 India – Construction Sector – Overview

General Background

The construction industry in India is worth over USD 51 billion (£28 billion)
and accounts for more than 20% of GDP. It is also the largest employer in
the country after agriculture, employing approximately 31 million people.
(Source: Construction Industry Development Council – CIDC).

India is the second most populous country in the world with over 1 billion
people and constitutes 16% of the world’s population. There has been
significant growth of the urban population over the past decade. For
example, there are:

• 6 cities with over 4 million (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata,

Bangalore and Hyderabad);
• 23 metro cities with over 1million; and
• 300 towns with up to 0.1 million

The organised real estate business in India is estimated at £ 8.25 billion

and is currently ranked 12th in the world, but is growing at a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30%. (Source: India Brand Equity Foundation
- [Link]). Consistent high economic growth, a shortage of residential
and commercial space, a booming retail industry and strong growth in
industrial output have all contributed to record levels of activity and
investment in this thriving sector.

The decision by the Government to allow 100% FDI in real estate in 2005
has led to significant additional interest and growth, both in the real estate
and construction sectors. Major international real estate companies are now
looking to India to help drive their business growth.

Building Materials

Building materials such as steel, glass, aluminium, paints, tiles, electrical

products, stand as additional indicators for the growth in the construction
sector. Products such as cement and tiles which are directly dependent on
the construction sector are witnessing growth of around 13% per year.
Other products and commodities e.g. steel, glass, paints and aluminium (ACP
and extrusions) are growing at 11%, 12% and 14% respectively.

Characteristics of Market

The Indian construction sector which remained unorganised until 2004

witnessed major changes lately which have been driven primarily by dynamic
policy interventions, free-flowing cross-border capital, entry of large

March 2008 Page 5 of 44

International players, capital market funds and increasing end-user
demands. The industry is also trying to move up the value chain and in order
to achieve this, companies are going through a process of consolidation as
well as integration. This is evidenced by infrastructure companies moving in
to developer space and real estate companies having a diversified portfolio.
Many of these companies are also tapping international capital markets for
funds and the sector has attracted considerable amount of funds from Private
Equity players. As a result, the sector is becoming more mature and
increasingly competitive leading to strategic alliances and collaborations. The
growing sophistication in the sector and a significant level of activity in the
infrastructure space has created new opportunities for UK companies in the
area of designs, structural engineering, project management and supply of
high-end construction products. To capitalise on these opportunities, the
UK construction industry needs to be positioned to take advantage of them in
the medium and longer term.

Key Methods of Doing Business

Market strategy: UK companies keen to compete and win business in India

should ideally:

• Evolve a long-term strategy – a sustained market presence is key to

success.
• Choose the right customer or partner (e.g. projects in States such as
Bihar and Jharkhand need a more cautious approach).
• Keep product pricing firmly in mind. India is a competitive market and
price is very often the only issue that is considered when selecting a
bid.

But clearly India is not a market for everyone. In many areas India has its
own capability and expertise, often at a fraction of the price of international
competitors. It is therefore important that UK companies identify the areas
in which their product or service can succeed and target these strategically.
UKTI offices across India can help make sure your company gets this right
first time to avoid costly mistakes (see below).

Challenges in the market:

• Price is often the only consideration for many projects, products or

services
• A long term approach, including a presence in market, can be vital to
success in the Indian market
• Having the right partner, agent or distributor can make or break your
plans.
• The bureaucracy of government can be a challenge

March 2008 Page 6 of 44

 • Payment terms, particularly in States like Bihar and Jharkhand need to
be agreed carefully to avoid delays.

In a diverse market like India, it is important to have the right market

strategy. It is often very difficult or costly to retract if wrong decisions are
made. This can also have long-term and damaging reputational implications
which can harm longer-term prospects. This is particularly true in the
construction sector which tends to require overseas companies to have a
longer-term presence in the market before business is won.

