weaknes
s
Opportunitie
s
continuous private sector housing boom will create more construction opportunities.

Public sector projects through Public Private Partnerships will bring further
opportunities.

Developing supply chain through involvement in large projects is likely to enhance
the chances in construction.

Renewable energy projects will offer opportunities to develop skills and capacity in
new markets.

More flexible training delivery techniques are now available.

Financial supports like loan and insurance and growth in income of people is in
support of construction industry.

Historical cultural heritages like the TAZ MAHAL encourage and provide a creative
platform for the industry.

Remote areas in the country are easily accessible and plenty of land is available in
the country.

Threats
Long term market instability and uncertainty may damage the opportunities and
prevent the expansion of training and development facilities.

Problems construction industry is facing
Our construction industry suffers from capacity constraints, lack of
trained manpower and managerial skills with performance much below
international level.

The industry is starved of finance.

Small and medium contractors do not have the wherewithal to upgrade
their capability, both hard and soft, to undertake high value time bound
projects.

Quality, safety, environment and social aspects are also not being
addressed appropriately.

Though there are islands of excellence in a sea of
mediocrity, our companies must become global players by
modernising, intensive training of their manpower,
enhancing their turnover and change of mindset.

A positive image of the construction industry as a career choice.

Adequate training facilities to cope with increasing demands for Modern
Apprenticeships.

A workforce that is suitably skilled and qualified.

The transfer of skills from other sectors, such as agriculture, fishing, aquaculture
and forestry, to the construction industry.

Local employers able to effectively compete for the large scale construction
contracts.

POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONSTRUCTION SECTOR

Conclusion

In the years ahead, the construction industry in India has to overcome
various challenges with respect to housing, environment, transportation,
power or natural hazards.

Technocrats associated with the Indian construction industry need to
employ innovative technologies and skilled project handling strategies to
overcome these challenges.

The outstanding performance under demanding situations in the past will
stand in good stead and give confidence to the Indian construction industry
to bring about an overall development in the infrastructure of the nation.

The gains of large investments in the mega-projects eventually will
feedback to the construction industry itself in the form of better economy
and improved work conditions.
