Challenges Faced in Indian Construction Sector

The Indian construction industry is known to be inefficient and highly resistant to change. Even with a changing market and increasing competition, there are no obvious signs of commensurate changes in methods and approach. Project management, on the other hand, seems to offer what is needed in terms of tools and techniques to raise industry standards. Little is known of the extent to which project management as a discipline exists in India. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to investigate the current level of application of project management and the obstacles that have prevented its introduction in the Indian construction industry.The purpose of this study is to provide business leaders, government, policy makers and nodal agencies with an outline of suggested structural reforms required to de-bottleneck infrastructure implementation in India. It also tries to throw light on various factors or issues which are hindering the development of construction sector of India.