India is clearly undergoing rapid and constant change and the business
environment, availability of goods and services and opportunities in the
construction sector reflect that change. British companies which have tried
(and sometimes failed) to do business with India in the past are amazed at
how quickly things have changed, mostly for the better, since they were last
here. Private sector opportunities which would have been unthinkable 20
years ago, are now embedded realities.

 Opportunities for UK firms in the construction sector

Housing: Nearly 75-80% of all real estate development taking place in India
is in the housing sector. The rising income levels in the country have led to a
huge unmet demand for dwelling units. According to Housing and Urban
Development Corporation (HUDCO), the shortage in dwelling units as of 2002
was close to 30 million. This has given rise to major township developments
in metropolitan areas which is also spilling into tier – II cities. With 40% of
India expected to be living in urban areas by 2010, there is an estimated
requirement of 3000 townships by 2030. Development of large townships
open new avenues of partnership between Indian and overseas companies.

Besides dwelling units, the housing segment is also witnessing emergence of

luxury/leisure homes, resort houses such as golf homes etc. across the
country. The high-end housing accounts for 15% of the total housing
market. Many of the developers in such higher segment of the market have
tied up with overseas architects and designers such as Arcop architects,
Jurong, Pacific course design Australia, Greg Norman and Callison Inc.

Opportunities: Design, landscaping and interiors.

Commercial Infrastructure

Commercial infrastructure covers IT and ITES buildings, industrial townships

like Special Economic Zones (SEZs), retail malls, entertainment infrastructure
like multiplexes, hotels and hospitals which accounts for 15% of the
construction activity in India.

IT & ITES: The single most important trigger in the demand for office space
is the phenomenal growth in the IT and ITES sector which has been growing
at an average of 25% annually for the last few years. Nearly 70% of the
demand for office space is from the IT sector. The supply of office space is
estimated to be around 45-50 million [Link] at present. With the growth in
the economy, India needs additional office space of nearly 350 million [Link].
in the next 5 years.

Retail Space: The retail boom in India is of recent origin and is on an

ascending path. The retail industry in India is estimated to grow from its
present size of a little over £150 billion to nearly £275 billion by 2011.
Although, organised retail accounts for less than 4% of the total retail market
at present, it is expected to touch around 20% by 2011. Major Indian
corporates like Bharti, Reliance, Aditya Birla group, RPG and Indiabulls are
entering the sector. From 137 operational malls covering 28 million [Link]
today, the country is expected to have 525 malls covering 140 million [Link]
by 2011 (source: ICICI Home search). Already International design firms

March 2008 Page 8 of 44

like JHP, Astound and Fitch are working in the Indian retail space. On the
development side, Indian companies like DLF, Vipul and Ansals are tying up
with international construction companies for project management to ensure
timely completion and delivery of projects.

A development closely linked to malls is that of multiplexes. Often, malls and

multiplexes co-exist in the same venue. As of 2006, India had 130
multiplexes which accounted only for 4-5% of the total screen. However,
with nearly 10% of the urban incomes being spent on entertainment, this
segment is set to grow rapidly. According to a study by Federation of Indian
Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) and PWC, the Indian media and
entertainment industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 19% to touch close
to £ 10 billion (source: India construction report). Indian companies like PVR
Cinemas, Essel Group, Adlabs and Inox are major players in the segment.

Another area of opportunities for UK companies is the Indian Hotel Industry.

The revenues of the Hotel and Restaurant industry at £7 billion during 2006-
07 had registered a growth of around 21% over the previous year. The
industry is expected to grow even faster in the coming years with 70,000-
80,000 rooms getting added in the next two years. At present, there are
110,000 hotel rooms and the industry is estimated to require an additional
150,000 rooms. Opening up of the aviation industry, Government’s decision
to upgrade a number of smaller airports in the country and the forthcoming
Commonwealth games have all added further impetus to the growth in this
segment. Big hotel chains like JW Marriott, Hilton, Accor and Hampshire are
a few names that are tying up with local partners to enter the market.

