India's construction industry is the second largest employer after agriculture, contributing nearly 8% to GDP. The market for construction materials exceeds Rs 10 lakh crore annually, driven by housing demand, urbanization, and infrastructure development.
Key materials include cement (India is second largest producer globally), steel, aggregates, bricks, and finishing materials. The industry is adopting modern materials like AAC blocks, ready-mix concrete, and prefabricated components.
