Indian Construction Sector: Post COVID Scenario

Abstract

The COVID-19 outbreak has had a devastating effect on India's construction industry, causing many problems and setbacks. Examining the industry from multiple angles, including social, economic, and environmental concerns, this paper seeks to assess the post-COVID situation in India's construction industry. The study examines the immediate and future consequences of the global outbreak on India's construction industry by conducting an in-depth review of the literature. It delves into the difficulties encountered by construction companies as a result of shutdown restrictions, interruptions in the supply network, scarcity of workers, and budgetary restrictions. This research also delves into what the construction industry in India can expect from the post-COVID age in terms of developments and possibilities. Sustainable and resilient building practices are becoming more important, and this article looks at how digital technologies like Building Information Modeling (BIM) and remote collaboration tools are being used. The results of this study add to our knowledge of the situation in the construction industry of India after COVID. It helps researchers, professionals in the field, and lawmakers understand the opportunities and threats posed by the dynamic construction industry. In the wake of the COVID-19 global outbreak, India's construction industry has an opportunity to help the country achieve its sustainable development goals, create jobs, and boost the economy by adjusting to new circumstances.
