Riding The Wave of India’s
Growth & Transformation
“Doing Business Overseas” Seminar Series
30 November 2016
JEM Auditorium
The International Monetary Fund expects India’s GDP to grow more than 7% this year, making India one of the
world’s fastest-growing economies. Powered by a middle class that is expected to more than triple to 89
million households by 2025, India has an attractive long-term future and compares favourably with other emerging
markets.
With the increasing trend in urbanisation and development programs like Smart Cities, Housing for All, and AM-
RUT, there are many opportunities for Singapore companies in the construction industry in India.
Shortage in skilled workforce, increasing demand for quality and on-time delivery, and the onset of the Real Estate
Regulatory Bill are constituents for a game change in the industry. The introduction of Goods & Services Tax in
2017 will ease tax-related complexities in the construction sector and bring with it a major spurt in activities and un-
precedented growth in modern India.
