Why India’s Construction Sites Are Stuck In The Past
Manage episode 499494667 series 3650782
India is still building like it’s 1950—while the rest of the world has moved on. Only 2% of Indian construction uses precast concrete. Compare that to China at 80% and Singapore at 70%. In this explosive episode, Roshan Baladevan breaks down why India’s traditional construction model is no longer just outdated—it’s financially suicidal.
What you’ll discover in this episode:
- The shocking reason government projects like Delhi Metro Phase 3 are constantly delayed
- How monsoons, labor shortages, and outdated methods are secretly draining your profits
- Why government agencies are now mandating precast technology in highways, metros, and housing
- How contractors are losing 30%–40% project cost due to hidden inefficiencies and wastage
- The coming policy wave that will disqualify non-precast contractors from tenders worth thousands of crores
- Real stories: How L&T, Tata Projects, and Shapoorji Pallonji are winning billion-rupee contracts using precast
- The mindset shift needed to break free from the 1970s model and enter India’s next big construction revolution
- The truth about costs, transport challenges, skill gaps—and how early adopters are already solving them
This episode is a wake-up call. While 98% of contractors are stuck in site-cast mode, the smart 2% are quietly building factories, training teams, and locking in government projects for the next decade.
