Industry overview 

Construction sector is one of the major segments that drives an economy. Construction sector includes a broad spectrum of activities including planning & design to actual construction. The sector is broadly divided into two: real estate construction and Industrial & infrastructure construction. Growth in the number of construction projects creates the demand for a myriad range of products and services. These include project management services, EPC/EPCM services and architecture consulting services, to name a few. EPC is a prominent form of contracting agreement in the construction industry. Companies that deliver EPC Projects are commonly referred to as EPC Contractors. Today, EPC contracting is the most sought method of executing projects globally. EPC is a contract under which the project is executed under a single point responsibility of a contractor. EPC contracts are pivotal agreements in the construction industry, designed to streamline project execution by transferring substantial project risks from the owner to the contractor. These contracts encompass the full scope of project responsibilities, including design, procurement, and construction, ensuring a single point of accountability for the project’s completion. The construction sector is a key component of the Indian economy with linkages across more than 200 plus sub sectors. Construction, the second largest economic activity in India (after agriculture) contributes around 9.1% to the national GDP. 

About oil & gas industry, India is currently the 3rd largest energy and oil consumer in the world, after China and US. According to IEA’s report under the stated policy scenario, India's oil consumption is projected to rise significantly by 50% by 2030, compared to a global demand increase of only 7%. India's oil consumption is expected to grow from 4.8 million barrels per day (mbd) in 2019 to 6.7 mbd in 2030. For natural gas, the country's consumption is projected to double from 64 billion cubic meters (BCM) in 2019 to 115 BCM in 2030. India’s oil consumption grew to 5.4 mbd while natural gas consumption stood at 60 BCM at the end of 2023. As of April 2025, India holds the position of the fourth-largest refining capacity globally, following the United States, China, and Russia. Pipelines are essential for transporting oil, gas, and water across India, offering safe, reliable, and cost-effective transport compared to road and rail. They ensure a continuous supply of resources to refineries, industries, and power plants, aiding in uninterrupted production and electricity generation. Pipelines have lower maintenance needs and energy consumption, leading to reduced transportation costs and economic benefits.
