Conart Engineers is working very intensively in Infrastructure Space, it is the space where India will invest as much as Rs 3,96,135 crore in creating and upgrading infrastructure in this financial year, and this will increase year on year as India is a Developing Country and will remain so for many years to come. Infrastructure will play a very vital role in India's Growth Story and Conart has the potential to make the most of this massive opportunity.


Industry Growing Opportunities: 

Minister of Road Transport & Highways and Shipping, announced the target of Rs.25 tn ($370.6 bn) for investment in infrastructure over the next three years including Rs.8 tn ($118.6 bn) for developing 27 industrial clusters and an additional Rs.5 tn ($74.11 bn) for road, railway and port connectivity projects. India’s 2016-17 Union Budget has budgeted nearly Rs.2.2 lakh crore ($32 bn) for the infrastructure sector, which is expected to boost India’s GDP to 9%. The total length of National Highways is expected to cross ~2,00,000 km in the next 5 years thereby offering significant opportunities in the State/National Highway segment. States like Bihar, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal have planned several projects both on EPC and PPP basis. The Central and State Governments have granted infrastructure status to affordable housing for urban and rural housing projects in the current Budget. The Central Government aims to complete 1 crore houses by 2019 under various schemes. 








They are into civil construction and seem to have recently gone into Construction Project Management. This seems to be an area with better profit margins.
