From Bricks to Bytes: Digital Maturity in Construction

India's construction sector is expanding swiftly, demanding integrated digital operations and stakeholder expectations

INDIA'S CONSTRUCTION industry is entering its most accelerated phase of growth. India's GDP for Q4FY25 surged to 7.4%, and as per data issued by the National Statistics Office, the construction sector led with a 9.4% annual growth. Further, the National Infrastructure Pipeline, public-private development, and a steady push toward urbanisation are raising both the pace and complexity of execution and with that comes shortened project cycles and sharper stakeholder expectations for large-scale delivery with precision.

Meeting this demand consistently is no longer a function of capacity alone. It depends on how tightly technology is embedded into operations across procurement, manufacturing, fulfilment, and post-sales management. This is where digital maturity takes shape.

Moving beyond silos and building in layers

In any large construction or building materials environment, different parts of the business evolve at varying speeds. Sales teams work in market-specific cycles, manufacturing schedules change based on regional demand, inventory conditions shift daily, and finance, operations, and planning must stay aligned.
