ICRA has projected a 12-15% revenue growth for India’s construction sector in FY25, driven by the government's emphasis on infrastructure development. Key initiatives, such as road construction under the Bharatmala scheme, rail network expansions, and urban infrastructure projects like the Smart Cities Mission, are expected to fuel this surge. The report highlighted a healthy order book for construction companies and a strong financial position, positioning them for continued growth. Rising investments in roads, bridges, and transport infrastructure reflect the government's strategy to support sustained economic growth through robust infrastructure.
This growth projection underscores the sector's resilience amid challenges, with favorable policies and funding pushing projects forward. The ongoing focus on transport infrastructure will further boost the industry, ensuring that demand remains strong for the coming years. The construction sector's improved financial health and operational capacity have created a favorable environment for meeting rising infrastructure needs in India. As a result, companies in the sector are likely to benefit from steady project inflows and solid execution, reinforcing their role in driving national development.
Looking forward, the Indian construction sector will play a crucial part in supporting the nation’s broader economic goals, providing employment, and enhancing overall connectivity through vital infrastructure projects. The positive outlook for FY25 reflects the combined efforts of government policies, funding mechanisms, and private sector engagement.
