India’s construction industry is rapidly integrating Industry 4.0 technologies to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness. This digital transformation encompasses the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM), drone technology, cyber-physical systems, prefabrication, and green construction practices.
A recent report by PwC, titled “Construction Industry Vision 2025: Towards a Digital Future,” highlights that the sector contributed approximately 8% to India’s GDP in FY2019. Projections indicate this could rise to 14% by FY2040, with employment in the sector expected to exceed 66 million. The report emphasizes the need for technological adoption to address challenges such as project delays and cost overruns.
