A Word from the Author

"The country's economy has been on the upswing ever since the process of economic reforms was started in 1991. The Indian construction industry is a key growth driver for the national economy, contributing on average 6.3% of the GDP. The industry is highly fragmented and overtly dominated by smaller builders, although major players, especially those involved in infrastructure development, have already made their mark in the international arena, and it is they who shape the future of the industry. The current size of the construction industry in India is estimated at $70.8bn, of which the 87 key players account for nearly one third, while the rest is distributed amongst the 25,000 plus smaller players. A key factor which is responsible for the stupendous success of the Indian construction industry is the sustained political will of successive governments since 1991. India, with its abundant land mass area and a billion strong population, is therefore a major market for the infrastructure and property (commercial and residential) development. The Indian construction industry is set to achieve its true potential of being a world beater, which clearly suggests the huge opportunity for various industry players."
