The analyst expects India’s construction industry to grow by 7.1% in real terms in 2025, driven by public and private sector investments in energy, industrial, and railway projects, coupled with government’s plan to expand its nuclear capacity from 8.9GW in 2024 to 100GW by 2047. According to the Ministry of Power, eight nuclear reactors, with the combined capacity of 6.6GW are under construction as of April 2025. The industry’s growth in 2025 will also be supported by investments as part of the latest financial year (FY) 2025-26 Budget (April 1st, 2025 to March 31st, 2026), that was announced in February 2025. The FY2025-26 Budget outlines a total expenditure of INR50.7 trillion ($603 billion), with major allocations to transport sector, with INR2.9 trillion ($34.5 billion) allocated for the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, and INR2.6 trillion ($30.9 billion) for the Ministry of Railways.
Growth over the forecasted period will also be driven by the Ministry of Rural Development’s, Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana- Gramin (PMAY-G), under which the government is planning to construct 49.5 million homes in the country by March 2029. Recently, in mid-March 2025, Larsen & Toubro (L&T), Indian based construction company, secured its largest-ever residential contract, with a projected value between INR25 billion ($297.3 million) and INR50 billion ($594.6 million), from an Indian real estate company, the Brigade Group. The project involves the construction of high-end residential and commercial towers in Hyderabad and Chennai. In Hyderabad, the “Brigade Gateway Residences” at Kokapet is expected to feature two luxury towers, while the “Brigade World Trade Centre” at Neopolis is expected to include a commercial tower over 200m tall, along with retail spaces and a five-star hotel.
