Construction sector firms' revenues to see 12-15% growth this fiscal: ICRA

India's construction sector entities' revenues are likely to grow by 12-15 per cent in the current financial year, while margins will expand by 25-50 bps, rating agency ICRA said on Monday. It further said that the government's infrastructure push will result in double-digit revenue growth for the construction industry in FY2025. The rating agency said it maintains a stable outlook on the sector with steady growth in operating income, moderate leverage, and healthy coverage metrics. "The aggregate order book-to-sales ratio of ICRA's sample set of companies stood at around 3.9x as of December 2023 (compared to 3.4 times during March-2023), thereby indicating a healthy revenue growth prospect over the medium term," ICRA vice president and co-group head - corporate ratings Ashish Modani said. He said, ICRA expects the revenue growth in FY2025 to remain healthy at 12-15 per cent on a year-on-year basis, albeit slightly lower than the 18-20 per cent revenue expansion assessed for FY2024

Construction growth in Assam created large-scale job opportunities: Sarma

Ongoing construction activities across Assam have created large-scale employment opportunities in the state, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said. He also said that youths, in search of employment, were migrating to other states owing to lack of requisite skills, and taking up low-paying jobs there. The chief minister was speaking at the inauguration of a skill training centre at Gogamukh in Dhemaji district on Wednesday. He stressed on the need for the state's youths to get trained in new-age and modern technical work, so that they can equip themselves for remunerative job opportunities available across the country as well as abroad. The Assam government has joined hands with Larsen and Toubro (L&T) to set up the centre with the objective of enhancing the skills of registered construction workers, aligning trained resources in the construction industry, and connecting trainees with future skills and modern technology. Sarma also appealed to the youths to get themselves trained

Delhi pollution crisis: Informal sector workers grapple with job loss

Saroj, a 55-year-old construction worker residing near the Bakkarwala landfill site, embodies the challenges faced by informal sector workers amid the escalating air pollution crisis in Delhi. In the wake of frequent construction bans to combat air pollution, Saroj found herself periodically unemployed for the past three months, grappling to make ends meet. For people like her, whose primary income source is construction work, the shutdown presents a formidable financial setback. "There has been no stable construction work since October (Diwali) and we have been sitting at home for three months now. The contractor informs us that work will only resume in a few months when the air pollution situation improves," she said. Working in the construction industry, despite its polluting nature, has become an unavoidable necessity for these workers, exposing them to some of the most severe health repercussions. "Fever, cough and cold and stomach issues are very common for us living close t
