| Description |
The construction industry in India is the second largest industry of the country after agriculture. The investment in construction accounts for nearly 11 percent of India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and nearly 50 percent of its Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF). The construction sector is set to grow at a 15 percent growth rate. Anything from $320bn to $485bn has been suggested as the figure that is needed to build a viable infrastructure and replace, upgrade and renew India’s roads, railways, ports, airports and power stations.
This event is designed to equip individuals in the construction industry to identify project risks and implement risk mitigating processes that can be easily and efficiently integrated into the entire construction process which will be essential in the transformation of Indian cities.
At Construction India 2010, the delegates will hear from top companies who have successfully implemented proven strategies that will benefit projects tremendously in terms of profitability, quality and delivery.
