Construction in India
Construction is the largest Industry in India providing jobs to over 50 million people. Around half of the demand in construction comes from the infrastructure sector whereas residential, industrial and commercial activities contribute to the other half. Since the last global crisis in 2008, the Indian construction industry has grown at 30% annually and will continue to grow. Need for industrial development and rural migration to urban zones for better living conditions are going to keep the industry on its toes in the coming decades.
After agriculture, making a house is perhaps the oldest of skills human. As we started to live in communities, the concept of cities was born in the Bronze Age of which the Indus Valley Civilization or Dholavira are the perfect piece of history we have today. Mega-structures like from the Pyramids, Kailash Temple to the Burj Al Arab are a living proof of the human abilities in craftsmanship.
