The Indian construction market is hot property right now, and foreign firms are keen to get a piece of it
”I don’t see a weak sector – there isn’t a sector that’s not great,” says Ben Huskisson about the construction industry in India. He has run Gleeds’ operations in the country since 2010, two years after the consultant entered the market through a joint venture with a Mauritian company that was already operating there. Back then, it had just one office of about 20 people in Bangalore, mainly taking on hotel refurbishment schemes. Today, it employs 300 people across six offices around the country, working on residential, commercial, leisure, hospitality, retail and industrial projects, and venturing slowly into public infrastructure work. “There are very few countries that have got the same growth prospects as India and the quantum of construction activity has increased – there’s no doubt about that,” Huskisson says.
