GlobalData expects the construction industry in India to expand by 5.8% in real terms this year, supported by increased government investment in transport, healthcare, energy, and housing construction. As part of the financial year (FY) 2022/2023 (April 2022 to March 2023) Budget, the government announced a capital expenditure of INR7.5 trillion ($99 billion). Of the total, the highest proportion of expenditure-equivalent to 25%-was allocated to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. According to the Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation (MoSPI), the construction industry's value add rose by 8% year on year (YoY) in the first half of 2022. However, the industry's growth could slow in the second half of this year, owing to rising inflation and construction material prices. According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), the pace of national highway construction slowed from 22.3km per day in the first five months of FY2021/2022 to 19.4km per day during the same period of FY2022/2023. The government is unlikely to meet its target of building 40km of highway per day in the current fiscal year, as it now has to build 55km of highway per day in the remaining seven-month period to meet its target.
The industry is expected to record an annual average growth of 6.1% from 2023 to 2026, supported by a strong pipeline of infrastructure projects. According to the Infrastructure and Project Monitoring Division of the MoSPI-as of September 1, 2022-India had 1,526 projects in the pipeline, valued at INR25.9 trillion ($337.7 billion). Of the total, projects in the road transport and highway sector account for the highest number of projects in the pipeline, equivalent to 54.5%; this is followed by railways (11.3%), petroleum (9.1%), coal (8%), power (5.1%), and water resources (2.7%). Financial assistance from a multitude of international financial institutions will further support demand in the Indian construction industry. In July 2022, the World Bank approved loans worth INR134.3 billion ($1.8 billion) to support the development of India's healthcare sector, and drive private sector investment. Of the total, INR76.7 billion ($1 billion) will be allocated to support the country's flagship Pradhan Mantri-Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission (PM-ABHIM), in order to improve public healthcare infrastructure across the country
