Labour shortage a perennial problem of Indian real estate

Ram Kirpal is a construction worker in Noida. However, this daily wage earner is not a regular employee or even contractual worker with any real estate company or contractor. He goes back to his native place, Purnea in Bihar, on each harvest season and agriculture continues to be his main occupation. He works on construction sites in Noida only when there is no agricultural work back home. He is part of the bigger problem that the Indian real estate faces – labour shortage! A Track2Realty report.

Will Labour Day be any different this year?

Shankar Mishra is a masonry worker at a construction site in Bengaluru. During the peak of the Covid-19, he was one among the thousands of workers who had no other option but to reverse migrate facing all odds. He thought at that point of time that his career as a mason worker was over. However, he had the surprise of his lifetime when the developer’s construction manager called him back and even offered to send a flight ticket for the same.

Greenfield construction cost rises 5-7%, labour cost up by 8-10% Y-o-Y in Q3 2022

The outlook for construction costs remains stable but cautious, as market volatility is likely to persist in 2023 along with monetary tightening, continued high inflation, a possibility of a recession in developed economies and geopolitical turmoil-related challenges going forward. Therefore, CBRE forecasts a marginal rise in the overall construction costs during 2023 across cities, with Mumbai likely to witness a sharper rise.

Many of them had their back of the envelope calculation as to whether the construction strike would actually help or hurt the business. Track2Realty tries to get into the depth of the issue.

India’s co-living market expected to double by 2024, says Colliers Advisory

The concept of “Shared Economy” got severely tested during the peak of the pandemic. Factors such as uncertain economic conditions resulting in loss of jobs, work from home and the shift of migrant population to their respective hometowns in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak brought the evolving Co-Living sector to an immediate halt.

The historic high growth curve of the stock market post Covid crash in March 2020 didn’t make every company’s share valuable.

How far this optimism is sentiment driven and to what extent the economic fundamentals support the business take-up is something that needs to be evaluated.
