India’s construction sector witnessed a dramatic uptick in April 2025, with over 1,562 new projects recorded across building, industrial, and infrastructure verticals.
The surge signals robust investor confidence, renewed public-private collaboration, and an urgent push towards modernising civic and industrial frameworks nationwide. Out of the total projects documented, 955 were building-related, with a combined footprint of over 242 million square feet and a staggering projected investment of ₹86,942 crore. Of these, 336 have already broken ground, while the remaining 619 are in early-stage development. The data reveals a near-even split between public sector (408 projects) and private sector (547 projects) initiatives, underscoring balanced growth.
Among the standout developments is a high-profile mixed-use project by the Homeland Group in Mohali, Punjab. Spread over 15 acres, the scheme will house a premium retail mall, India’s largest indoor live performance arena, boutique commercial offices, and luxury serviced apartments. Site preparations are underway with foundation works initiated, although a construction partner is yet to be finalised. In the public sector, the ambitious LIGO India Observatory project in Aundha, Maharashtra, is gaining momentum. With a sanctioned investment of ₹1,600 crore, the project—under the Department of Atomic Energy—is scheduled for completion by 2029. The facility will mark a milestone in India’s scientific infrastructure and contribute to global astrophysics research.
April also saw an aggressive rollout of government tenders, with 496 new procurement opportunities floated, valued at over ₹26,733 crore. Key departments involved include the Public Works Departments of Assam and Maharashtra, the Military Engineer Services, and the NBCC (India) Ltd. Industrial and infrastructure projects continue to keep pace. In total, 432 new industrial ventures worth ₹64,820 crore were launched. Maharashtra led the chart with 88 new industrial proposals, while Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana showed robust performance.
The infrastructure domain added 175 new projects worth ₹26,120 crore, including 128 focused on water infrastructure alone. Maharashtra again topped the list with 31 water sector developments, followed by Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh. These efforts reflect rising policy-level emphasis on water resilience and sustainable resource management. A notable project in the energy sector is the ₹6,948 crore solar module and solar cell manufacturing plant in Khordha by Kshoma Green Energy. The project will span 450,000 square feet and contribute significantly to India’s renewable energy ambitions, both in terms of green manufacturing and reducing import dependency.
Transport infrastructure saw renewed focus, with projects such as the 98 km-long Ujjain–Jaora access-controlled highway in Madhya Pradesh receiving approval. The ₹2,029 crore road project includes a 4-lane paved shoulder spur to Ujjain, further strengthening regional connectivity. The breadth and diversity of construction activity across sectors suggests a new wave of sustainable and inclusive urban growth. With a balanced mix of public investment, private capital, and green infrastructure, April’s construction portfolio could serve as a blueprint for India’s next phase of development—one that seeks to be eco-conscious, decentralised, and future-ready.
