Growth in the Construction and Infrastructure sectors will directly impact sectorial development, especially through housing. Government investment in infrastructure for FY14-15 USD 1 trillion as per Twelfth FYP:
Infrastructure projects such as dedicated freight corridors, up-gradation of existing and development of new ports and airports, development of new industrial cities on the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, etc. are expected to enhance the demand for capacity and production of construction raw materials
Real estate is expected to become a USD 180 billion sector by 2020
Specifically, demand is expected to be fuelled by rural, tier-I and tier-II cities
Strong growth in the construction sector is due to:
Large Demand in urban centres; Population growth and rapid urbanisation; Growing demand for housing.
There are policies that the Government is undertaking to ensure construction of energy efficient buildings and structures in India and concomitant reduction in electrical demand.
