening. This ensures clean concrete surfaces and longer life of the formwork. Moreover, it saves time to drill and close the holes.
Concrete does not stick to the plastic material of our products. This reduces labour costs and saves time and energy. Even the use of shuttering oil can be reduced to a very large extent and hence its cost. It can be cleaned after every use with water.
Nova Formwork Panel has a unique locking system of pin and wedges that is easy to use. Moreover, it is very lightweight. Since it is easy to use, even unskilled labour can fix it, so it saves on labour cost too.
Saves time and labour.
Nova Plastic Formwork system has a very low surface tension, so it does not stick to concrete making it very easy to remove and reuse without any major cleaning work, unlike steel. As a result, it saves time and labour.
There is no need to plaster you can apply putty and paint directly. This is a huge saving on plastering cost, thereby making formwork economically viable.
It can be reused more than 100 times very easily. With proper handling, people have used it for more than 200 times as well. Hence, it saves money.
Nova provides a 25% replacement value on our panels. Thus, it reduces total cost even further and ensures we can recycle our panels.
As it is a 100 % recyclable green product compared to any other formwork system it can generate carbon credit.
