Industry overview

The Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) industry in India is a cornerstone of the nation’s infrastructure development, playing a key role in sectors such as energy, transportation, water management, and industrial projects. The EPC model involves a single entity managing the design, procurement of materials, and construction of a project, delivering a functional facility to the client. This integrated approach ensures efficiency, quality, and accountability. The telecommunications sector plays an important role in the Indian economy as it contributes to the economic growth and GDP and generates revenue for the government. There has been growth in the last few years in the telecom sector on the back of strong consumer demand and supportive policies by the government. For instance, the services of the telecom sector are available to consumers at an affordable rate due to fair competition and a proactive regulatory framework by the government. As of March 2026 India, has the world’s second largest subscriber base of 1.33 billion second to China. It jumped to 45th rank in 2025 from 67th in 2021 in the Network Readiness Index, an index published by Portulans Institute, an independent non-profit research and educational institute based in Washington DC which maps the network readiness landscape of 130 plus economies based on their performance in four areas - Technology, People, Governance, and Impact.

India is the world’s most populous country with 1.46 billion people. Out of this, 63.1% of the population lives in rural areas and 36.9% are connected to the urban centres according to United Nations.  At this current growth rate, the urban population is estimated to reach 951 million by 2050 which will represent 50% of the country’s population will be in urban cities. This unsustainable increase in urban population exerts enormous pressure on city planners, especially for provisioning utility services, particularly water supply, sewerage, storm water drainage and solid waste management.

Natural Gas being a clean energy is used for multiple purposes in India. Natural gas production in FY26 stood at 34,326 MMSCM, indicating a decline of 3.60% from FY25. India's domestic natural gas production reduced due to a considerable decrease in output from production sharing contract/joint venture (PSC/JV) fields. As of YTD27, the natural gas production stood at 5,543 MMSCM.  Companies producing Natural Gas use certain quantity of gas for their own use as internal consumption and the rest of the gas is used as a part of technical requirement. After the usage of Natural Gas for their own requirement and internal consumption, the net production for sale of gas to consuming sectors like power, fertilizer, CGD, refinery, petrochemicals etc. was almost 98.6% of the gross production in the month of May 2026.
