Labour shortage is an ongoing trend that we are witnessing across the construction industry today. While it has been estimated that the industry is likely to grow by 12 percent by the end of 2026, the problem of labour shortage is likely to shoot up to around 60 percent as a large section of the available workforce is choosing other lucrative industries over brick and mortar. In such a scenario, dealing with the mismatch between the project demand and labour supply can be challenging.

The boom in the Indian real estate industry over the past few years has increased the demand for construction workers by manifold. There are several factors which are contributing towards this shortage. These include the upswing in the construction activity in the Middle-East causing migration of the workforce, Government schemes for village improvement resulting in labour absorption in the villages itself, and rural employment schemes that have been motivating the laborer to stay back in the villages.
