What makes India lucrative for Construction Sector?

In the recent past, the Indian government has been taking steps to bolster its banking and financial sector, ensuring favorable policies ensures ease of doing business in India and bringing in uniform tax code among other things to keep the Indian economic growth on track and bring in fresh set of investments into the Indian market. In recent past, reports have indicated India as the fastest growing economy in the world with 7.5 percent to 8 percent growth. Even agencies such as S&P Global Ratings feel the Indian growth story is pretty solid. It has praised the Indian government’s handling of the economy and its effort to push for the growth potential as well. 

But in order to sustain this growth, India needs to focus more into its infrastructure sector. As per the last union budget, the Modi government has committed to increase spending on total infrastructure investment by 22 percent over the next two years. The Indian government and international development banks are making billions available for new roads, bridges, sea and airports, as well as railway and energy projects. In fact the Indian Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways and Shipping, Mr. Nitin Gadkari has indicated that the government will line up Rs. 25Lakh Crore for the highway and shipping sector over the next five years.  

Why does such a show matter to the Indian and Global market?

According to the Construction Equipment and Building Material Machinery Association within the Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau (VDMA - German Engineering Federation), India is currently the only Asian country able to point to a growing construction machinery market. Infrastructure development is commonly held to be the driving force behind this development. Even the German foreign trade and inward investment agency, Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI) data, expressway construction in India in 2016/17 is to be expanded to 15,000 km compared with 6,000 km the year before. With a view to current conditions and all currently foreseeable factors, the British market research company Off-Highway Research arrives at a very favorable forecast for the next five years as well. It envisages the approximately 55,000 construction machines the analysts expect to be sold in India in 2016 climbing steadily to more than 71,000 units by 2020. The top sellers, with a combined market share of over 90 per cent in 2020, are expected to be backhoe loaders, crawler excavators, mobile cranes, mobile compressors, compactors and wheel loaders. 

This means for all those who are connected to Infrastructure, Construction & Realty sector, a show of this nature not only helps you to various exhibitors, but also helps you engage with Industry experts, Associations and overall our visitors. The will help you gauge the momentum that is building up in this sector.
