Overview of Economy

The Indian economy is one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world, with a projected GDP growth rate of 7.4% in
2023. It is the sixth-largest economy in the world by nominal GDP and the third-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). The
Indian economy is driven by a number of factors, including a large and young workforce, a growing domestic market, and
increasing foreign investment.

India has a diverse economy, with a mix of traditional and modern sectors. The major sectors of the Indian economy include
agriculture, industry, and services. The agriculture sector employs the largest number of people in India, but it contributes only
about 15% to GDP. The industrial sector is the second-largest sector in terms of employment and GDP contribution. The services
sector is the largest sector in terms of both employment and GDP contribution.
Overview of Industry
The engineering and construction (E&C) industry is a global sector that encompasses the design, construction, and maintenance of
infrastructure and buildings. It is a major driver of economic growth and development, and it employs a large number of people
around the world.

The E&C industry can be divided into two main segments:

Engineering: This segment includes the design and planning of infrastructure and buildings. Engineering firms work with clients to
develop plans and specifications that meet their needs. They also oversee the construction process to ensure that the project is
completed on time and to budget.
Construction: This segment includes the physical construction of infrastructure and buildings. Construction companies hire workers
and subcontractors to build roads, bridges, buildings, and other structures.
The E&C industry is a cyclical industry, meaning that it is affected by the overall economic climate. When the economy is growing,
there is more demand for infrastructure and buildings, which leads to higher growth in the E&C industry. However, when the
economy is contracting, there is less demand for infrastructure and buildings, which can lead to slower growth or even decline in
the E&C industry.
Despite the cyclical nature of the E&C industry, the long-term outlook for the industry is positive. The global population is growing
and urbanizing, which will create a growing demand for new infrastructure and buildings. Additionally, many countries are
investing in infrastructure to improve their economies and quality of life.

Some of the key trends that are shaping the E&C industry:

• Digitalization: The E&C industry is becoming increasingly digitized. Companies are using new technologies such as
building information modeling (BIM) and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve efficiency and productivity.
• Sustainability: The E&C industry is also becoming more sustainable. Companies are using sustainable materials and
construction practices to reduce their environmental impact.
• Modular construction: Modular construction is a growing trend in the E&C industry. Modular construction involves
building structures in sections in a factory and then transporting them to the construction site for assembly. Modular
construction can help to reduce costs and construction time.
The E&C industry is a vital part of the global economy. It plays a key role in economic growth and development. The industry is
facing a number of challenges, but the long-term outlook for the industry is positive.