Opportunity: design, interiors, facility planning and maintenance and

project management

Special Economic Zones (SEZs): Government of India announced the SEZ

policy in the year 2000 and enacted the SEZ act in the year 2005. Since
then, 395 SEZs have been notified and 154 have been approved. These are
specially designated duty free zones and are deemed to be foreign territories
for the purpose of trade. The minimum prescribed area for a multi product
SEZ is 1000 hectares which are expected to provide world class
infrastructure for the tenants. A number of overseas companies like Nokia,
Flextronics, Motorola, Samsung and Adidas have shown interest in single
product SEZs. The Nokia SEZ is already functional and the Adidas-Apache
SEZ is nearing completion. These are large integrated industrial complexes
which provide huge opportunities for UK expertise in the areas of master
planning, design and facilities management.

Opportunity: integrated township planning, landscaping and project

management

March 2008 Page 9 of 44

Major Infrastructure: India’s infrastructure has seen major developments
in the last few years to keep pace with a fast growing economy. The country
requires a total investment of around £ 185 billion in infrastructure in the
next five years. Projects like roads and airports also offer opportunities for
consultants and project management companies from UK. At present the
annual expenditure on road construction is about £ 2 billion. With an
additional road length requirement of 67,000 kms by 2015, the expected
investments in roads is over £ 27 billion.

Likewise, airports require a total investment of £5 billion both for

modernisation and development of new airports. Two airports at Delhi and
Mumbai have been privatised and two more airports at Chennai and Kolkata
are due for privatisation. In addition, Government has taken a decision to
upgrade as many as 28 regional airports.

Opportunity: design, structural engineering, project management

Green building and sustainable construction:

The green building movement in India started with the setting up of the
Indian Green building council in 2001. India follows two rating systems for
green certification. The first one is the LEED rating system being
implemented by the Green building council and the second one is an
indigenously developed rating system called GRIHA being administered by
TERI. The first LEED certificate was given to CII Sohrabji Godrej Green
Building Centre in Hyderabad in 2004. Since then the concept has gained
momentum. As of 2007, nearly 70 projects with a total area of 32 million
[Link] were registered for green certification (Source: JonesLang Lasalle
Meghraj). Nearly 50% of the green buildings today are in the IT & ITES
sector. However, the movement is spreading to residential, healthcare,
hospitality and even some infrastructure projects.

Opportunity: certification systems, intelligent design, interiors and

facility management

Urban regeneration:

The growth in the urban population and acute short supply of land in urban
India have given rise to a rising number of urban regeneration projects.
Nearly 500 acres of textile mill lands in Mumbai are with real estate
companies for multi-use development of these lands. In addition, palaces in
Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhaya Pradesh, historical sites in Kolkata and
resettlement of slum clusters across India offer ample opportunities for urban
regeneration in the country. Kamala Mills compound conversion in to office
space (Mumbai), Phoenix Mills in to a shopping mall (Mumbai), ITC hotel in

March 2008 Page 10 of 44

lower Parel, Mumbai, Dharavi slum resettlement (Mumbai) and Bata Nagar
(Kolkata) are a few examples of urban regeneration projects.

Urban regeneration has caught the imagination of even government

departments who are now thinking of putting large tracks of land in their
possession to commercial use. The examples are defence land
(cantonment), land with railways and postal department. The postal
department has recently formed a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) called Postal
Department Corporation for this purpose.

Opportunity: concept planning, design and project management.

Political Climate

India is the largest democracy in the world. It is a sovereign democratic

republic and has a parliamentary system of government with a federal
structure. The central government in New Delhi has exclusive jurisdiction
over all matters of national interest such as defence, communication,
banking and finance, international trade and foreign affairs. The state
governments have primary responsibility for matters such as law and order,
education, health and agriculture.

Political climate is stable, although the current ruling government is a

coalition of several political parties, which came together to form the National
Democratic Alliance. Typically, the term of an elected Government is for five
years and the country has a well established tradition of elected
Governments coming to power.

Even though different political parties have been in power at the Centre,
there has been a reasonable amount of continuity and certainty on the policy
aspects particularly relating to economic reforms.
