How do you assess India’s construction industry growth over the years?
India’s construction industry has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving from a predominantly unorganised sector into the world's third-largest construction market. Over the past decade, the industry has experienced a robust CAGR of approximately 8%, fuelled by the government’s strong emphasis on infrastructure development, rapid urbanisation, and the rising demand for housing driven by a growing population. Key reforms such as the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) and the implementation of GST have further streamlined the sector, enhancing transparency and bolstering investor confidence.
What is the role of the real estate sector and urbanisation in the growth of the Indian construction industry?
The real estate sector and urbanisation have played pivotal roles in driving the growth of India’s construction industry. As urbanisation accelerates, particularly in tier-1 and tier-2 cities, the demand for residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments continues to surge. The real estate sector, which contributes approximately 7% to India’s GDP, has been instrumental in this transformation. With the urban population projected to reach 600 million by 2030, the need for quality housing, smart cities, and robust infrastructure is expected to grow exponentially. Government initiatives such as ‘Housing for All’ and the ‘Smart Cities Mission’ are further propelling this expansion, setting new benchmarks for the construction industry in India.
