CONSTRUCTION ADVANTAGE INDIA The Indian construction industry has been on a high growth trajectory for more than a decade, led by buoyancy in sectors such as real estate and infrastructure. High growth in construction sectors India produces more than 0.4 million engineers every year. Moreover, India’s cost of skilled labour is the lowest in the world, with an entry-level engineer available at an average cost of about US$ 8,000 per annum. The Union Budget 2012-13 has allocated US $883 billion (INR 50 Lakh crore) to the infrastructure sector, reflecting the Government of India (GoI)’s strong focus on the development of India’s infrastructure. Availability of skilled manpower Strong government focus Advantage India Government expenditure on infrastructure is likely to result in increased construction expenditure of nearly US$ 253. 94 billion (INR 12,189 billion) between 2008–09 and 2012–13). High growth potential Easy availability of raw material India is the fifth-largest producer of crude steel in the world (2008), with a production volume of 54.5 million tonnes. Modern technology
Overview of construction industry…. All values in Billion USD
Requirements of human resources for construction by 2022…. To sustain the growth of construction India needs an additional 4 million workforce
CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS • Increased Government expenditure on infrastructure will result in increased construction expenditure of ~ US$ 253.94 billion in 2008–13. • Growth of construction materials industry directly linked to Indian economy, growing with investments in infrastructure/ related sectors. • Construction equipment market divided into 4: - earth-moving equipment, material-handling equipment and cranes, concrete equipment and road-building equipment. • 200 Indian manufacturers service construction equipment market. • Production of cranes &lifts/escalators is to rise by 20.3% and 11.9%, respectively in 2012-13 • Equipment sales expected to grow by 26% over previous year. • Currently, the equipment market is largely import driven, with India importing construction machinery worth US $181 million in 2009, up by 55 per cent over 2008.
CONSTRUCTION – POLICY AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK • The GoI has permitted 100 per cent FDI in construction and development projects to attract more investment. Some of the key specifications are US$ 2 million limit on lump sum payments under the automatic route. • Royalty to be levied as 5 per cent on domestic sales and 8 per cent on exports, net of taxes. • The depreciation on general plant and machinery is proposed at about 15 per cent. • Specific initiatives by the GoI that positively impact the engineering sector are Tariff protection on capital goods has been removed. • Various initiatives are focussed on infrastructure development and construction. • The GoI has also introduced initiatives to increase power generation and improve the quality of power supply. • Custom duties on various equipment have been reduced.
CONSTRUCTION - OPPORTUNITIES • The roads and bridges sector will continue to be a major demand driver for the construction industry, with the National Highway Development Program (NHDP) expected to generate orders worth US$ 55 billion over the next five years. • In addition, the maintenance of national and state highways and other roads is likely to create demand for road construction and maintenance-related equipment and materials. • Increased government focus on the development of greenfieldports and airports and capacity expansion at existing ports is expected to maintain a consistent demand for construction equipment and materials. • Other demand drivers include water and irrigation projects, urban infrastructure development, urban transportation projects, and water supply and sanitation projects. • Capacity expansion in the steel, cement, oil refining and power sectors to meet growing infrastructure investments in India, is also expected to generate demand for construction equipment. • •The equipment rental business is another opportunity driver, with the industry expected to double in size to 16 per cent by 2015. • •The export opportunity is expected to grow on the back of rising cost pressures on developed countries and due to the emergence of low-cost competitive suppliers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in India.
