Construction of several world-class malls, offices and residential buildings in Gurgaon, Bangalore and Hyderabad have proved that Indian firms are capable of achieving global quality norms in construction.

In relative terms, India’s average consumption is still low and the process of catching up with international averages will drive future growth.
