Report on Indian Construction Industry

In the last few years, the rapid growth of the economy has
put a tremendous pressure on the physical infrastructure of the country. In
order to sustain the economic growth, the government has lined up huge
investments across various infrastructure segments. The total investment planned
in the infrastructure sector during the Twelfth Five Year Plan is estimated to
double that in the Eleventh Five Year Plan.

Investment in the infrastructure as a percentage of GDP has increased from 4.5%
in FY04 to 7.9% in FY11. The Planning Commission has estimated that, for the GDP
to continue to grow at 9%, the proportion of investment in infrastructure as a
percentage of GDP is required to increase from the targeted 8.4% in FY12 to 10.7
% by the terminal year of Twelfth Five Year Plan i.e. FY17. Using the top-down
approach, the investment in the infrastructure sector during the Twelfth Five
Year Plan is estimated at a massive Rs.41,000 bn. Based on construction
intensity of the various infrastructure projects and similar allocation among
sectors during the Eleventh Five Year Plan, the indicative effective
construction investement is estimated at a whopping Rs.20,000 bn during the
Twelfth Five Year Plan. Industrial sector –construction opportunity of more than
Rs.4,200 bn .Apart from infrastructure projects, the construction industry also
receives orders from different manufacturing industries to execute construction
work for industrial plants and related civil construction. The construction
industry had been benefiting from the rise in industrial production in the past
few years. As on June 30, 2011, the total outstanding investment in the
industrial sector stood at about Rs.35,000 bn. Omitting the investment which is
already under implementation from the total outstanding investment, CARE
Research estimates the effective construction investment of more than Rs.4,200
bn during the next 4-5 years period. Eventhough, the construction opportunity
from both infrastructure and industrial sectors looks immense; order inflow in
the near term is likely to be affected due to slowdown in capex cycle and
awarding of infrastructure projects by the government.

Delay in project execution to hamper the revenue growth...

In the past few years, with the improvement in the macroeconomic conditions and
the growing emphasis of the GoI on improving infrastructure in the country,
construction companies have been benefited. This is evident from the bulging
order backlog positions of the leading construction companies. The multiple of
order backlog to sales has been in the range of 2.4 to 3.3 times over the past
five years. In FY09, due to the overall economic slowdown and poor liquidity
conditions, the multiple had declined to a level of 2.4 times. However, with the
improvement in the macroeconomic scenario in FY10, awarding of infrastructure
projects caught pace and the multiple increased to three times. At the end of
the FY11, the multiple reached a level of 3.3 times which was mainly on account
of the muted topline growth due to poor order execution. Eventhough, the
multiple of aggregate order backlog to sales at 3.3 times shows the decent
revenue visibility for the construction companies, execution of the order
backlog remains a key challenge due to various issues.
